Voxeet Wants to Disrupt Audio Conference Calling

Voxeet Wants to Disrupt Audio Conference Calling

“You’re straining to follow the conversation, background noise interrupts, and if two people talk at the same time, the sound cuts out,” complains Voxeet founder Stephane Giraudie as he describes the experience of conference calls. “It can be hard to tell who’s speaking, and that lack of context can make it hard to follow the conversation.”

Giraudie is from France and he found the conference calls between his colleagues in USA and Europe very frustrating. “The quality and functionality of conference calls aren’t much different than they were 10 years ago; we’re planning on changing that.”

Voxeet identified the three most common problems with conference calls: bad sound quality, no easy way to identify speakers, and no mobility. Voxeet wants to radically transform what it calls “the infuriating space of conference calling” by solving those problems. Read more...

Whygo and TPEX Will Partner

Whygo and TPEX Will Partner

Whygo, online distributor of public video conferencing and telepresence facilities, and Telepresence Exchange International (TPEX), a Telepresence Exchange, announce a strategic partnership to help end users and channel partners schedule any telepresence system on any network.

Some telepresence equipment worth $100,000’s on certain networks will not connect to other equipment on other networks. The reasons vary but the key ones are equipment incompatibility (becoming less of an issue every week) and mainly network providers not interconnecting their networks. (For example, says Whygo, Cisco Telepresence users on the AT&T network cannot connect their Cisco Telepresence systems to any of the 42 public TelePresence rooms on the TATA network.)

Through Whygo and the TPEX exchange, users on any network using any telepresence equipment can connect. What’s more, we can connect at their full High Definition and fully immersive 3 screen layout, if they have it. Read more...

Talk & Vision Extends Cloud Offering

Talk & Vision expands its cloud strategy by a strategic partnership with Videxio, an international provider of cloud based videoconferencing services.

ClickShare: Barco’s New Wireless Conferencing

Barco calls it “game-changing meeting room technology.”

ClickShare is Barco’s wireless presentation and collaboration system which makes connecting to the meeting room’s video system a matter of clicking a button.

We told you this was coming: The Most Interesting Product You Didn’t See at ISE

And now Barco announces ClickShare publicly.

A standard ClickShare set-up consists of four USB devices (the ‘ClickShare Buttons’), a storage basket (the ‘ClickShare Tray’) for neatly storing the Buttons when they’re not in use and a Base Unit. The Base Unit has a fixed connection to the meeting room’s AV system and handles all processing.

Users who want to put their presentation on the large meeting room screen simply connect a Button to their PC or MAC, click it … and immediately their desktop is transferred wirelessly to the large visualization system. ClickShare doesn’t interfere with the laptop’s resolution, and it automatically displays the screen content optimally. ClickShare also allows you to show video clips with frame rates of up to 20 fps.
