In
the year of 1996, I went to the telegram office in my home town located at the
remote place of Odisha. Just checked with the officer that how much time will
it take to deliver a message at Hyderabad, India. After getting the reply from
him I thought oh! God we are going great. But after 18 years we are in such a
period where we can connect to people in seconds. We are in an era of smart technology
where we can connect to people at long distance in seconds. Now we can
communicate each other by watching faces such as sitting face to face and
having a talk. This has helped us to cut down the border, location and
placements barriers. It has helped us in
a lot of ways. It has given us plus points to add on, hence Video Conference.
Yes
the technology called as Video conference (VC). This has evolved with different
versions and technologies. VC has joined the race of smart technology in two
ways software and hardware. In both the VC’s people has to connect through the
Internet. For Software VC people need PC, Web cam and Microphone and for
Hardware VC one display unit (May be LCD or LED for present versions), camera,
codec and microphone as package. There is good number of software video
conferences in the market. It may be webex or skype. But for both VC’s the
backbone is Internet without which it cannot be connected and workable. It has
helped the new generations to cut down the barriers and has really helped the organizations
to have a professional biz talks. Through Software VC people can have
conference as one to one or may be two. But if it is group conference then
people has to go for Hardware VC.
It
has added benefits to its basket such as reduced travelling cost, Time, energy,
happening meets over web for people belonging to different origins without
moving from their place. Time and Cost are the greatest factors that any
organization can look at. If your employees are finishing the job on or before time
without travelling to any location, then it is really a good product to buy for
an organization. Now even people are connecting through 3G and enjoying the
speed of life. There is no worry where you are in the globe you can get
connected through VC. Now Microsoft has added another product for VC by
acquiring Skype. The tremendous use of it has really helped personal and
professional life of many people. It is giving good benefits to get connected
and share your information on web.
VC
does have other features too, such as sharing your presentation or a
multi-location call. In multi-location
call people can join from different locations (1+3= host+ 3 places). This is a
real helpful feature for the organizations placed in different locations. Let
say, you have 3 branches across the nation Bangalore, Hyderabad and a remote
location. You want to have a meeting at these locations without moving and
travelling. Then you can go for a multi-point video conference machine at your headquarters
and can connect to other locations through other machines of point to point. Let
say Hyderabad is your headquarters then you can install multi-point (1+3)
machine here and two point to point machines at the respective sites. Once
these machines are connected to the Hyderabad machine then you can have a great
call or meeting experience over web. You will find the face to face meeting
experience through VC. Even while having a meeting you can share your charts
and presentations with your colleagues and employees.
In
this market the leaders are CISCO, Polycom, Life-size, and Microsoft Skype who
have dominated with their world class products and features. For a lower cost
or comparative products you can find from Life-size too. This technology can
help you to reach more people at a minimum cost with less time.
