Keeping aside the cost and availability of net bandwidth, is this possible with Linux.
I could be mistaken but I don't think any open source video conferencing software can handle High Def. video streams yet. In addition, you'd need camera units on both sides which can support HD - that, unfortunately, rules out your average webcam or capture device.
Now, all that is needed to turn this into a conference, is a camera and linux box at the other end, and voila, we have a 2 way video conference.
That is one to one. Not a conference in the true sense. One needs a gatekeeper and additional capabilities at the client to view multiple streams in one composite window. Afaik vlc and mplayer do not have this capability.
