Hi-Def Communications Capabilities |
Oklahoma City's December lunchean featured presentations from Shellie Gullion, Regional Solutions Manager, IDSolutions, and Tim Kiernan, Sales Director, North America, LifeSize Communications. Gullion's Next Generation High Definition (HD) Video Conferencing demonstration showed HD video resolution that made participants appear true-to-size. The presentation also showed how LifeSize Room's advanced processing capabilities provide better video at any bandwidth, including HD resolution at 1Mbps, DVD quality at 512Kbps and Cable TV quality at 384Kbps. Kiernan gave a history on video conferencing standards and described the competition between HD standards that parallels the BETA/VHS recording battle. The presenters also discussed their respective companies: IDSolutions focuses on visual communications technology and services, such as videoconferencing and IP Video Surveillance; LifeSize Communications develops and delivers products with a technology focus on quality, simplicity and manageability. |
