CH Tan asked:
Video conferencing, also known as visual collaboration, has been around for the past eight decades but has only seen widespread use in recent years. This technology uses a combination of components and techniques in audio as well as video to allow people from different locations to talk to each other as if they were in the same room. It is also important to note that this technology often requires that the audio and video signals are synced to ensure better communication between individuals.
Video conferencing can be distinguished from videophone calls in that this technology is aimed at conferences rather than individuals. Although very similar, video conferencing is usually used for business purposes or other official purposes for governance, military and the like while videophone calls are usually used for more personal purposes. Video telephony is also another very similar technology and can be considered as the missing link between this technology and videophone calls. Video telephony was first implemented in the 1970s by AT&T.
Video conferencing uses both sound and sight to make the virtual conference more realistic. This means that 2 or more people from different locations can now see and hear each other as if they were in the same room. Companies can now conduct virtual meetings and conferences without having to incur travel expenses. A multinational company with offices around the world can now hold a conference with their country managers without having to fly each executive to a single location.
Video conferencing can add a whole new dimension to how people do business with each other. Company executives can now communicate with their employees even if they are on business trips. This is a lot better than emails or even phone calls since both parties can see and hear each other and even the small nuances like facial expressions and body language can be conveyed. This can help in minimizing misunderstandings between two parties which normally result from other more traditional forms of communication like emails.
Sometime in the year 2005, high definition systems were made available. These systems were developed and sold by companies like LifeSize Communications and allowed for high definition video at resolutions of 1280 by 720 at a 30 fps (frames per second) frame rate. Polycom also produced a proprietary high definition system in the year 2006. This can affect people who are particular about image quality. This can help increase company productivity since high def systems allow for charts and company reports to be displayed in better quality. Elder executives no longer have to squint at pint size monitors in an effort to see or read what is being presented. Hi-def video conferencing has also made life sized screen images of the people participating in the conference to be displayed adding a dimension of realism to the meeting.
In recent years, web cams have become a standard feature on many laptops and home computers. Most mobile phones these days also have built in front facing cameras for video calls and conferences. This means that the video conferencing can now be used on the go.

Why Audio Conferencing is Still Better Than Video

Kieron J James asked:
Call conferencing is fast becoming the preferred means of communication for businesses with employees, clients and business partners spread all over the world. When you are thinking about what type of conferencing solutions will meet the requirements of communicating effectively with your remote staff, you will often be required to choose between audio and video conferencing services. Both audio and video conference calls have their own advantages and disadvantages. But how do you decide whether you should opt for a pure voice conference or if you need to see the participating members too?
There are many things that you need to consider while making the decision. The difference between telephone conferencing and video conferencing is not always clear. You don’t want to switch from one to another and then later feel that you made the wrong choice.
Many conference call service providers offer both video and audio call conferencing facilities. Both entail dialing into a conference bridge which is nothing but a sophisticated server that can connect multiple calls at the same time. For cost effective conference calls, phone conferencing may be the best option.
Look at the following parameters to choose between audio and video teleconferencing. Audio conferencing is more preferable in many scenarios.
Your budget is a key indicator as to whether you can afford video or audio teleconferencing services. A video conference comes with a higher price tag. Most businesses can easily manage with a normal audio teleconference.
An audio conference is also easier to participate in. For a video conference call, there has to be some kind of visual display unit to capture the participants as well as display the images of others who are in the call. On the other hand, all that an audio conference needs is a normal telephone line which can be found almost anywhere. Audio conferences can also be made even from mobile phones. Consider the advantage and flexibility that conferencing via mobile phone offers.
Audio conferences may be slightly more difficult to control than the video counterpart. By making the purpose of the call clear and by discussing expected behaviour, the speaker or the host of the call can establish control even before the call starts.
Basic audio conferencing needs nothing more than a telephone. For most businesses that need to communicate on a routine basis with employees in other parts of the world, audio call conferencing is a more cost effective option.

Sardool Sikandar asked:
Video conferencing allows people at two or more locations to interact through two-way transmission at the same time. Video conferencing is also known as video teleconferencing or visual collaboration. Users require a computer, web cam, microphone, and a broadband connection to participate in videoconference. They can generate natural conversations by seeing and hearing each other. Videoconference of two persons is known as point-to-point while the conference of more than two people is called multipoint conference.
Videoconferencing is very useful way of communication because it saves money as well as time. People can do several business activities or meetings with two or more persons while sitting at office table. They don’t need to go anywhere to meet someone. Basic requirements for video conferencing are guaranteed latency, synchronization and broadcast. It enables people to have face-to-face meetings from a wide distance. Prices of teleconferencing are generally less than costs of travel. It’s an easy way to hold meetings, conduct interviews, give lectures and address employees.
Video conferencing is the best way of communication in medical, legal and educational fields. Normally there are three ways such as computer-based system, desktop system and studio-based system to set up a videoconference. There is a limited field of vision in Computer-based system that is why it is the cheapest way of video conferencing. Desktop system improves the quality of audio and video transmission due to dedicated hardware installed on the computer. Most expensive method of video conferencing is studio-based system that offers best quality conferencing. It is mostly used in large-scale companies and universities. Studio-based system is just like a room that is fully equipped with control systems, document viewers, overhead cameras, vision switchers and slide viewers.
An organization, company, educational facility or individual requires some basic components to take complete advantages of video conferencing. Necessary equipment for videoconferencing is camera that lets user to capture video information at his or her site and transmit to someone on the other site. Video display is used to display video at their site and a microphone to hear the audio material.
Videoconferencing terminals require a compressor/decompressor interface that helps in compressing the information while passing from audio to video to make transmission of materials sufficient over net. It is useful in sending the large files from one computer to another. Codec machine also works for decoding and encoding the useful information. A computer and high-speed Internet connection are essential for a successful video conferencing. High-speed Internet connection makes your video conferencing effective and interesting.
Video conferencing is reliable and an excellent method of communication. Videoconference can easily connect you with other companies. You can generate your business from one place and give instructions to your subordinates. It makes bright future for your business and institution.
