Video Conference Technology: An Old Way to Communicate

Video conference technology has evolved dramatically from the low-quality images and muffled audio of the past. With life-like images of participants delivered in high-quality audio and video, Cisco TelePresence offers a breakthrough technology that significantly improves virtual meetings and remote collaboration that you otherwise couldn't get with standard video conference technology.

Cisco TelePresence presents participants in full-spatial audio and life-like, high-definition (1080p) video that delivers high quality and low latency at low bandwidths. The result is an immersive experience in which it feels like all participants are in the same room, even when they are dispersed around the globe. This live, "in-person" experience takes place over an Internet Protocol (IP) network and is based on video conference technology standards like H.323 and SIP.

The impact of Cisco TelePresence can transform your business. Misunderstandings are minimized if not eliminated with the Cisco TelePresence experience, especially compared to typical video conference technology. Language barriers are more easily overcome. Information flows freely throughout your organization. Decisions are fast-tracked. You do not simply keep up with the pace of business. You stay several steps ahead.

Cisco TelePresence Solutions

Cisco TelePresence is supported by Cisco's extensive networking knowledge and the Cisco Service-Oriented Network Architecture (SONA), which optimizes the experience over one network. As a standards-based solution, Cisco TelePresence can also interoperate with other standard video conference technology. Therefore, Cisco TelePresence is a solution that lets you connect securely and reliably, integrates enterprise applications on your network, and scales use at a low total cost of ownership.

Cisco TelePresence solutions include:

• Cisco TelePresence System 3200, a three-screen system with two rows of tables that seat up to 18 people. This system is designed for large team meetings and training or distance-learning applications.
• Cisco TelePresence System 3000, a three-screen system with a table seating six on each side, fits easily into most standard conference rooms.
• Cisco TelePresence System 1000, a single-screen solution for small groups or one-on-ones. The system can be installed in offices or general-purpose conference rooms.
• Cisco TelePresence System 500, a single-screen solution for one or two users in a private office, for remote one-on-one meetings as well as large, multipoint conferences.
• These endpoints work with Cisco TelePresence Manager software, which provides easy call scheduling and setup, and the Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch for multipoint calls or interoperability with standard video conference technology.
