Video conferencing uses telecommunications of audio and video to bring people at different sites together for a meeting. This can be as simple as a conversation between two people in private offices (point-to-point) or involve several sites (multi-point) with more than one person in large rooms at different sites. Besides the audio and visual transmission of meeting activities, videoconferencing can be used to share documents, computer-displayed information, and whiteboards.
High Definition Systems:
- 720p video resolution for clear crisp images (1080p is on the horizon)
- High quality audio reproduction
- Advances in hardware and firmware, enable better encoding and decoding
- High quality computer image sharing to far side
- Backward compatible with legacy systems
Connectivity:
- Cost effective wide bandwidth availability and improved internet connections
- As an option – Priority connectivity to guarantee mission critical calls at additional cost
- MPLS and Quality of Service options can be deployed within current networks with firewalls
NOTE: ISDN lines are being phased out by most companies. On the rare occasions that you need to connect with someone using ISDN, I would recommend a conference service provider that can connect your IP system to the far side by means of a bridge and ISDN gateway at a metered rate.
