Is that you in the blue shirt and Khakis? Connection stays up fine for me, however the video seems to "freeze" when someone walks in...they seem to leave a pixelated "vapor trail" but the audio continues fine...then when there is no more motion the video goes back to normal. Also when I first tried to connect i got 2 consecutive "not enough bandwidth" errors...then connected on the 3rd try. Hope this helps.

connection just got much better...seems to me it may be a bandwidth issue...now its running just fine...both video and audio...

Oh, wow--that rocks! Thanks for the tip!

Cheers,

P.S. CAlvarez, it's streaming just fine...though, I gotta admit, watching an empty, quiet room with the lights out ain't exactly exciting.... b&

Not only is it not exciting, but it doesn't really test the bandwidth. If it pixelates with nothing going on, what will it do with a room full of people moving around?

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. Sounds like it's not perfect but mostly usable. I may have to spend some time on the phone with Apple on this. Our router never showed bandwidth over-utilization, so that shouldn't be an issue. We also occasionally see the trail or pixelation with internal stations.

That might have been me in the room, but the other IT guy was dressed the same, and also has a beard and glasses, so hard to tell who it might be. We have a strict dress, eyewear, and facial hair code around here.
