Integrated solutions for equipment meeting rooms, video conferencing, video presentations

Videoconference - is a computer technology that allows people to see and hear each other, share data and jointly process them interactively.

In each company a lot of time and money spent on business trips. Presentations to clients, negotiations with partners, trips between branches - are becoming too expensive, especially in busy city traffic jams. At the same time, half of these trips can be replaced with video meetings via the Internet. In this case, the cost of video system (or web-) conferences will be repaid with interest.

Presentation systems for conference rooms permit:

• Display on the big screens and presentation materials from a variety of media: presentations prepared on portable computers, videos, cassettes and CDs, documents on paper, slides and much more;
• Connect to the presentation system, a variety of sources (stationary and mobile computers, laptops, document-cameras, VCRs, CD / DVD / Blu-ray-players, receivers, terrestrial and satellite television, cameras, etc.);
• Communicate with remote conference rooms by means of audio and video conferences and exchange information;
• Use a single console that can be made in the form of built-in LCD panel or mobile wireless panel to control all the equipment room: audio-visual equipment, lighting, blinds, etc.

Should not be regarded video as a small add-in over the phone. As is known, through the voice is transmitted in only 20% of the information. If you see the eyes, facial expressions and gestures of the interlocutor - communication becomes much more approximate to the real.

Moreover, thanks to modern technologies, online meetings can be even more productive than personal meetings. For example:

• Web conferencing - allow to collaborate with documents and applications, view videos and images, while on the job. It is much easier than when several people are on the same computer.
• Video conferencing - it`s a business meeting using a video conference involving several (or many) people. Videoconferencing used to organize online meetings, negotiations, presentations, interviews or distance education. It uses with a small number of participants, or in the case where the majority of participants are in different geographical locations. If the meeting takes place between two or more offices, each of which is a group of people, it is advisable to use the integrated (hardware and software) solutions for video conferencing.

Such decisions usually include:

• equipment for audio and video received from a remote office (monitors, projectors ...)
• equipment for digitization of audio and video in your office (web cameras, microphones, ...)
• terminal for compression, transmission and reception of audio / video signal (Codec)
• software for managing of videoconference

For signal transmission can use the Internet, ISDN channels or digital telephone (ISDN). To different video conferencing systems (even from different manufacturers) to work with each other, they tend to use common standards for signal transmission (SIP and H.323).

SIP - it`s the most common open protocol IP-telephony. SIP allows a wide variety of services - in addition to voice, video can be sent as text messages, faxes, etc.

Devices and software for IP-telephony, supporting the protocol SIP, SIP form network. Each subscriber is assigned a unique SIP address in this network.

The most popular alternative protocols - it`s Skype (closed protocol used by the network only Skype) and H.323 (for example, the program NetMeeting is working with this protocol).

If the special claims lay to the quality of connection, then perhaps the purchase of Class Telepresence, which simulates the actual presence of all participants in one room. Such systems are more expensive and more play the role of image assets.

Besides saving time and money, new opportunities to work together in real time, video conferencing and web conference make more effective management of remote branch offices. Videophone greatly enhances the sense of responsibility, and Web conferencing tools can more accurately explain the problem and agree on the results of labor. You can use in your business the best experts, regardless of their geographical location, due to the fact that services for web conferences have become popular and accessible.

Room conference centers, conference rooms, meeting rooms and control centers with the latest audio and video equipment - it`s the key to effective business management.
