High Definition Video Conferencing - The Technology Behind It

Affordable Video Conferencing systems in high definition are leading the way in revolutionising business-to-business communications. Now working using a simple desktop computer, that operate with "off the shelf" peripherals, companies worldwide are able to better developing business strategies together.

What is behind this innovative technology that has opened up the market for video conferencing, that has led to making it a business norm, not business luxury.

When HDVC patented their Vidyo, Adaptive Video Layering Architecture they brought to the marketplace a software platform that had a low latency, while offering real time video communication between businesses. The system's real boon is its ability to make instantaneous adjustments to each individual end user guaranteeing everyone the best possible reception during a conference call.

This constant monitoring of video performance as it happens is due to the H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC), which allows the underlying software to monitor all users simultaneously and ensure optimum levels throughout the video conference call. The SCV works equally as well with a wide range of interfaces making it an incredibly versatile process, linking across the Internet with 3G/4G mobile phones, WiFi and WiMAX devices to give excellent connectivity.

Further versatility is offered by the application programming interface (API) that allows both existing applications and peripherals along with future developments to be easily integrated into the existing system. This allows users to create their own personal conference environment that is PIN protected so that their settings are preserved for future use. Customised GUI's give users the option to personalise their layout, embedded videos and additional applications to suit their own specific style.

The Vidyo system allows software developers to create new and innovative programs that are able, through the SDK Integration system and compliment one another. It is believed that such partnerships will further increase the spread and adoption of the Adaptive Video Layering Architecture, generating further interesting applications. SDK Integration tools and documentation makes it easier to develop video embedded apps that reproduce the high definition and incredible sound quality of their original product.

The all round appeal of the system is the embedded video, high performance levels and the low latency that means video conference style software is within the price band of everyone at a quality that makes it practical. The technology is adaptive and innovative whilst keeping within an affordable level. Its overall appeal to uses will be its integrated system and use of standard peripherals without the added expense of new hardware.

When Alex first got into learning about the different types of video conferencing equipment, HDVC software was still unheard of! Much has changed since then and he likes to keep his readers up to date with the latest developments.
