REPORT
 VIDEOCONFRENCING
INTRODUCTION:
Videoconferencing is the conduct of a videoconference (also known
as a videoconference or video teleconference ) by a set of
telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations
to communicate by simultaneous two-way video and audio
transmissions. It has also been called 'visual collaboration' and is a
type of groupware. Videoconferencing differs from videophone calls
in that it's designed to serve a conference or multiple locations
rather than individuals. It is an intermediate form of video
telephony, first deployed commercially in the United States by AT&T
during the early1970s as part of their development of Picture phone

technology.

Video conferencing is similar to the popular video phones where you

can call any one around the world and not only speak with them, but
see them on your computer or television screen during the
conversation. The difference is that video conferencing is intended to
work for larger conferences rather than serving the needs of individual
consumers, often using closed circuit television. While many businesses
have taken this technology under wing as a useful tool, there are
advantages and disadvantages of video conferencing which must be
considered before you decide if it will work for your meeting needs or
not.

COMPONENT FOR A VIDEO CONFRENCING:

VIDEO INPUT:
A video camera is a camera used for electronic motion picture
acquisition, initially developed by the television industry but now
common in other applications as well.

VIDEO OUTPUT:
Computer monitors were used for data processing while television
receivers were used for entertainment.

AUDIO INPUT:
A microphone is an acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that
converts sound into an electrical signal.

AUDIO OUTPUT:
Loudspeaker may refer to individual transducers (known as "drivers" or
to complete speaker systems consisting of an enclosure including one
or more drivers.

DATA TRANSFER:
A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects
computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer
laboratory, or office building.

BASIC FEATURES:
 Very straight forward approach.
 Calls can be made locally, nationally or across the world.

VIDEOCONFRENCING USES:
 Business
  Chatting with friends
 Friendly talk

SCALE OF VIDEO ADOPTION AND USAGE:

 Although enterprise adoption was continuing to grow the mid
2000s was a crucial time for video conferencing uses cases outside
of enterprises.
 Courts, law firms and military need for video conferencing came
into play more specifically.
 The biggest use cases driving video adoption at the time were
higher education distance learning and telehealth in healthcare.
 In 2003 major advancement in telehealth like the first trans
Atlantic “ telesurgery ” helped drive more awareness of the
impact of video technology in health.

VIDEOCONFERENCING TYPES:
POINT TO POINT:
 A videoconferencing that connect two location.
 Each sites sees and hear the other site at all time.

MULTI POINT:
 A video conferencing that connect to move than two sites through
the use of multi point control unit.
 This is bridge that interconnect calls from several sources.

ADVANTAGES OF VIDEO CONFERENCING:

 Can improve work quality.
 Improve communication.
  Reach anyone you need to reach immediately, no matter what
time of day it may be for anyone involved.
 Time differences between states and countries can be overlooked
without anyone traveling long distances for the conference.
 With more advanced services, a document can even be changed
and typed into directly from other computers connected into the
conference. Businesses that require active collaboration on one
project form can be greatly enhanced with this possibility.

DISADVANTAGES OF VIDEO CONFERENCING:

 There are some human ways of communicating that do not
translate very well over a distance, such as eye contact. When you
sit in the same room with someone and listen to a speech or
presentation you will make eye contact and they will judge who is
paying attention by looking around the room. Much of this
contact is not easily delivered through a webcam.
 For some, video conferencing can not replace the benefits of face-
to-face contact. When meeting with someone over video, it can
not shake hands, make proper eye contact or fully observe body
language. This can be a turn-off for people who are used to more
personal forms of communication.

CONCLUSION:
 Thus video conferencing is beneficial for both business and
corporations.
 It helps to shorten the gap between the employer and the
employees.
 Video conferencing has now become more popular with
development of the VoIP which makes use of the underlying
infrastructure of the net to make communication free.
 Video, voice and other data are transmitted from point to the
other in the form of packets. Video conferencing also needs a high
level of bandwidth as compared to a normal video connection.
 Video conferencing has made it possible for businesses and
organizations to connect with one another. It has led to a rise in a
number of video conferencing apps and software also.
 From reduced costs of travel, faster completion of projects to
improved communications among members of a team, video
conferencing can be a boon for any business or organization.
