Video Conferencing Equipment and Systems

High-quality video conferencing can be achieved at a reasonable cost thanks to modern compressed video systems. The set up of a video conferencing system involves audiovisual equipment such as a monitor, a camera, a microphone, and a speaker. In addition a means of transmission such as a phone line is also needed.

Video conferencing equipment uses a dedicated connection to ensure smooth transmission of sound and picture as opposed to internet connections employed by webcam users which have to share their connection bandwidth with other internet data.

Both ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network or the average phone line) and IP (Internet Protocol or internet lines) can be used to transmit video conferencing calls. Both are an economical solution for achieving the highest quality in video conferencing.
