VidyoConferencing solutions just work. Easily. Reliably. Inexpensively. Pleasingly. From anywhere. And that’s because Vidyo provides for high-quality, low-latency, highly resilient, broad-based deployments over general-purpose networks with the introduction of the first multi-point video conferencing solution designed to work like the Internet itself. That’s right - out is the old MCU-centric model and in is the first solution for video conferencing designed specifically for the world of distributed computing - all thanks to Vidyo’s unique intellectual property and the advent of the VidyoRouter™.
Vidyo’s conferencing solutions are the first to take advantage of the most recent enhancement to the H.264 standard for video compression - Scalable Video Coding (SVC). The result is HD/Telepresence quality enhanced by industry-best resilience and low-latency and all delivered over general-purpose IP networks. VidyoConferencing solutions provide quality experiences for all participants, ranging from Mac and Windows desktops to special video conferencing room solutions. No dedicated networks ever required.
A Better Vidyo Conferencing Experience
Even as video communications have become more integral to enterprise applications over the past few years, the limitations of the current crop of video communications solutions have become uncomfortably apparent. Beyond the expense of the systems and solutions themselves — not to mention the special rooms and dedicated networks these systems require — users have been forced to bear with decidedly marginal performance … choppy frames, long delays, blurred motion, broken pictures, and the like. Given the expense of these systems, people have had good reason to expect more.
And now those expectations will finally be realized. Allow us to introduce you to VidyoConferencing products that deliver higher-quality experiences and greater deployment flexibility — and all at a lower cost … over general-purpose IP networks. Does this sound too good to be true? Believe it! And that’s just for one simple reason: VidyoConferencing products are built on top of a better technical foundation than all those other video conferencing solutions — namely, the H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC) standard. What’s more, a full range of user environments is provided for — extending all the way from the home-office desktop up to the dedicated corporate video-conferencing facility.
VidyoConferencing products have all been designed to take advantage of an organization’s existing IP infrastructure — with no dedicated networks required. And yet Vidyo still manages to surpass the quality of video communications as we’ve known them to date — and at just a fraction of the cost. By addressing the performance, cost, ease-of-use, and networking issues associated with traditional conferencing solutions, Vidyo has at long last made broad-based video communications affordable for both enterprises and consumer applications alike.
VidyoTechnology’s technical advantage over traditional systems also allows for these new features and benefits:
