Videoconferencing
Videoconferencing, although it has been a well-developed technology for quite some time now, is just now being realized as a powerful communication tool. There are many reasons why companies are installing videoconferencing on an increasing basis. Over the past few years, worldwide availability of ISDN and other broadband networks has increased, as has the possibility to communicate over IP. Secondly, installation costs have decreased and standards have improved system interoperability allowing more users to experience the systems benefits. Videoconferencing in its most basic form is the transmission of video and audio back and forth between two or more physically separate locations. This is accomplished through the use of cameras (to capture and send video from your local endpoint), video displays such as TV monitors (to display video received from remote endpoints), microphones (to capture and send audio from your local endpoint), and speakers (to play audio received from remote endpoints). (1) The brain of this whole operation, or the equipment that actually handles the processing of all this information is called the CODEC (Coder/DECoder). The CODEC takes analog signals from the various pieces of equipment
