Hardware video conferencing system can also support H.264, H.323 and SIP and other system standards, can adapt to the private line or Ethernet network transmission conditions.
Software advantages and disadvantages
1. Advantages:
Software video is based on the PC architecture of the video communication, mainly relying on the CPU to deal with the video, audio coding and decoding work, and its most important feature is that it is inexpensive, and openness is good, and the software integration is convenient. However, software video in the stability, reliability has to be improved, the video quality generally can not exceed the hardware video system, it is the current market is mainly concentrated in the individual and enterprise.
Software video conferencing system is an important application of software video, mainly using the server + PC architecture. In the center point deployment of MCU servers, multi-picture processing servers and streaming media servers; in the ordinary desktop PC configured with USB cameras, headsets and conference terminal software; in the conference room configuration of high-performance PCs, video capture cards, conference cameras and conference terminal software. When holding a video conference, the use of Windows-based interface for the meeting of the various settings and management.
1. easy to deploy
2. can be integrated with data conferencing
3. low cost
2. software video conferencing system disadvantages:
security and stability depends on the computer
software video based on the Windows operating platform and the PC architecture, is more susceptible to attacks by viruses and hackers, and is not suitable for long time running. Especially software-based conference room terminals, using a large number of plug-in cards and peripheral equipment, low integration, more points of failure, troubleshooting is also more difficult.
Visual and audio effects in general
Desktop software terminals using the USB camera can only provide actual lower than the hardware 720P quality of the video quality, frame rate is low, color reproduction is not good. Although the conference room software terminal can be configured with a dedicated conference camera, its video delay and picture quality hardware compared to a certain gap after video capture and software encoding and other processing.
