HD videoconferencing system runs Linux

“The KX-VC500 offers SIP-compatible videoconferencing supporting
H.264-compressed 1920 x 1080i H.264 video over links from 2 to
8Mbps, and offers Internet connectivity, says Panasonic.

“The KX-VC500 is aimed at a broad swath of customers in
business, education, and manufacturing, says Panasonic. The device
is sold as a bare-bones box without camera, microphone, or display,
but can be bought with a “3-meter radius” microphone, and
presumably with a variety of extra-cost Panasonic camcorders,
webcams, and HD displays. The KX-VC500 runs embedded Linux on an
undisclosed processor, according to Nokia’s Qt Software, which
announced the device as a design win for its Qt cross-platform
development framework.”
