Best Videoconference System: ERIS Leads Videoconferencing Systems Pack
Can we talk? Videoconferencing is today's most realistic form of communicationusing network infrastructures. It can save corporations money by reducingtravel costs for meetings, and it can facilitate efficient team projects.
Videoconferencing technology has made great advances in a relatively shorttime, despite the high-bandwidth hurdles and audio/video synchronizationpitfalls it has traditionally had to address for practical use. Of the emergingvendors in this rapid race to bring us "real-life" interaction,RSI Systems' ERIS Visual Communication System is the hottest video conferenceproduct
around.
While many systems adhere to the latest standards that let them transferaudio and video between products from different vendors, many have the same,well, "standard" performance. Of all of the leading products we'vetested, ERIS was the one that mastered fine resolution, impressive framerates and acceptable audio/video coupling. Despite the limitation of a singleBRI ISDN interface--eliminating the possibility of inverse multiplexingmultiple lines for higher bandwidth and smoother video--ERIS' performancewith the 128 Kbps that a single BRI provides lets it firmly hold its own,not only with desktop systems, but with room-based videoconference systemsas well.
