Hardware requirements for students taking classes online:
(not for synagogues)
1. You will need a relatively modern computer to participate in the program: Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 are fine. Your computer should have at least a Pentium 4 class processor, 2.4 GHz, 512Mb of RAM for Windows XP. Any computer that can comfortably run Windows Vista will do. The so-called netbooks with Intel Atom class processor are not suitable to run the software. (If you use a Mac, there is a company that produces the software for OSX: http://www.mirial.com. The software cost there is 169 Euro and, unfortunately, we have no experience with it.)
2. A web-camera (a bult-in laptop or a monitor camera is fine).
3. A head set (headphones and a microphone) or a dedicated speakerphone
We will provide the software to individual students.
Synagogues/Groups
If you choose to provide your own equipment, a dedicated h.323 compliant hardware endpont, such as those produced by Polycom, Cisco/Tandberg or similar is strongly recommended.
