Why spend money on a codec, when you already have one in your lap?
Video Conferencing that fully leverages the investment in your laptops.
The term “codec” has been the way to refer to the main component of a traditional hardware-based video conferencing solution that performs the audio, video and content mixing of a traditional video conferencing system. It is, in essence, the heart of a telepresence system where a video camera, microphones and content (typically from your laptop or a wireless device) is encoded to your participants on the “far-end” and, in turn, their participation is decoded to your displays and speakers in your conference room. But, those codecs are expensive and come with infrastructure requirements and ongoing fees that make it difficult to scale within most company’s budgets. But, if you already use laptops with USB C, chances are, you already have the power of a codec inside!
Since the advent of USB C and the performance that is built in to most new laptops, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be leveraging the investment and power that now comes standard. With the capabilities of USB C, you can finally have one cable connection to do it all! And for the price of a codec, you could afford new laptops for everyone!
Our solution brings all of the connectivity you’d expect in one USB C cable! One USB C cable carries all of the following data types at once so you only have to plug in one cable from the table!
One of the most expensive features of a conference room is the implementation of Auto Echo Cancellation or AEC. With pricey hardware codecs, AEC is already defined by the hardware inputs and outputs so the processing to cancel echo is automatic. But, if you need to exceed the number of microphone inputs on the codec, it requires an external processor (like the ones pictured) and a lot of complexity, set-up, programming, installation and of course more expense.
But why, especially in this day and age, is all of this complexity still necessary? It’s not.
We’ve partnered with the most innovative manufacturers to solve these problems. No Codec and no DSP required.
We use a Specialized Dante® or AVB appliance on its own audio network to handle AEC automagically. No complicated third-party control processor to program, no expert audio engineer to tune the room. No ongoing support calls or ongoing problems to fix. Need more coverage? Add another mic/speaker pod via standard network cable, auto-retune via it’s web page and done.
