Video Conferencing with SVC Technology
The Vidyo Difference
Due to transcoding, legacy MCU-based multi-party video conferencing solutions suffer from degraded video quality and time lags, where the audio and video don’t seem to ever fully synchronize — making natural, real-time interaction unachievable like the way it really ought to be. Newer Telepresence solutions, based on video-switched architectures, have managed to solve these latency and quality issues — but only for those fortunate enough to have access to very expensive dedicated-room facilities. This, of course, imposes an arbitrary limit on who and how many can participate in a video conference without being impaired by technology limitations, and it all but eliminates the potential for spontaneous get-togethers with far-flung colleagues by way of high-quality connections. What’s more, to perform up to their full potential, legacy Telepresence solutions have traditionally relied upon the availability of enhanced or dedicated networks. Needless to say, this alone can blow a hole in your organization’s operating budget.
And then there’s Vidyo’s next-generation architecture. Built around an affordable VidyoRouter and enabled by Scalable Video Coding (SVC) technology, Vidyo’s approach is the first to achieve Personal Telepresence, whereby the high-quality and low-latency video experience of Telepresence is combined with the convenience of reservation-less access to multi-party conferences from any point across a general-purpose network — using whatever current Mac or Windows system happens to be most readily at hand. And since the VidyoConferencing system scales easily and cost-effectively to tens of thousands of users, the same quality experience that was formerly enjoyed exclusively by executives and senior managers can now be extended to all levels throughout an organization.
