Vidyo First to Achieve 1440p/60fps Multiparty Video Conference

Groundbreaking VidyoConferencing to be Demonstrated at InfoComm

Vidyo Inc., the first company to deliver personal telepresence, announced today that it has set a new benchmark in videoconferencing with the first system to attain 1440p (decode) in an HD multiparty video conference via general purpose IP networks. Vidyo is able to deliver unprecedented video fidelity at 2560 x 1440p resolution (77% more pixels than 1080p) via a standard Internet connection due to its unique patented architecture and videorouter technology. Because Vidyo uses Intel architecture-based platforms, it is able to take advantage of Intel’s fastest, intelligent multi-core technology, achieving milestones in videoconferencing price and performance.

VidyoConferencing supporting 1440p requires at least 4Mbps and will be available in July of this year.

The Vidyo architecture offers the only multipoint videoconferencing that does not transcode, yet delivers rate matching without adding latency. This capability is key to mixing devices and networks that can support 1440p with ones that do not. With VidyoTechnology, 1440p can be enjoyed on some devices, while other smaller devices connected to networks such as the public Internet, as well as 3G, 4G, WiMAX and LTE, can participate in the call, still maintaining a low latency personal telepresence experience.

Whygos take - Great 1st to market. Even better that it easily mixes with lower bandwidth networks and devices. The only issue we see, is the ever growing remote worker market and do many of them have access to 2Meg let alone 4Meg?

Still, great breakthrough to the Vidyo team.
