Skype Journal: Testing Video Colour on Skype Apps
July 13, 2005 04:46 PM
Carlo and I had fun today checking all the 3rd party applications for how well they manage the rendition of colour.
We were very impressed. Here is a screenshot of Spontania's Video4IM.
On the right is the original colour chart before being viewed through my camera and on the left is what Carlo recieved at his computer in Denmark.
We also tested bypassing the camera by streaming direct to the Video4IM client. Same results.
Next week we will show you how to set your camera up and do this same test so you do not need to listen to our opinions. (smile)

Is this simply a function of Windows? I'd think that color would be part of the operating system by now.

Hey Phil!
Welcome to videoland.
Some apps do not rendition colour well. It is a codec property, a lighting issue and could be a camera issue. That is what we are testing.
Regards, Bill
