What can a video conference do except meeting?

Video conferencing is a kind of multimedia communication technology that enables people in different places to realize "real-time, visual and interactive" through some transmission medium. It can distribute various information such as static/dynamic images, voice, text, pictures, etc. of the characters to the terminal devices of each user through various existing electrical communication transmission media, so that geographically dispersed users can copolymerize one. At the same time, through the exchange of information through various means such as graphics and sounds, the ability of both parties to understand the content is increased, making people feel like they are immersed in meetings in the same venue.

Focus on multimedia features

With the development of video technology, the needs of users are becoming more and more abundant, and the video conferencing system is required not only to provide video transmission, but also to provide a concept called a multimedia video conference (Rich Media Conference). It will encompass the state of all future conference industries: video, audio, graphics and data integration solutions, the entire environment is scalable and open; real-time and non-real-time communication applications can store meetings. Integrated media leads to the concept of integrated network, which can interwork with IP networks and lead to a broad concept of multimedia conferencing. The entire system includes video conferencing, audio conferencing, Web conferencing and ICQ instant messaging, as well as instant storage and broadcast of related information. . So, what is the multimedia function of video conferencing? The multimedia function of video conferencing refers to not only using sound and participant images as a medium of communication in remote meetings, but also better completing the participants through additional functions of video conferencing systems such as electronic whiteboard, dual video technology, and remote application sharing. Collaboration between. The video conferencing system will not only be used for meetings, but also become a multimedia collaboration platform.

CCID's survey of the current status of video conferencing shows that the user's selection criteria for video conferencing terminal systems have changed compared with the past. In addition to the high quality of audio and video, users also have requirements for product reliability, technical support and after-sales service, multimedia functions and security. Among them, the user puts forward higher requirements for the multimedia function of the video conference terminal system and the expandable upgrade of the device, and is no longer limited to video quality, stability, and reliability, and the demand for multimedia functions is continuously increasing. More users not only use the conference system for video and audio conferences, but also use the multimedia functions of video conferences as one of the important indicators of procurement.

Using the multimedia features of video conferencing, users can perform the following functions:

Sharing of data files. For example, in government applications, government offices, conferences, and public security inspection departments have a large amount of documents and materials that need to be discussed together. In a traditional video conference, a document projector is used to share documents between participants through images. However, when the document camera is used in the single stream mode, the document information and the video image cannot be simultaneously transmitted, which limits the communication of the user.

Remote training. Collaboration within the enterprise requires discussion of functions such as product design, engineering solutions, and statistical report analysis. Design drawings and business reports are the focus of the discussion. The importance of data transmission and sharing functions sometimes exceeds the video function.

The advantages of multimedia video communication are fully utilized in distance learning applications. The video communication solution for distance education supports courseware sharing, interactive question and answer, whiteboard discussion, course storage, on-demand playback and more.

In the application of telemedicine, the open platform multimedia video system can interface with medical devices to realize the sharing of various medical data.
