Video teleconferencing is an invaluable part of telemedicine. Videoconferencing bridges, or multipoint conferencing units (MCUs), direct the video traffic to the endpoints of three or more participants. This toolkit looks at the technology and standards behind videoconferencing bridges, and is the precursor to our toolkit covering videoconferencing endpoints.
About This Technology – discusses how videoconferencing bridges fit into existing video conferencing infrastructure within the Technology Overview section, while the Deployment and Support section looks specifically at the components required to install the systems. A section on Resources provides some links to other information available on this topic, and a topic addressing Standards defines the alphabet soup surrounding video conferencing, providing clarity as to what the many acronyms mean.
Decision Process – looks at the products that are on the market and describes important elements of pricing to consider while making your decisions.
