I just returned to my office after a whirlwind 3 days of all things streaming media at the 2009 Streaming Media East Conference here in New York – I spent a good deal of time with Polycom experimenting with the HDX 9000 (my new favorite VTC) – we will be bringing a unit in to our lab and will test with several clients dialing in direct and using a variety of architecture’s to navigate video across the globe. In essence, we will be a bridge for the Enterprise with streaming media, HD broadcast (up to satellite), a better rate card and friendlier staff than your old school bridge!
This sexy/flexi VTC unit works 720P with as little as 700Kbps – I can’t wait to get this service hooked up in the lab. We will be able dial in to all our clients, ironically as I poll them, it seems like everyone has a Polycom! Even most of the writers at Streaming Media Magazine – we were discussing how we may be able to use either VTC or Skype or both to do live interactive segments from home for the viewing pleasure of streamingmedia.com enthusiasts – our mux is an OC48, getting HD video in and out of our command center is not an issue .
Now, when I do all those corporate webcasts, we will have the option of dialing right in to our clients office or conference center where we can broadcast interactive presentations to the web or flip the codec around and push out to Azzurro and up to the bird if that’s what the client requires.
