Video conferencing systems

Video conferencing systems

You will probably have seen video conferencing in action on the evening news where you see a newsreader in the local television studio interviewing a "television monitor" which shows a foreign news correspondent reporting on news from that country.

The basic setup for video conferencing, is to have a video camera in your meeting room that sends your image to a remote office and the remote office's video camera sends their image to you which is displayed on a screen such as LCD monitor or plasma screen. This is normally referred to as point-2-point videoconferencing and is fairly straightforward, you simply ensure you have the necessary hardware equipment and the lines, then dial the remote office and away you go. Multipoint (group) conferences is where your meeting room and two or more other remote offices all wish to join in the meeting.

Video conferencing has great cost-saving benefits for many organisations as it saves on time, travel and accommodation expenses normally incurred by travelling to meetings. For instance, if a company has offices in London and Lincolnshire and needs monthly meetings with all staff attending, then installing a video conference system at each site would save hundreds of pounds per month.

Simply put, a video call allows you to be in several places at once. It gives access to experts and consultants not otherwise reachable. Real-time document sharing, regardless of time zones, enables executives to make key decisions. Imagine trying to describe artwork over the telephone. With video conferencing you can see the artwork for yourself, and if it is displayed on an interactive whiteboard, then annotations and amendments can be made, discussed and changed as necessary.
