Follow on Google News | Video Communication Goes Beyond ConferencingCombining voice, data and video in one live session shows promise for distance learning and other broadcast uses.
“Video communication combines voice, data, and video in a live, interactive session,” explained Victor von Schlegell, president of Appia Communications. “It might be a video conference, in which some or all of the participants can be seen and heard by each other. It could also be a broadcast, in which only the host needs to be seen and heard, such as in a distance learning session.” According to von Schlegell, this flexibility is critical to the wider adoption of video communication, especially for small and midsize companies and organizations. Broadcast uses open up boundless possibilities for schools, corporate trainers, public safety organizations, and others struggling with the high costs and time demands of travel. “Live video communication breaks down barriers of time and distance,” said von Schlegell, noting that broadcast sessions also use far less bandwidth than two-way conferencing, making remote attendance even easier.
