The term video conferencing technology includes all technical components (hardware and software) that enable real-time exchange between two or more participants via audio and video communication . Unlike traditional teleconferencing, the participants in a video conference can not only hear each other, but also see each other.
Professional video conferencing solutions are primarily aimed at larger companies and organizations whose employees are spread across different locations and who are therefore dependent on flexible meeting arrangements. However, small companies, agencies and service providers can also benefit from video conferencing technology. Even schools and universities are well advised to use professional video conferencing technology, as the coronavirus pandemic has impressively demonstrated with home schooling.
ComPeri advises companies of all types and sizes on the use of professional video conferencing technology. Together we can determine whether and, if so, which video conferencing solutions are best suited to your individual needs. We will provide you with a customized offer for this purpose.
The range of video conferencing systems is enormous and extends from simple software solutions to complex room systems. Different video conferencing systems are suitable for different requirements. We basically differentiate between five types of video conferencing systems:
Fixed video conferencing room systems
Conference and meeting rooms are fully equipped with audio-video transmission and reception technology. These all-in-one systems
usually have interfaces to media control systems and can ideally be easily operated via touch panels or tablet PCs with graphical user interfaces. In this way, video conferencing room systems guarantee trouble-free audiovisual transmissions even with a large number of participants
Immersive telepresence systems
For this purpose, classic video conferencing AV technology in conference and meeting rooms is supplemented with suitable video technology. Curved displays or projection screens and 3D cameras are often used to create a realistic, immersive conference and dialog experience. The curved output media help to enhance the immersive effect and create the illusion of a 1:1 face-to-face dialog
Mobile set-top conference systems
These are mobile compact systems that are pre-assembled in mobile racks, for example. The hardware required for video conferencing (camera, microphone and display technology) is already integrated. This means that any rooms can be temporarily converted into conference and meeting rooms with an internet connection.
Video conferencing desktop solutions
Desktop systems are primarily designed for individual workstations and less for conferences with a large number of participants and are ideal for video chats between two and four participants. The display quality of the audio and video content is usually between that of video conferencing room systems and video conferencing set top video conferencing solutions.
PC based video conferencing software solutions
Most laptops, tablet PCs and monitors already have built-in cameras, microphones and speakers and are therefore also suitable for rudimentary video conferencing.
The respective hardware is supplemented with a video conferencing software solution for this purpose. This can be installed locally on the device as an on-premise software or used as a browser-based cloud solution. The sound and image quality of PC-based video conferencing solutions generally does not come close to that of room systems, immersive telepresence systems, mobile set-top conferencing systems or desktop video conferencing solutions.
In principle, anyone with a smartphone, tablet or laptop with internet access can take part in a video conference. However, video and audio quality usually do not meet the requirements. If you want to enjoy the best Full HD video quality and the highest audio standards, you should not do without the installation of professional video conferencing technology. This is made up of various hardware and software components, which can also vary depending on the system selected.
As a rule, the following components are required for well-functioning video conferencing systems:
In a video conference, the remote party (i.e. the call partner) must feel as if they are sitting in the same room. This applies not only to the sound, but also to the image. It is also important to think about the right mix of the sound.
