VidyoPanorama: Personal Telepresence with Immersive Interactions http://www.telepresencecatalog.com/vidyopanorama-personal-telepresence-with-immersive-interactions/ http://www.telepresencecatalog.com/vidyopanorama-personal-telepresence-with-immersive-interactions/#comments Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:34:59 +0000 HSL http://www.telepresencecatalog.com/?p=2506

VidyoPanorama™ is the industry’s first affordable telepresence solution, delivering truly immersive video conferencing on up to 20 screens of 1080p at 60fps resolution at 10 percent the cost of current telepresence products.  It redefines the traditional telepresence paradigm, ushering in a new era of universal video communications that is also affordable.  Companies can now empower their employees to work from anywhere there is an Internet connection and promote a higher level of collaboration with high quality video conferencing using mobile devices (iPad, iPhone, Android), PCs (Win, Mac, Linux), room systems and immersive telepresence rooms.

For too long, customers have been constrained by excessively expensive, inflexible immersive telepresence solutions which provide experiences that are far from immersive. A typical deployment costs $1 million when factoring in the network and ongoing maintenance costs. Even after that expense, the experience is not truly immersive and often imperfect due to limited screen space, and high video latency and poor video quality when incorporating mobile and PC endpoints.

VidyoPanorama™ overcomes these limitations by leveraging Vidyo’s patented Adaptive Video Layering, which dynamically optimizes the video for each endpoint.

VidyoPanorama™ features:

  • Up to 1080p 60 fps on up to 20 displays costing as little as $4,500 per screen
  • Intuitive easy to use interface with single click to join conferences
  • HD video conferencing over the Internet or general data networks
  • Bandwidth efficiency delivering HD video conferencing starting at 500 kbps per screen
  • HD multipoint video conferencing  with mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android) and PCs (Win, Mac, Linux) without an MCU

With unprecedented flexibility, VidyoPanorama™ supports a wide range of use cases that traditional telepresence solutions cannot address.  The flexibility supports unique configurations that can be customized to fit any size room, layout or video enabled business processes.  VidyoPanorama™ is the ideal solution to address new markets and applications such as:

  • Operations management center for manufacturing or supply chain management
  • Command center for disaster recovery efforts or military applications
  • Patient monitoring in a doctor’s or nurse’s station at a hospital
  • Distance learning with multiple experts or lecturers for remote or rural communities
  • Virtual trading rooms for financial services to coordinate strategies across geographies in real time

EMC Managed MPLS Service Overview

EMC MPLS is a network-based solution that is enabled by Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). EMC MPLS service enables Customers to build an application aware, network-based Multiprotocol Label Switching virtual private network to link locations and efficiently transmit applications such as voice, ERP and video over a single connection. EMC MPLS enables us to offer a world class global network based MPLS VPN with options to add on the features that customers want, when they want them without having to migrate between different VPN services.

Supporting EMC’s US IP/MPLS network and partner network is its robust physical layer infrastructure. The EMC MPLS Network experiences less than 1% packet loss due to the careful management of capacity. Utilization is carefully monitored and capacity is augmented based on traffic utilization, not based on an overbooking ratio. All EMC MPLS nodes are protected by dual uninterruptible power sources, including both battery backup and emergency diesel generators. In addition a robust disaster recovery scheme is tested regularly to ensure that all components work in the event of
a power failure.

EMC Fast Ethernet

EMC has developed Fast Ethernet, a patent pending technology that enables a a next generation Internet that is better, more secure and faster. This new EMC exclusive technology delivers speeds up to 100 Mbps directly to the customer wherever they are located. Fast Ethernet allows and guarantees downloads 10 times faster than a 2Mbps dedicated terrestrial link. This service is ideal for software distribution, traffic balancing, video broadcast, back-up or business continuity, internet access and broadcasting applications.

Internet traffic consumes around more than 90 percent of the existing communication channels around the world and broadband is limited in geographical coverage and performance and is not consistent in quality even in some of the most developed countries like USA and Japan.

In emerging markets the situation is even worse where local Internet exchanges are not available and web pages or corporate data centers are hosted in different and remote continents making the WAN a limiting factor for the Internet performance. Every second the same content from the Internet is sent thousands or some time millions of times each time utilizing a communication channel and filling them of unnecessary redundant data in an inefficient way using inefficient legacy protocols and inefficient web page structures coming from decades ago, from the beginnings of the Internet.

The insecurity and management resources of Internet based links add another layer of complexity to the current use of the Internet in particular for multinationals operating in hundreds of countries making Internet based connections difficult to maintain and operate requiring hundreds or thousands of firewall systems that make the connections even more inefficient.

Multimedia, HD video, IPTV, the new adoption of 3D, the increasing usage of the Internet to access files, emails attachments and videos hosted on the cloud and the convergence of Voice, Video and Data services via the Internet does not stop and continue to drive more and more Internet traffic that requires a better Internet that can be accessed in an efficient, seamless, more predictable and secure way anywhere in the planet.

More and more Enterprise customers are seeing the great value of combining EMC Fast Ethernet with their existing EMC satellite links, EMC terrestrial Links or EMC’s 3rd party links since the bandwidth delivered by EMC Fast Ethernet is  unprecedented.

EMC SpeedNet – Zero Latency Platform


By combining its patented pending EMC SpeedNet browser and EMC Zero Latency infrastructure, EMC provides the fastest available internet experience to any place in the world.

Benefits of EMC SpeedNet:

  • Superior performance in all latency conditions from 50 Msec to 850 Msec
