Video conferencing is a word we all are well aware of. The technology is being used in every field of business, in education, health, and the list goes on. ?Video connects people in real-time, with visual and audio to deliver more effective communications. As they say words have meaning, a picture tells a thousand words, and video does it all.
The concept of using video communication has in fact been around for a very long time. ?Video phones were first introduced in the 1964 World Fair in New York. It was presented as part of a bold new future. The technology however was impractical and expensive. It wasn?t until the last 70?s that advances such as Network Video Protocol and Packet Video Protocol improved quality and practicality. The cost still limited usage to enterprise organisations. By the 1980?s video conferencing entered the commercial market, albeit at still astronomical rates by today?s standards, around $250,000 a unit and $1,000 an hour to use. ?
The 1990?s saw advances in compression technologies, and the arrival of Internet Protocol (IP) set video on the path to what we now recognise as easy to use, ubiquitous video conferencing. In 2001 the ?War on Terror? saw TV reports via satellite video phone in real-time. By 2003 high-speed internet access and decreasing costs of video capture and display technology put video on the path to the mass market, for any business and households. Today Video IP Phones provide a superb user experience over the public internet or Private or Virtual Private Networks. High definition cameras, crisp audio and features such recording of video calls for future playback have dramatically improved accuracy of communications. Video phone handsets are now around cost parity with a lot of regular, non-video phones.
Large format video endpoints now provide video conferencing for any sized meeting room, from small offices to large boardroom multi-screen units, and at costs that any business can afford. ?The decision today is not about whether video is right for a business, but the right way to implement it. Hardware based or on-premise video is one approach, another is a cloud-based format. With the advancement of internet speeds, PC processor speeds, the quality of inbuilt cameras and microphones, and the boom in cloud storage, it is now possible to outsource video to hosted (cloud-based) provider and dramatically reduce the upfront hardware and staff IT costs.
Video has been with us for longer than you would think. Many technological roadblocks have been smashed to deliver video as we know it today. Without a doubt the industry is still evolving.
