Video Conferencing Flights What is Videoconferencing? Videoconferencing is the live connection of two or more people using a combination of video, audio and data for the purpose of meetings. During a videoconference, parties at each site in the meeting can speak to each other and see each other in real time. Data presentations can also be used during such meetings. What can it be used for? There are wide varieties of applications for video conferencing. The most common uses include: • Replacing existing meetings where travel is required, with more regular meetings via videoconference • Training via videoconference • Presentation of concepts/idea’s • Interviews • Collaborative development of documents over distance Why Videoconferencing? Videoconferencing reduces the cost of travelling to meetings, increases the regularity at which meetings can occur, and reduces the amount of time spent travelling between offices. For example for one person to fly from Melbourne to Perth it would cost approximately $1,210. To have the meeting via video the cost of the meeting would be $98. This is just the cost of travelling for one person what if in that meeting you needed to have 4 people attend? Imagine the cost then!!! With the implementation of video conferencing in-person visits were infrequent and required scheduling a long time in advance, video meetings can bring sites together in a matter of minutes for high quality face-to-face communications Video conferencing is not only used as a replacement for travel and to save time it also has benefits and value adds over more conventional communication devices such as a email, fax and the telephone. With the use of video conferencing you are able to see the response from remote staff instantaneously therefore knowing whether they got an understanding of the situation. This leads to a better understanding the issues at hand. What is Multipoint Conferencing? A multipoint videoconference is a videoconference involving more than two sites. There are two modes, or formats, for multipoint videoconferences.     Continuous Presence (CP)      Voice Activated (VA)  ISDN Cost? The cost of a videoconference call over ISDN is determined by: a) The duration of the call b) The quality of the call (i.e. 128K , 256K, 384K or 512K ) c) Distance between calling parties Users should select a call quality that is appropriate for the type of meeting being held. Higher call qualities will allow for higher quality audio and video for larger groups of staff in the meeting. Why fly when you can Video conference?
