Dear users!
We would like to inform you that on Monday, December 27, 2010 our web site video-port.com will be unavailable from 12.00 GMT due to maintenance works. This is going to take no more than an hour. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Thank you for your attention and understanding.
The latest version of the cloud-based video conferencing service TrueConf Online 6.1.1 features high quality video streaming (HQ mode) which not only creates the effect of personal presence but allows to see even the minutest details and movements.
Due to the introduction of HQ (640×480) video transmission the overall video resolution in group conferences with four and more participants equals to 1280x960p, which is 33% higher than the HD (720p.) format allows.
Besides, the updated version enables to join a conference by simply calling its owner. The invitation to the conference now contains the theme of the conference in order to highlight the issues listed for current and future discussions.
Precise image in communication is an additional factor of personal involvement and influence, especially when the negotiating parties are located in different cities or countries. Sometimes it’s the weather conditions, busy traffic, geographical distances that prevent you from meeting your customer or your boss on time. In this case video conferencing is not a modern trend, but sheer necessity.
In the course of a press-conference which took place on November 18, 2010 the our company introduced an updated version of their corporate video conferencing product – TrueConf VCS 3.1.0. The new edition, according to its developers, is cardinally different from the previous one, featuring support for the HQ Mode and ability to record all the group conferences participants in the avi. format, enabled
PowerPoint Slide Show, improved echo cancellation for video calls under Windows XP, accelerated Desktop Sharing for high bitrates, and allowing for up to 100 simultaneous users to take part in a conference. After the presentation the our team demonstrated new capabilities of the updated version, and outlined new tendencies on the video conferencing market. Thus, among other things, the world video conferencing market was estimated at $3,5 bln. Software systems take up about 23% of the whole market, but the software segment grows faster than the video conferencing market on the whole. The same tendency can be traced in Europe, where improvement of communication channels and hardware capabilities, introduction of the personal multiuser and mobile video connection, SaaS-services all contribute to the software popularity.
Our company is pleased to announce the release of new version of software video conferencing server TrueConf VCS 3.0.7.
The following features were introduced:
- Official support for 64-bit Windows 7/Vista systems
- Desktop sharing bug fixes
- Minor sound quality improvements
- SBS/SBS Plus to TrueConf VCS update process improved
- Some “network errors” in UDP Multicast mode were fixed
- Network settings tab updated
- Client documentation updated
Our mission is to bring affordable video conferencing solutions to the small and medium business around the Globe. We are always glad to hear all your comments and suggestions.
Our company will implement support of VP8 video codec in all of its video conferencing products.
Having conducted numerous tests our specialists have come to the conclusion that VP8 perfectly tackles specific video conferencing tasks. This has especially well been manifested on high bit rates where VP8 has surpassed the best codecs of the H.264 standard.
The results of the tests have convinced us to introduce the VP8 codec into our products as a default video for high bandwidth Internet connections.
Nevertheless, the Cyclon™ codec (our own proprietary codec) will still be used on the channels with unreliable bandwidth, on low resolutions and in cases when there is a lack of CPU power on the client PCs, as it has been specifically designed and develops as a business-quality codec for usual and often low-speed channels.
The VP8 codec has been designed by the On2 Technologies which was bought by the Google Company in the beginning of 2010. After that Google has made public the codec’s sources and has suggested using it in the HTML5 standard for video playback.
This version features a significantly improved audio echo cancellation functionality. Our development team has made every effort to find and fix all the bottlenecks the previous version had. Audio fidelity approximation was increased by 0.5Hz which resulted in a huge audio quality improvement. This seemingly minor fix has dramatically improved the overall echo cancellation quality during video conferences.
Thanks to an enhanced automatic gain control (AGC) mechanism the problem of low or excessive microphone sensitivity won’t affect you anymore. Also a remote desktop sharing feature was updated to work better with multi monitor configurations and under Windows 7 operating system. All the improvements mentioned above will make your video conferencing experience more useful and comfortable. To update your current version of TrueConf application you can simply download and install the new one.
