End of Life for Hardware Video Conferencing
It’s time to shut the hardware based video conferencing as
the industries which are relying on video communication are now switching to
software based video conferencing. As the recent surveys conducted by Gartner
and Wainhouse, it is evident that in mere future all hardware based video
conferencing will be replaced by software solution.
Previously with hardware based video conferencing we need to
purchase a codec box or MCU which are very expensive. For every end user we had
to buy a different codec box and MCU to do the conferencing. If one wanted to
interact with the ten different locations, he or she had to purchase ten
different devices to make it happen. Today this scenario has completely
changed, in software based solutions MCU is inbuilt and users can add up to
2000 locations.
Apart from inbuilt MCU’s the security, reliability and
quality of the video is strategically very high in software in comparison with
the hardware solution. The intervention of the H.323
gateway in HD video conferencing software is allowing the users to even
connect with the existing hardware VC.
In the last 3 years itself Video collaboration industry has
seen a major change with availability of bandwidth in the urban areas. With
video conferencing software, these
setups have become everyday functional equipments rather than being the rarely
used ornaments of the corporate Boardroom.
Software based video conferencing is already an established
and trusted solution which is being used by billions of industries and business
personals around the world. This solution is having timely up gradations in the
technology. Today 4K technology is the most trending feature in video conferencing software, through which the quality of the video will be 4 times better
than the existing Full HD resolution.
