Questek launches groundbreaking videoconferencing in SA

By Questek Advanced Technologies
Johannesburg, 26 Jun 2012

Questek Advanced Technologies has recently been appointed as a Vidyo hosted service provider of the groundbreaking Vidyo videoconferencing solution. Launching Vidyo at Questek last month, UK-based Fraser Dean of Vidyo introduced Questek clients to Vidyo's communication and collaboration software-based platform.

The highly flexible and scalable solution can be easily customised for individual enterprise and vertical market videoconferencing needs.

The patented VidyoRouter architecture introduces Adaptive Video Layering, which dynamically optimises the video for each endpoint, leveraging H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC)-based compression technology and Vidyo's IP.

Adaptive Video Layering eliminates the MCU and offers unprecedented error resiliency, low latency rate matching, thus enabling natural, affordable, high-quality video to work over the Internet, LTE and 4G networks. The platform allows users to quickly leverage the latest hardware innovations and new consumer devices, making it uniquely attractive to partners. Vidyo has been active driving H.264 SVC and SIP videoconferencing interoperability in various standards bodies since 2005.

Because of their transcoding-less patented VidyoRouter architecture, multipoint VidyoConferencing can be done over general purpose IP networks, including wireless, without experiencing noticeable delays or loss of information. No QOS networks are required for room system connections or desktop connections. Each participant in a Vidyo conference experiences the best quality their connection will allow, so that someone connecting via wireless in an airport does not dictate the quality for the other meeting endpoints such as an HD room system.

You could spend a fortune on purpose-built devices on every desktop of your organisation, but why?

VidyoDesktop software is built to run on the Windows, Mac or Linux-based desktop or laptop computers you already have deployed. Just a simple download and anyone is ready to have HD quality, face-to-face conversations with colleagues from an office, home or wherever their job might take them, without the burden or expense of an additional device.

The VidyoRouter architecture can be deployed as a private, public or blended cloud, making the infrastructure completely transparent to the end-users while delivering the cost savings of traffic localisation, inherent firewall traversal, and the ability to scale to thousands of concurrent multipoint connections. The result is effortless and provides cost-effective anytime, anywhere access to the best-of-breed visual collaboration.

Turn any standard conference room into a telepresence quality video communication room with VidyoRoom. Just a speakerphone, camera and single or dual screens combine with any VidyoRoom system to provide natural, high-definition, face-to-face videoconferencing.

You can now put the power of VidyoConferencing in the palm of every user's hand! Vidyo's game-changing VidyoRouter architecture leverages SVC on a continuum of devices, from handheld to telepresence room systems, all in the same call. What's more, the infrastructure scales effortlessly and cost-effectively to support the massive growth in endpoints that comes with mobile deployment. Go mobile and watch your productivity rise with the quality of relationships formed through face-to-face communication.
