Videoconferencing is a form of communication that allows real-time interaction between people at two or more physical locations, it allows for two-way video and two-way audio interaction through the transfer of video and audio packets via the internet/corporate network. Most types of videoconferencing equipment allows users the ability to send and/or share data during the videoconference.

Face-to-face meetings are the quickest way to get anything accomplished. But, trying to get your team members, executives, or clients all in one room at the same time can be a scheduling nightmare, not to mention costly and time-consuming when you factor in traveling expenses.

That sounds pretty good and will sound even better when you consider that Video Conferencing can do all of that plus give you greater freedom, flexibility, work/life balance and powerful options for data sharing and collaboration.

Is your business Videoconference Ready? If not, it should be.
A new study forecasts that video conferencing will become the number one communications tool by 2016. – This is according to new survey on global video conferencing trends.
Video conferencing is the means of using computers to provide a video-link between two or more people. Instead of just talking to someone by telephone, people are able to see each other as well. Video conferencing also allows graphics to be uploaded, along with maps and videos. Multipoint videoconferencing allows three or more participants to sit in a virtual conference room and communicate as if they were sitting right next to each other. According to the BBC, the advantages of video conferencing are: (1) Meetings can take place without leaving the office. (2) Travel costs and the time taken to travel can be reduced significantly. (3) Meetings can be called instantly worldwide with little notice. (4) Delegates can still attend meetings even if they are physically unable to.
As of 2014, the survey respondents ranked video conferencing third (47 percent) after e-mail (89 percent) and voice/conference calls (64 percent). However, by 2016 the pattern changes.

Tons of #avselfies were taken at INFOCOMM14 in Las Vegas, Nevada and some of them are now featured in SCN Magazine. What a great compliment!.

Thanks again SCN Magazine!
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) —To ease isolation during extended hospitalizations, UC Davis Children’s Hospital offers secure videoconferencing for patients and families. While anecdotal accounts have suggested the Family-Link program enhances quality of life during long hospital stays, clinicians wondered if the technology also offered clinical benefits.
To answer that, a team led by UC Davis professor James Marcin studied 367 children who were hospitalized for at least four days. They found that access to Family-Link significantly reduced patient stress. The study was published in the journal Pediatrics.
As the popularity of applications like Skype and FaceTime have increased, so has the number of patients interested in using these applications to communicate with family and friends. UC Davis Children’s Hospital pioneered the Family-Link program, which provides patients with laptops, webcams and secure internet connections.
“We have many children who transfer from other hospitals and even other states,” said Nikki Yang, first author on the study. “Because they are too far away for family and friends to visit, they often ask for laptops so they can teleconference. That was the origin of Family-Link.”
While the program began as a service to improve long hospital stays, clinicians wanted to know if it also provided clinical benefits. Earlier studies had shown that in-person family visits can decrease stress and even improve recovery times. But could virtual visits have a similar effect?
“This study shows that we have another tool to help children during their hospital stays,” said Yang. “The improvement in stress scores shows that Family-Link is really helping many children and might possibly be improving outcomes.”

LED Displays
The amount of LED Displays that were being showcased at infocomm2014 were amazing. LED Displays have come a long way from providing small displays to meet your needs, from single displays to LED video walls.
4K switchers, 4K Displays & 4K Ready Devices
4K is not coming but is already here to stay. 4K was the talk of last year’s Infocomm2013. This year’s Infocomm2014 4K was everything and everywhere. My personal take on this subject is that some companies where ready and some were quiet just not there yet. I do give kudos to SVSi for their great work on 4K switching.
AVNation’s #AVSelfie
Great job with the #AVSelfie hashtag and #AVSelfie video which was shown at Crestron’s 4K Display setup. Kudos to AVNation and Philip “HiPhi” Cordell for the great video that was put together from the AVSelfie Hashtag.
Definitely lots to cover when it comes to Infocomm. I know I’m barely scratching the surface but these really were the “hot topics” I think at Infocomm2014 – Moving AV Forward.

ACT of Communication(TM) one of the nation’s premier witness preparation firms, once again clears a path for the legal industry into the digital age by deploying interactive platforms such as Skype, Google Hangout and other widely available video conferencing tools to turn the industry’s theories on the topic of witness preparation upside down. With nearly 11,000 legal community Twitter followers, more than most state bar associations, the firm is no stranger to leading the way towards digital innovation in an industry some might argue as slow to adapt.
Via video conferencing, the team at ACT of Communication(TM), is able to work one-on-one with any witness facing a trial or deposition-not by traditional means but by the innovative Star Witness Preparation System based on the teachings of theatre techniques. Invented, tested and successfully proven in over 1,000 cases by Katherine James, the techniques are unlike any taught in law schools or in the biggest of firms. As the system’s name implies, even the most problematic witnesses can be turned in to stars. In addition, ACT of Communication™ will also work closely with the attorney having to lead those same witnesses successfully through the process.
Although witness preparation via video conferencing is an ideal solution in a time crunch or in a small budget scenario, the service can be deployed in any trial or deposition-small or large.
