When you call for a conference, everyone is expected to
arrive at a designed time and place to discuss an issue and resolve it. But if
the people you need to speak with are in different states or countries and
those cost of getting them to come is quite expensive, you have to try
something else like video conferencing.
But first, what is video conferencing? Basically, this is a
system that allows you to conduct meetings or trainings in different places
simultaneously. It incorporates audio, video so you are able to talk and send
data which takes away the barrier of distance that separates these individuals.
To make video conferencing possible, you need to buy the
equipment. You also have to choose the method of transmission because the one
you might be using may not be compatible with the other person.
These include the Codec unit, the camera, microphone, video
display, network connection, stands and equipment charts if these will be
mobile or stationary, NT-1 and chicken feet.
Most of these are self-explanatory so we will just focus on
the Codec, NT-1 and chicken feet.
The Codec is considered to be the “brain and heart” of the
video conference system. This is what compresses everything so you can send and
receive messages on real time which can be viewed on the display device.
The NT-1 on the other hand is an electronic device otherwise
called an terminal adapter that converts ISDN to your IP format. There is also
the NT-3 version so instead of using one line, you will be able to use three.
