Video Conferencing has come a long way. It has advanced in both the professional and consumer markets. This could lead many people to ask if there is still a need for dedicated Video Conference Systems. The short answer is yes, there definitely is, but please allow me to elaborate. At IAV the two most common uses of our video conference rooms are legal depositions and job interviews. These are both formal situations that require optimal video and audio quality. Consumer equipment does not match the performance of dedicated systems. Professional systems such as ours use large television monitors with a camera that can easily pan, tilt, and zoom. This means it can be adjusted and capture a large group or just one person. A large monitor also allows for a more immersive experience than a small computer screen.
Audio is just as important as video. Our systems have microphones attached through a long wire which allows them to be placed at an optimal position. They are also very sensitive and designed for use on a conference table. This means they will capture sound very well from one person or a large group. The microphones on computers and webcams do not match this because they are designed for one person sitting close to their computer.
Staring at a computer does not replicate the feeling of a real face-to-face meeting. Dedicated video conference systems are necessary because they do replicate that feeling. At IAV we can also find a video conference room for the far-site through our world-wide network of affiliates. Using our full services an attendee or group of people can come to our office, go into one of our comfortable video conference rooms, and be connected to someone across the country or even around the world. We handle all the details and test the connection so the meeting will be as natural, productive, and professional as possible.
