High definition video conferencing is often considered by many as the next big thing in the conferencing arena. The technology is a step towards taking business communications to newer levels. Video conferencing through high definition systems provides a superior experience than SD video conferencing. These systems are easy to set up and use, are affordable and give the user a real life experience of communicating face to face with people across geographical boundaries. HD video conferencing gains over traditional systems in terms of higher resolution, clarity, crispiness and better projection of pictures and images. All these sum up to offer a high quality and effective video conferencing experience during a net meeting. Video conferencing in itself is a bundle of advantages for organizations, making their communications and operations simpler and cost effective. High definition allows critical communication to reach its destination in its original form without any distortions. It allows better understanding and help in maintaining focus. Presentations, meetings, demonstrations and other training events become all the more effective, understandable and explanatory. High quality images coupled with real life motions give the expression of a conference happening in an actual conference hall with all the attendees present physically.
In conclusion, high definition technology is broadening the scope of video conferencing. It acts as a valuable and useful communication mechanism for organizations and promises to change the entire scenario of how business communication is done.
Collaboration is the keyword in the success of any enterprise that works in terms of small groups of highly resourceful individuals. In case of small and medium enterprises collaboration is even more important as these enterprises generally have various resource constraints.
Small and medium enterprises generally require intra-group and inter- group collaborations. Such collaborations are necessarily woven around the concept of web conferencing that enables collaborations at micro, meso and macro levels and bridges spatial and temporal differences.
One of the latest state-of-the-art tools that enable organization wide web conferencing is TurboMeeting 500. It ensures secure collaboration and a reliable connectivity. TurboMeeting 500 supports a maximum capacity of 20 meeting rooms with up to 100 concurrent users. However the default capacity has been set at 5 meeting rooms and 20 concurrent users. View-only without download feature, chat and file transfer facility makes TurboMeeting-500 ideally suitable for web conferencing needs of small and medium size organizations.
It supports 10/100MB Ethernet networks and involves an installation
procedure that is a breeze. With 9”x6”x1.4” dimensions and 2.4 lbs weight it is
quite compact too.
With TurboMeeting-500, several teams at different locations can interact in instantaneous net meetings without any constraint on downloads or for that matter on any security issue and thereby produce a synergy that is the hallmark of resourceful collaboration.
As virtual meetings become a norm rather than a novelty, organizations are trying to visualize situations whereby management can form effective mechanisms for fruitful online conference. A close look at successful meeting has thrown light on the primary importance of the initiator in getting the semantics right for web meetings.
To begin with the initiator of the meeting should diligently communicate the purpose of meeting in the beginning and also his identity. Once the meeting commences the initiator must allow the others to give their opinions and should also encourage them to speak up. The task of noting down the key points in the meeting should be handled by someone other than the initiator of the net meeting. Full attention must be paid at
the time of the meeting, cell phones should be switched off and multitasking should be avoided. It is necessary that the initiator and participants speak clearly and to the point to avoid miscommunication.
The past shortcomings of web meetings, like cross platform issues, budget issues on tools and processes, etc have reduced. With on the availability of on premise appliances like Turbomeeting-200 removing the need of downloads, net meetings are becoming increasing more productive.
