7E Talking Head (TH1) using the HNS-9201 64 kbps ISDN feature for video communications 7E Talking Head 7E Talking Head
Video Codec

The 7E Talking Head family includes the TH-1, TH-2, and (coming soon) the TH-4 (H-264 for ISDN or IP). The TH-1 can be used with 64 or 128 kbps ISDN. The 7E Talking Head TH-1 VideoPhone is shown with HNS-9201 BGAN (left) but can be used with GAN terminals also (see bottom right). Two GAN terminals can be used in 128 kbps mode with a S0DA DU0 Multiplexer. The TH-1 contains an adjustable 6.4" TFT display and speaker integrated into a tough waterproof case adequate for cables, microphones, and headphones. The TH-1 offers H.263 realtime video or high quality 7.5kHz audio and low speed pictures. A simple mixing facility on the unit enables low-Z microphones and balanced or unbalanced line sources can be connected simultaneously. An I/O processor optimizes the audio/video for transmission and provides both professional XLR/BNC and domestic phono connections. Headphone jack sockets provide direct and cue (return) signals for monitoring purposes. The unit requires 90-264VAC 47-400Hz or 10.8-14.4V VDC (remote control requires two AA batteries).

Video Via Satellite -- for nearly any budget

  • STREAMING VIDEO is the "Poor Man's" solution for "nearly" realtime video broadcasting. Streaming webcasts are becoming very popular on the terrestrial internet, and now with BGAN, you can webcast via satellite from many remote locations. Outfitter Satellite's technical support team can give you pointers. All you need is a current model Macintosh computer and a camcorder that supports FireWire streaming and you can webcast via your BGAN satellite terminal. There is a little bit of latency because of the computer processing necessary, so your video webcast will be seen by your internet audience a minute or so after you take it. A better computer will help reduce the latency somewhat. To compensate (if your audience is gathered in a single location), you might want to place a phone call on speaker phone to make the experience more interactive. Fortunately, your BGAN terminal supports simultaneous voice and streaming data transmission!

  • SkyFile Video Software for BGAN Coming Soon! SKYFILE VIDEO SOFTWARE is the best solution for Windows PC users if live video is not necessary. All you need is a DV camera with Firewire interface, SkyFile Video installed on your PC, and an Inmarsat BGAN or GAN terminal. After you take your video clip, SkyFile Video becomes an all-in-one video processing tool, enabling users to create, edit, compress, and send video files through the internet via your BGAN or GAN satellite terminal. The software supports the state-of-the-art and highly efficient Codec Standard MPEG4/AVC (H.264), and enables you to adapt H.264 compression settings to your own personal requirements. The SkyFile Video software is FREE from Outfitter Satellite's customer service department. All you pay for is the data transfer itself. (Most Windows platforms are supported.)

    Good things are worth waiting for: new feature allowing live SkyFile Video is expected in the late second quarter of 2006!



- Talking Head VideoPhone Feed using two Capsat Messengers -
Embedded Photojournalist during 2003 Iraq war using Talking Head VideoPhone Throughout my seven weeks in Kuwait and Iraq, the videophone equipment exceeded my performance expectations. It was a breeze to set up, and traveling with the equipment was easy. U.S. Army vehicles had plenty of room for the gear, allowing me to concentrate on shooting video, and getting the story, not the equipment. It was a harsh environment to take sensitive electronics into, but daily cleanings, and dustings kept us on the move. When we did stop and set up to go live, or feed, I usually looked for a patch of gravel to set up on...It seemed to help keep the dust out of the gear. Tuning the phones in for peak signal was always a quick process, and connecting to the talking head unit couldn't have been easier. Usually, I could unpack the gear, dial-up to the satellite, and begin broadcasting inside of 10 minutes. The ease of use and reliability of the equipment cannot be stressed enough. I was able to have the equipment function well in conditions that halted military operations. I highly recommend this equipment to anyone looking for a portable, dependable system to deliver high quality video from ANYWHERE in the world.
