TANDBERG Telepresence Interoperability and B2B Video Conferencing

http://www.ivci.com/videoconferencing_tandberg.html

It is widely accepted that telepresence can change the way people experience meetings—
and thereby change the way people work. But in the gloom of the global recession,
companies are asking themselves how they can get even more value out of their
communications assets. To that end, interoperability is key.
Certainly, isolated telepresence rooms that can talk effectively to each other, but not to
other videoconferencing or telepresence systems, are creating cost savings and improving
productivity. But as corporate executives ask what more can be done, the answer is
connectivity—making it possible for telepresence rooms to connect to other video
conferencing systems, so that more employees can participate in more meetings, without
incurring the high costs of travel.
Critical to success is standards-based integration with non-telepresence systems that can
deliver the best audio and video for each endpoint, rather than that dictated by the lowestcommon-
denominator device. This is a consideration that many companies—and even some
telepresence vendors—often forget, but it is key to leveraging the full value of a
telepresence solution.

Clarifications:

1. We transcode every stream. This allows virtually any standards based endpoint to connect to a T3 studio.

2. Our transcoding adds very little latency. Measurements show less than 50 ms when transcoding high def video (pretty much negligible).

3. Transcoding latency is independent of resolution. Transcoding high def video adds no more latency than standard def video.

4. Latency is independent of the number of streams, all streams are transcoded in parallel.

Telepresence is the wave of the future as you will see immediate ROI. In order to achieve the highest possible ROI in the fastest time possible you need to have a partner that can help you train your engineers, Implement the Solution and trouble shoot the system when necessary -

say hello to the new Cisco formally known as Tandberg

There is still a delay in the responses back from the remote ends that is noticeable. Can I ask how is this different from Cisco Telepresence? The new Cisco MCU and the MXE 3000 can already do this including all the transcoding between third party vendors including mobile clients.

Codian specs, laws of physics, transcoding takes time! You probably wont see latency across the pond like that, but I would be curious to see similar calls from San Jose CA to Bangalore, or Tokyo to Amsterdam! IF they are not transcoding every stream, it means they are sending multiple streams from each endpoint at different resolutions using ALOT of bandwidth.

Actually, I was at Tandberg (Restin VA) for a training session a month ago and while we were going over an overview of the T3 a Tandberg Sales Rep from Germany called in with a client using their T3. The video and audio were amazing. No latency that I could see and I have been in this field for ten years. Then to show the multipoint and round table application, the Sales Rep brought in NYC and London. Also, the Codian 8000 was in their Norway office.
