Basic Videoconferencing Equipment
Videoconferencing allows two points to connect and conduct a live conversation with other people located at different sites. Visual information can be exchanged in a real-time format. This is important for those that are unable to travel because of time or cost restraints, but still need instant and in-person communication.
Videoconferencing basics include the vital parts of videoconference equipment, set-up and service providers as well as network capacity to connect to the other videoconferencing sites. While videoconferencing covers the audio and visual transmission of people's conversations, it also allows participants to share documents, computer-displayed information and whiteboards as well as allowing participants to manipulate a common document or computer application. Team members can be updated instantly about the progress or status of a particular project, decide how to move ahead and stay ahead of competition.
Videoconferencing basics include an analog or digital telephone network, LAN or Internet; video input and output, webcam, video cam and PC monitor, TV or projector; audio input and output, microphones and speakers connected to the display device or the telephone.
