VidyoRouter™
At the heart of the VidyoConferencing™ system is the VidyoRouter appliance, a new paradigm for multiparty conferencing, that eliminates the need for the Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) required in traditional video conferencing systems. The VidyoRouter is the keystone in this major architectural change for video conferencing.
VidyoConferencing was designed for general purpose IP networks. Encoding and decoding occurs only at the endpoints — leaving just video packet routing to be accomplished within the network itself. Vidyo’s intelligent VidyoRouter ensures that this packet-switching is handled with optimal efficiency — without either degrading the quality of the video or adding noticeable latency, yet it delivers rate matched and resolution matched streams to each endpoint while providing industry leading network error resiliency – key to leveraging the public Internet and wireless networks to make visual communication work wherever you do.
The VidyoRouter significantly improves network utilization efficiency by sending along only as many packets as an endpoint is capable of handling, depending on limitations in bandwidth, processing power and screen resolution. And because the amount of processing power and bandwidth available is dynamic, the VidyoRouter constantly tests and recalibrates what it should be sending to each endpoint, ensuring that each endpoint is provided with the highest quality video it’s capable of receiving — even as local conditions change from one moment to the next.
Each VidyoRouter supports up to 100 HD 1080p VidyoLines. A Vidyo- Line™ is a shared resource that enables any VidyoDesktop user to participate in a point to point or multipoint Vidyo conference.
