Hackensack, NJ – JULY 23, 2012 – Vidyo, Inc., the world’s fastest-growing video conferencing company, today announced another revolutionary leap forward to make business-to-business video communications universally available.  The VidyoWay™ service is the first free interconnectivity service to support multi-vendor, business quality video conferencing for multi-party or point-to-point meetings.   Using a simple, self-service, executive-friendly interface, VidyoWay connects Cisco®, Polycom®, Lifesize®, other H.323 and SIP-based room systems, Microsoft® Lync® clients, mobile devices and telephones.

VidyoWay addresses the need for interconnectivity among legacy and UC business solutions without the high costs and complexities encountered by end users today.  The VidyoWay service creates a business community of video conferencing users, regardless of their end-points, through a free, cloud-based meeting place that extends the reach of video conferencing beyond specialized rooms or limitations of user location or technology compatibility.  By enabling the utilization of video conferencing beyond the business boundaries and making B2B video conferencing as accessible and easy to use as audio conferencing, VidyoWay will drive rapid market growth through a network effect created by increased usage that will complement and accelerate VidyoConferencing platform sales.  Companies interested in receiving an invitation for the service are requested to apply on Vidyo’s website.  To see a demonstration of VidyoWay click here.

“Widespread video conferencing adoption has, to date, been inhibited by low-quality user experiences, high costs and manual connection processes,” said Ofer Shapiro, CEO and co-founder at Vidyo. “The business process to achieve interconnectivity is very costly and cumbersome.  VidyoWay provides true free connectivity to legacy systems through a free conference room in the sky.”

“Multivendor interoperability is a real pain point in the video conferencing industry. Interconnecting video conferencing systems that businesses have deployed is certainly possible, but is often both complicated and expensive,” said Brian Riggs, research director at Current Analysis. “A service like VidyoWay should have considerable appeal among companies seeking a straightforward way to make video communication as commonplace as telephone calls, at no cost to the end user. Vidyo continues to dramatically change the economics of B2B video conferencing.”

VidyoWay also removes another interconnectivity barrier, the need for a Global Directory of video endpoints, by creating a community of users who can simply invite participants from their own address book to a secure virtual meeting place.  Using a “Click-to-Connect” capability, colleagues or customers can instantly join calls from legacy systems, UC devices or VidyoConferencing solutions.  For users who don’t have access to business video communications solutions, VidyoWay provides a free mobile client for tablets and smartphones.

“VidyoWay adds significant value to VidyoConferencing deployments by creating the ’network effect,’ expanding the universe of business-to-business contacts who can connect via a simple-to-use interconnectivity service that supports seamless interoperability with legacy H.323 and SIP, MS Lync and voice only endpoints,” said Shapiro. “At the same time, our resellers and service providers will continue to offer the disruptive full capabilities of our VidyoConferencing system from telepresence through desktop to mobile, while allowing their customers to also enjoy free connectivity to the VidyoWay network.”

The Vidyo Difference

The Vidyo communication and collaboration platform is software-based, highly flexible and can be easily customized for individual enterprise and vertical market video conferencing needs. The VidyoRouter™ is based on the company’s patented Adaptive Video Layering architecture and leverages H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC)-based technology. It eliminates the MCU and offers unprecedented error resiliency, low latency and rate matching enabling natural, affordable, high quality video to work over the Internet, LTE, 3G and 4G networks. The Vidyo platform allows users to quickly leverage the latest hardware innovations and new consumer devices, making it uniquely attractive to partners. Vidyo has been active driving H.264 SVC and SIP videoconferencing interoperability in various standards bodies since 2005.

Hackensack, NJ, 23 de julio de 2012. Vidyo, Inc., la empresa de videoconferencias con el crecimiento más rápido del mundo, ha anunciado hoy un nuevo salto revolucionario para ofrecer comunicaciones de vídeo entre empresas de forma universal. El servicio VidyoWay™ es el primer servicio de interconectividad gratuito que soporta videoconferencias multiproveedor con calidad empresarial para reuniones con múltiples asistentes o punto a punto.   Utilizando una interfaz de autoservicio sencilla y fácil de usar, VidyoWay conecta los sistemas de Cisco®, Polycom®, Lifesize® otros sistemas de sala basados en SIP y H.323 y clientes de Microsoft® Lync®, dispositivos móviles y teléfonos.

VidyoWay aborda la necesidad de interconectividad entre sistemas heredados y soluciones empresariales de comunicaciones unificadas sin los altos costes y las complejidades con las que se encuentran los usuarios finales hoy en día.  El servicio VidyoWay crea una comunidad de negocios de usuarios de videoconferencia, independientemente de los terminales que tengan, ofreciendo un lugar de encuentro gratuito basado en la Nube que extiende el alcance de la videoconferencia más allá de las salas especializadas o las limitaciones de ubicación del usuario, o de la compatibilidad de tecnologías.  Al permitir la utilización de la videoconferencia más allá de los límites de la empresa y hacer posible que la videoconferencia B2B sea tan accesible y fácil de usar como la conferencia de audio, VidyoWay impulsará un crecimiento rápido del mercado a través de un efecto de red, creado por el aumento del uso, que complementará y acelerará las ventas de la plataforma VidyoConferencing.  Las empresas interesadas en recibir una invitación para el servicio, pueden solicitarla en el sitio web de Vidyo. Para ver una demostración de VidyoWay haga clic aquí.

“La adopción generalizada de la videoconferencia ha sido inhibida, hasta la fecha, por las experiencias de baja calidad que han tenido los usuarios, los altos costes y los procesos de conexión manual”, indicó Ofer Shapiro, presidente y cofundador de Vidyo. “El proceso empresarial para lograr la interconectividad es muy costoso y engorroso. VidyoWay ofrece conectividad gratuita real a los sistemas heredados a través de una sala de conferencias gratuita en la Nube".

Por su parte, Brian Riggs, director de investigación de Current Analysis, ha señalado que "la interoperabilidad de múltiples proveedores es un verdadero punto débil en el sector de las videoconferencias. La interconexión de sistemas de videoconferencia que las empresas han implementado es posible, pero a menudo es un proceso complicado y caro. Un servicio como VidyoWay debe tener un atractivo considerable entre las empresas que buscan una forma sencilla de hacer que la comunicación de vídeo sea algo tan común como las llamadas telefónicas, sin coste alguno para el usuario final. Vidyo sigue cambiando espectacularmente la economía de la videoconferencia B2B".

VidyoWay también elimina otra barrera de interconectividad, la necesidad de un directorio global de terminales de vídeo, mediante la creación de una comunidad de usuarios que simplemente pueden invitar a los participantes de su propia libreta de direcciones a un lugar de encuentro virtual seguro. Utilizando la función de “Click-to-Connect", los colegas o clientes pueden incorporar al instante llamadas de sistemas heredados, dispositivos UC o soluciones de VidyoConferencing. Para los usuarios que no tienen acceso a soluciones empresariales de comunicaciones de vídeo, VidyoWay ofrece un cliente móvil gratuito para tablets y smartphones.

Shapiro ha indicado que: "VidyoWay añade un valor significativo a las instalaciones de VidyoConferencing mediante la creación del ‘efecto de red’, expandiendo el universo de los contactos entre empresas que se pueden conectar mediante un servicio de interconectividad, fácil de usar, que soporta perfectamente la interoperabilidad con sistemas heredados H.323 y SIP, con MS Lync y terminales solo para voz. Al mismo tiempo, nuestros distribuidores y proveedores de servicios seguirán ofreciendo las capacidades revolucionarias de nuestro sistema VidyoConferencing de telepresencia en ordenadores de sobremesa y portátiles, permitiendo que los clientes también disfruten de conectividad gratuita a la red VidyoWay".

La diferencia con Vidyo

La plataforma de colaboración y comunicación de Vidyo está basada en software, es altamente flexible y puede ser personalizada fácilmente para las necesidades de videoconferencia de las empresas individuales y los mercados verticales. VidyoRouter™ se basa en la arquitectura adaptativa de capas de vídeo patentada de la empresa y aprovecha la tecnología de compresión basada en la codificación escalable de vídeo (SVC) H.264. Elimina las unidades de control multipunto (MCU), ofrece una capacidad de recuperación de errores sin precedentes y la misma velocidad de transferencia de baja latencia, lo que permite ofrecer las experiencias de comunicación por vídeo más naturales, asequibles y de alta calidad en redes de Internet, LTE, 3G y 4G. La plataforma de Vidyo permite a los usuarios aprovechar las últimas innovaciones de hardware y los nuevos dispositivos de consumo, lo que la hace especialmente atractiva para los asociados. Vidyo ha jugado un papel activo impulsando la interoperabilidad de videoconferencias SIP y H.264 SVC en diferentes cuerpos de estandarización desde 2005.

Acerca de Vidyo, Inc.

Vidyo, Inc. ha sido pionero en el uso de la telepresencia personal, que permite ofrecer videoconferencias multipunto naturales en alta definición en tablets y smartphones, ordenadores PC y Mac, sistemas de salas, gateways que proporcionan interoperabilidad con terminales H.323 y SIP, soluciones de telepresencia y soluciones asequibles de emisión basadas en la Nube.

Hackensack, NJ – JULY 9, 2012 – Vidyo, Inc., the world’s fastest-growing video conferencing company, today demonstrated the ability to deliver five megapixel immersive, multipoint Vidyo conferences with data collaboration on the new MacBook® Pro from Apple®. With the ability to render a mix of 1080p and 720p video streams, and up to 5MP data share for an aggregate maximum of 5 megapixels, Vidyo’s software is able to deliver 2.5 times the pixel count of hardware telepresence systems on Apple’s latest device. Vidyo continues to power innovation in video conferencing at a velocity that cannot be matched by hardware-based solution providers, enabling Vidyo partners to automatically benefit from computer innovations and new form factors as they are brought to market, riding the cost and performance curves of the high-volume computer industry.

“While legacy telepresence platforms require redesign and fork-lift upgrades to take advantage of evolving technology, Vidyo’s software-based platform affords the flexibility to capitalize on new, off the shelf hardware, like the MacBook Pro with Retina™ Display, proving our ability to benefit from Moore’s Law,” said Vidyo co-founder and CEO, Ofer Shapiro.  “Customers have come to expect technology that keeps pace with the emergence of new form factors in an effective and affordable way; Vidyo is the only company that consistently delivers on end-user expectations.”

The demonstration on the new MacBook Pro highlights the extensibility of Vidyo’s architecture to incorporate collaboration based on the capability of each individual end point – all on the same Vidyo Infrastructure. Vidyo’s unmatched flexibility was similarly highlighted by the company’s latest collaboration with imaging solutions provider Barco, demonstrating the first 4K immersive video conferencing and collaboration system at InfoComm in June. Vidyo also recently announced HD quality, low-latency video conferencing for the new iPad with the first 3 Megapixel content share on the mobile form factor.

By delivering unmatched quality at disruptive price points using general purpose devices over ubiquitous networks like the Internet and wide area wireless, Vidyo’s platform has become the engine for change in many industries such as healthcare, education, manufacturing and government.

“Vidyo allows ASU students and faculty to participate and collaborate in high quality Vidyo conferences with researches in remote locations”, said Charles Kazilek, Assistant Dean of Technology, Media and Communications, with ASU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. “Our ability to share high resolution data via multiple devices, including laptop or desktop PCs or Macs, is critical for our Desert to Rainforest project in Panama and beyond. Vidyo’s platform support for the new MacBook Pro and its exceptional video quality will open the door even further and expand our visual collaboration, allowing students, faculty and researchers to continue to move beyond the classroom walls.”

Vidyo’s Adaptive Video Layering™ technology enables more capable endpoints like the new MacBook Pro to participate in multi-point conferences with lesser performing endpoints, such as traditional telepresence systems, with each receiving dynamically optimized video and audio experiences throughout the conference, based upon the unique and changing capabilities of that end point and its network connection.

Vidyo demonstrates a mix of 1080p and 720p HD streams and content share for an aggregate maximum of five megapixels on Apple’s new MacBook Pro.

Hackensack, NJ – June 20, 2012 — Vidyo, Inc., the first company to deliver personal telepresence, today announced a partnership with Mitel, a global provider of business communications and collaboration software and services. The companies will deliver a comprehensive integration of Vidyo’s leading HD, multipoint video communications solution for desktop, mobile, room communications with Mitel’s industry leading Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) offering.  The integrated solution will be demonstrated at Mitel’s Business Partner Conference, from June 19 – 21, in San Diego, at Mitel’s Booth # 412 and Vidyo’s Booth # 232.

“According to research conducted by VMware and Canalys, SMB adoption of virtualized solutions is expected to increase two-fold by 2014, positioning Mitel and Vidyo well in the market as we will deliver rich integrated applications on a common virtualization framework,” said Ashish Gupta, Vidyo’s CMO and SVP Corporate Development. “The virtualized Mitel-Vidyo offering will give SMBs unprecedented choice, delivering unmatched quality, reach and savings to customers looking to deploy on-demand unified communications and visual collaboration solutions on their desktops, mobile devices and conference rooms at a fraction of the cost of legacy video conferencing solutions.”

The SMB segment has been underserved by traditional video conferencing solutions that require proprietary hardware and are restricted by the MCU-based architecture.  These legacy solutions are typically too costly for SMB budgets and are challenging to deploy and maintain. Vidyo’s industry-leading architecture has disrupted the market to deliver a high quality, highly scalable solution that provides seamless interoperability with legacy solutions. The integrated solution from Mitel and Vidyo will provide SMB customers with a UC-aware personal telepresence solution that is both economically and technologically well-suited for this market’s needs.

“Delivering high-definition video conferencing that can provide an integrated collaboration experience with Mitel’s UC solution is a priority for our partners and customers looking to increase collaboration and efficiency,” said Stephen Beamish, Mitel Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “Vidyo delivers a virtualized video solution that meshes perfectly with our vision of an integrated UC platform and, when combined with Mitel UC, will provide our customers with the freedom to select high quality video applications without traditional limitations.”

Mitel is a leading provider of Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) software solutions. Mitel’s Freedom architecture provides the flexibility and simplicity organizations need to support today’s dynamic work environment. Through a single cloud-ready software stream, Mitel delivers a powerful suite of advanced communications and collaboration capabilities that provides freedom from walled garden architectures and enables organizations to implement best-of-breed solutions on any network; extends the “in-office” experience anywhere, on any device; and offers choice of commercial options to fit business needs.

This week, the companies are unveiling a technology demonstration which conveys the integration of these two platforms: the first 4K immersive video conferencing and collaboration system. The integrated solution offers unprecedented flexibility, multi-modal content display capabilities, with richmulti-pointHDvideo communications. The system enables flexible layouts on a single screen and displays up to 16 high quality streams totaling 8 mega pixels – including ultra-high resolution data sharing up to 3 megapixels . Barco’s complete 140” virtual canvas offers this unlimited layout flexibility at the highest resolution for participants, content or both on the same screen. The demonstration will take place at InfoComm 2012 in Las Vegas, June 13 – 16, Booth # N2721.

Barco, a global technology company, designs and develops enterprise visualization solutions that optimize productivity, encourage team collaboration and enhance business efficiency. “Barco prides itself in having the best display and presentation technologies and has always believed that networked video collaboration capabilities would add huge value to our platform,” said Hans Dekeyser, Barco’s Vice President Enterprise Visualization North America.

“The demonstration of the Vidyo and Barco platforms at InfoComm is a unique opportunity to see what is possible when ‘best of breed’ innovations come together,” said Amir Shaked, Vidyo’s SVP of Product Management.  “Currently the choice is between hugely expensive telepresence systems or lesser-quality, hard-to-use video conference rooms. We are setting a new standard in terms of telepresence quality, flexibility and price point that create new markets unaddressable by legacy technologies.

"La necesidad que tienen las organizaciones de TI de soportar entornos híbridos de videoconferencias con dispositivos móviles y de sobremesa dispares, sistemas de salas de múltiples proveedores y ubicaciones geográficas distintas va en aumento", indicó Ashish Gupta, CMO y vicepresidente senior de Desarrollo corporativo de Vidyo. "Extender la infraestructura VidyoConferencing para que soporte Microsoft Lync permitirá ofrecer conferencias multipunto e interoperabilidad a los usuarios de Lync a un coste más bajo que el de los sistemas heredados basados en hardware, con un ahorro de hasta el 70%".

Con el creciente número de gente que incorpora la comunicación visual a sus experiencias laborales y personales cotidianas, las videoconferencias de calidad en alta definición se están convirtiendo en la norma para muchas personas. Además de ofrecer experiencias en alta definición en una amplia gama de dispositivos, desde smartphones y tablets a salas de telepresencia inmersiva, la interoperabilidad de Vidyo con Lync permitirá a las organizaciones incorporar a los usuarios a una conferencia de Vidyo desde cualquier dispositivo.

"En términos de videoconferencia, los distintos puestos de trabajo tienen distintas necesidades" indicó Zeus Kerravala, fundador y director, ZK Research. "Vidyo cumple las demandas de aquellos empleados que desean realizar conferencias multipunto desde redes y terminales heterogéneos. La incorporación de interoperabilidad de Vidyo con Microsoft Lync proporciona al CIO de una empresa la opción de ofrecer la solución de Vidyo a aquellos que necesitan participar en conferencias multipunto de alta definición al mismo tiempo que proporciona la capacidad de conectar fácilmente con otros usuarios que utilizan Lync o soluciones de comunicaciones de vídeo tradicionales".

Interoperabilidad ampliada con Microsoft Lync

Las mejoras que se han hecho en VidyoGateway™ para que proporcione interoperabilidad con Microsoft Lync complementan los plug-ins que Vidyo ofrece en la actualidad para Microsoft Lync y Microsoft Outlook, y da a los usuarios flexibilidad para utilizar la solución de conferencia que mejor se adapte a sus reuniones, con las ventajas de:

• Presencia continua en la ventana de Lync que permite una disposición seleccionada/definida por el usuario
• Conectividad entre las empresas que utilizan Vidyo, y presencia y federación de Lync
• Facilidad de marcación para incorporarse a videoconferencias multipunto, multidispositivos y multiproveedores
• Acceso a conferencias de Vidyo desde cualquier parte utilizando dispositivos "genéricos"
• Coste bajo y gran escala para interoperabilidad en entornos híbridos
