Vidyo Conferencing products have all been designed to take advantage of an organization´s existing IP infrastructure — with no dedicated networks required. And yet Vidyo still manages to surpass the quality of video communications as we´ve known them to date — and at just a fraction of the cost.
By addressing the performance, cost, ease–of–use, and networking issues associated with traditional conferencing solutions, Vidyo has at long last made broad–based video communications affordable for both enterprises and consumer applications alike.
Vidyo recognizes that when a company that has existing video conferencing investments decides to move up to a better solution, it’s unlikely they’re going to junk all their legacy systems right away. So we created the VidyoGateway. Via the VidyoGateway, your Polycom, Tandberg or other MCU-based systems can be given the added boost they need to interoperate with your new H.264/SVC systems.
Vidyo’s solutions address known cost and performance challenges impacting the broad scale adoption of internet-based video communication and collaboration. We bring the price, performance and quality of video conferencing in line with user expectations by applying Vidyo’s unique intellectual property that leverages the recently approved H.264/SVC standard — Scalable Video Coding. The result is a VidyoConferencing™ solution that delivers HD/Telepresence quality at the industry’s best resilience and lowest latency over converged IP networks. We encourage partners and customers to experience the difference our products can make to the quality of video communications. The VidyoGateway supports both H.264 and H.263 video conferencing, as well as G.711, G.722, SIP and H.323 signaling.
