The Trends Future of Software Video Conferencing Is Considerable
In the dominance of hardware video conferencing, the prospect of software video conferencing is optimistic. The core of its technology is to exchange voice and video information and control signaling MCU through software, the full use of PC, Tenveo video conferencing software, Tenveo video conference camera, Tenveo omni-directional microphone virtual network conferencing system.
For a long time hardware video conferencing system has been the highest monopoly. However, in recent years, as computer CPU processing capabilities continue to increase, PC audio and video codec’s already have a strong processing power, so the software video conferencing products mushroomed rise, and its low price, flexible application Active in multinational companies, government, education, finance and other fields, to break the trend of preemption video conferencing market. The near future, the development of software video conferencing systems may become the mainstream of future video conferencing.
Easy to set up software video conference:
Developed countries in the 1960s began to conduct video conferencing research until the early 90s, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) established the H.320 standard, allowing the Internet to transmit audio and video streaming into practical application stage. In recent years, with the enhancement of computer processing power and the improvement of network usage environment, the software video conference system has been gradually developed. Its video encoding adopts the MPEG-4 standard of ISO. Because of its wider bandwidth and higher compression ratio, MPEG-4 has better audio and video effects than hardware in the same network environment. Not only that, the software video conferencing system also has a wealth of data capabilities, favored by users.
The core of the video conference system The exchange of audio and video information and control signaling MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) is implemented by software, the structure of the server and client based on TCP / IP network structure, is a typical C / S structure . The server is a PC or PC server on which video conference service software is installed. The client is a PC that downloads and installs client software through a browser, and then configures a standard audio and video device. Common platform for running Windows, but the server also supports cross-platform applications on Linux and Unix systems. Therefore, the establishment of video conferencing system is very easy to implement, do not need special hardware equipment, do not have to use expensive special hardware accessories, just network, video conferencing software, PC and standard audio and video equipment, you can set up a large-scale video conference system.
Software video conferencing technology has its unique flexibility in building video conferencing. It supports distributed server deployment and building large conferencing systems for up to several thousand people through the concatenation of multiple servers. In addition, the PC client can be equipped with a professional conference site in conjunction with the standard conference accessory equipment such as a large screen, projection equipment, analog video capture card and high-end camera. The desktop PC or laptop computer only needs to configure the USB conference camera. To the microphone and other simple ancillary equipment can attend the meeting. Video software is available through concurrent user licenses, so users can dynamically assign clients to conferences as needed, as long as the number of clients participating in the conference does not exceed the user's permissions at the same time. This good scalable architecture provides users with more convenience Application mode.
Software video conferencing systems provide flexible and diverse network access methods, such as dial-up, ISDN, ADSL, leased line, LAN, wireless and other access methods. Not only that, travel far in the field of personnel can also dial into the conference system by phone to attend the meeting. At the same time, the HTTP-based multimedia transmission mode makes the software video conference system without any modification and can penetrate the security control such as the firewall and has good network adaptability.
