Vidyo Personal Telepresence to Integrate with Adobe Connect 8

Nov 1, 2010

APIs Available Now; Product Anticipated in Early 2011

Hackensack, NJ – November 1, 2010 – Vidyo, Inc., the first company to deliver personal telepresence, today announced that it will support the latest version of Adobe’s enterprise Web conferencing solution, Adobe® Connect™ 8, with a “personal telepresence” plug-in that is being developed by Vidyo using Adobe Connect 8 Collaboration Builder SDK. The plug-in will allow users to launch a telepresence-quality Vidyo™ conference within an Adobe Connect session to interact and collaborate with multiple parties. The plug-in will integrate Vidyo and Adobe Connect using Vidyo APIs, and is the result of an ongoing collaboration to offer market leading solutions to Adobe users. This announcement follows a highly successful and well-received demonstration of the integrated solution during the annual 2010 EDUCAUSE Conference two weeks ago.

“Adobe Connect 8 offers powerful new capabilities including a simpler and more intuitive user interface for improved usability, enhanced audio/video integration for richer participant experiences, a new optional desktop client for improved access, and a software development kit (SDK) for even greater solution extensibility,” said Guillaume Privat, director of product management, Adobe Connect. “Adobe Connect 8 makes video and collaboration experiences more engaging than ever before and with this new plug-in from Vidyo, users in education, government and other markets will be able to seamlessly participate in telepresence-quality Vidyo conferences. We look forward to our continued work with Vidyo.”

“Vidyo is committed to providing the highest level of video communication products for education and government” said Amnon Gavish, SVP of vertical solutions at Vidyo.  “The Adobe Connect 8 API allows us to deliver even tighter and more natural integration between our products and, combined with Adobe Connect, delivers a ‘best of breed’ collaboration tool for both Adobe and Vidyo users, as the need for high quality, easy-to-use virtual learning and collaboration products continues to grow.”
