Telepresence Video Conference Meaning and Application Advantages

For the telepresence videoconferencing system, someone once described it as saying that if the video information communication is a highway, the traditional videoconferencing system is Alto for most users, and the telepresence videoconferencing system is Audi. Since its inception, TelePresence has made it worthwhile for many users to stay away from its expensive value. The excellent display effect brings people only spiritual admiration. Without the desire for practical application, the industry has always been in an embarrassing position.

The meaning and application advantages of telepresence videoconferencing 1. What is telepresence?

From a technical perspective, the so-called telepresence technology integrates a series of technological innovations such as IP network communications, ultra high-definition video codec, spatial IP voice, architectural acoustics, space lighting, and ergonomics. The real transformation with space creates a real face-to-face experience across time and space for people who are far away.

In terms of market applications, for ordinary users, TelePresence is a new thing and a new application trend. For many people in the industry, TelePresence is an extension of videoconferencing. From their professional perspective, telepresence technology is a new breakthrough in the technology of videoconferencing industry. It represents the future development trend of videoconferencing. Currently, companies involved in telepresence videoconferencing include Cisco, HP, TANDBERG, Polycom, and Huawei.

Second, the advantages of telepresence video conferencing system Compared to the traditional video conferencing system, the outstanding advantage of TelePresence is the real face-to-face communication. Although traditional videoconferencing overcomes the spatial differences and achieves long-distance communication, it always gives people the feeling of “remote communication” and does not allow users to completely ignore the spatial distance. The telepresence video conferencing system has completely realized the real-life transmission of pictures, allowing participants to be on the ground and achieving a true sense of zero distance.

Generally speaking, a complete telepresence system includes a suitable conference room, high-bandwidth network access to the power supply, separate wall, conference digital audio processor, high-definition camera, plasma display, lighting, microphone, and speakers. Equipment composition. In the conference room where the telepresence system is installed, although the participants beside them are thousands of miles away, their images are displayed on the display screen of the conference room in a live-size format, and the ultra-high-definition image effects are added. With the perfect combination of space-based audio system and the environment, even participants who are far away on the horizon will give people a feeling of being in front of them.

People have always upheld the concept of seeing and believing, and the true communication experience brought about by the telepresence system enabled users to effectively communicate with customers, partners and colleagues, and build trust, understanding and good relationships. At the same time, as a network communication tool, because telepresence eliminates the virtuality of the network from the feeling, so that the user is more free to use, the efficiency of the conference has been greatly improved. As one of the important means for companies to save travel expenses, video conferencing has become the primary factor affecting the use of some users. The effective delivery of telepresence technology will enable people to make more active use of video communications.

The current situation of the development of telepresence videoconferencing systems predicts that by 2011, the telepresence conference market will reach 360 million U.S. dollars, and the market has great potential. According to relevant data, the average monthly video conference usage time is 15 hours. Compared with the expensive construction cost of the video conference system, the input and output are obviously disproportionate. This is also the main reason why many companies refuse to use video conferencing. The average monthly use time of telepresence is now 60 to 130 hours, which is significantly higher than the frequency of traditional video conferencing. This explains the practical value of telepresence videoconferencing to a large extent.

As far as the current market application is concerned, although TelePresence has outstanding technical advantages and higher cost-effectiveness, its expensive price is still its fatal flaw. For the majority of users, especially domestic users, due to high input costs, traditional video conferencing is still in its infancy, and the application market is still concentrated in large enterprises and government departments. The SME market remains to be developed. The cost of telepresence video conferencing is several times that of traditional videoconferencing, making many users only far-sighted, and their application and promotion are even more difficult. Therefore, telepresence videoconferencing has only been developing in a low-key manner for a long time, and it has yet to form a popular trend.

Judging from the development of telepresence videoconferencing, regional companies joining telepresence were once only games of global manufacturers and telecom operators. In the past, only large-scale equipment manufacturers such as Cisco, Tandberg, and Polycom were able to provide telepresence services. As well as global telecom operators such as AT&T, BT and VerizonBusiness, it is precisely because of this that telepresence technology has been concentrated in the North American market. However, with the launch of several new telepresence solutions by Asian companies such as CPCNet, Huawei, and Singapore Telecom in Hong Kong, China, the situation has changed, and telepresence technology has a new supply base for promotion in the Far East market.

Emerging companies are rushing to the beach and users have more choices, resulting in cracks in the sturdy price fortress of telepresence. In particular, domestic companies, such as Huawei, have shaken the market at a low price, bringing about the universal application of telepresence. New dawn.

The Future Telepresence Video Conference Application - Abandoning the Aristocratic Altar Recently, with the spread of Cisco's push for consumer telepresence videoconferencing systems, telepresence has become the focus of attention. In fact, the increasingly mature network environment, people's requirements for video conferencing have gone from being "visible" to being "visible". Visual comfort has become the primary factor for users to consider. As far as the application is concerned, the basic needs of telepresence have been formed. This makes the telepresence popular and at the same time has the basic guarantee of technology and market demand, and only a single blow of breaking the price barriers. For the future of telepresence video conferencing, people in the industry believe that the popularity of telepresence is a big trend and is the mainstream mode of videoconferencing in the future.

With the popularization and promotion of telepresence applications, the paradigm of the telepresence market will undergo major changes. First of all, the current telepresence product form and operation mode of the market are relatively single, and the user's selectivity is not great. With the popularization of applications, the personalized demands of users will be increasingly introduced, and the market model oriented to user-specific needs will gradually come into being. Telepresence videoconferencing will no longer be the “idea” of high-seat platform.

Furthermore, the widening of the scope of telepresence videoconferencing applications, the industry shifted to a product and service convergence model through a pure product model. Telepresence video conferencing is noble, although the price will be greatly reduced as the market spreads, but for some companies, it will still be a huge expenditure, so manufacturers in order to fully grasp the market, telepresence The video conference rental model will be released. Traditional vendors will no longer be simple product providers, but will become service providers based on products.

In addition, the home consumer market has always been a fertile ground for many manufacturers to develop, and the realization of the popularization and application of the family can realize the popularity of Telepresence from the true meaning. According to industry sources, families in the field of future telepresence applications will be an important part. The true communication experience of telepresence technology enables people to truly realize the sense of zero-distance in the “End of the World”. With the accelerating pace of life, the reunion and exchange of family members has become the “Shangri-La” of many people, and the true communication experience of Telepresence just fills in people’s communication deficiencies and will become the new darling of people’s communication.

Conclusion:

At present, telepresence technology is at its infancy in both the domestic and foreign giants at the application level. The potential for gestation in the Chinese market in the future is immeasurable. For foreign markets, although this technologically advanced advantage exists, the use of cost and the details of product usage habits will to a large extent hinder their occupation of the Chinese market. For domestic companies, although there are advantages of product localization and low prices, there are obvious weaknesses in the industry chain as a whole. Therefore, the future China telepresence videoconferencing market will be a large market with both opportunities and challenges.
