3. UltimateHD
Assumes the audience has been introduced to UltimateHD with the other presentation – so just briefly touch on the fact that each component is critical to a true HD experience. If not, then….
Another way of describing true HD without compromise – is Ultimate HD. Let’s look at the components of UltimateHD.
HD Voice – Audio is considered by most users to be the most critical aspect of any video conference. If participants are seen clearly, but can’t be heard or understood, the video conference will most likely be shut down. HD voice includes all aspects of the audio experience and ensures that everyone in the room is heard clearly with minimal background noise – and that any media played is integrated seamlessly into the conference.
HD Video – HD video has been defined by the ATSC as a minimum of 720p at 24fps, using the H.264 standard. But this isn’t the only video aspect that is important. Users need to be able to attach multiple HD cameras and other HD sources – and it all needs to be standards-based so that when the system is not in an HD call, it can call any other video conferencing system on the network
HD Content – for some applications, content in HD is even more critical than video in HD. Examples include distance learning where the content is a space shuttle launch or tour of a museum, telemedicine where the content is a brain-scan, or x-ray, enterprise where the content is an intricate blueprint or piece of textile with specific colors and patterns. In all of these examples, the content being shared is critical and can only be shared over video conference IF it is being shared in HD.
HD Infrastructure – a point-to-point HD solution will not provide an UltimateHD experience – the MCU and other components in the network also need to be able to handle HD traffic and work seamlessly with HD solutions. Recording HD calls will be very important in some applications like telemedicine, education and judicial arraignment – just to name a few. The ability to archive and show those recordings in HD is also important.
And lastly – it is critical that any vendor creating and selling HD video conferencing solutions has a full suite of HD services including assistance with network planning and design, deploying and integrating HD solutions, servicing and maintaining those solutions, and training the end users on the features and benefits of those solutions.
