Alternatives & Opportunity
Vidyo
Traditional videoconferencing has encountered many challenges in its time. These challenges vary in cost, complexity, and many other areas that have limited the overall adoption of videoconferencing from truly reaching its potential as a legitimate means of business communications. This overall limitation has led to unrealized return on investments and higher than expected total cost of ownership.
Vidyo Inc. is a ground breaking company that has introduced a revolutionary new architecture for videoconferencing that has solved all of those challenges and allows the Federal Government to realize true ROI and dramatically lower TCO.
The VidyoConferencing solution is based on the fully ratified H.264 SVC (Scalable Video Coding) standard. H.264 SVC coupled with Vidyo’s patented VidyoRouter technology has eliminated the major obstacles of enterprise-wide room system, desktop and mobile videoconferencing deployments. Four of the major issues affecting videoconferencing today are cost, error resilience, latency, and ease of use. Vidyo’s patented technology addresses all of these issues with the VidyoConferencing solution. By eliminating transcoding and replacing it with intelligent SVC packet routing, Vidyo has been able to reduce the cost of multipoint conferencing by multiple orders of magnitude, while not only maintaining the quality of the experience, but improving upon it.
Vidyo has solved the problem of error resilience that has plagued videoconferencing since its transition to IP networks. Traditional methods of video compression and transmission were never designed to take into account packet loss. As a result, videoconferencing has always required a guaranteed QoS enabled network in order to work efficiently. Vidyo’s technology is able to overcome packet loss over 20x greater than traditional videoconferencing technology. The days of broken, pixilated, blocky videoconferencing are over. Vidyo’s products were designed from the ground up to make videoconferencing easy to use and ultra-low latency. The result is an experience unmatched in the videoconferencing world, spanning from high end telepresence all the way down to consumer mobile devices.
