New Intel Create & Share™ Camera Pack Includes 56 kbps Video Phone-Ready Modem, Capture Card

More Retailers Sign on to Sell Camera Packs

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 1997 - Intel Corporation today introduced a new version of its Intel Create & Share™ Camera Pack that will bring imaging and communications capabilities to more consumers.

The Intel Create & Share Camera Pack PCI Modem is designed for Pentium® processor-based personal computers that run at 90 MHz and higher. It lets consumers make video phone calls to other video phone users over regular phone lines or the Internet. With a powerful 56Kbps video phone-ready modem based on Rockwell K56Flex* technology, the new camera pack version upgrades older PCs that have slower modems, while providing the benefits of high-quality Intel Video Phone over both regular phone lines and the Internet.

In addition, the video capture capabilities and 56Kbps modem are integrated into a single PCI card requiring only one PCI slot, a design feature that makes installation easier for consumers.

The camera pack - color-coded in bright orange packaging to distinguish it from Universal Serial Bus (USB) and PCI versions launched in September - includes an Intel PC Camera, a high-performance 56Kbps video capture/modem card, microphone, and a suite of Intel Create & Share software. It is available now in leading computer retailers and office super stores. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price is $399.
