HaiVision Incorporates RADVISION SIP for Videoconference System Interoperability
Video Conferencing vs. Telepresence
Telepresence picks up where video conferencing left off. Telepresence IS real time, full-high-definition, immersible sound and vision. Telepresence IS most importantly: the feeling of being “there” when you’re “here”. Telepresence is lifelike, video conferencing is not. Telepresence is that hi-line Mercedes AMG, video conferencing is a Ford Escort - Period.
Why Telepresence now?Video conferencing has been around a while now but has always lacked the feeling we spoke about above. Jumpy computer screens, broken audio and poor lighting add to the impersonal touches of video conferencing (ie slow motion camcorder on top of your computer monitor). Finally, technology, bandwidth, vision and sound have all converged on video conferencing to create the telepresence experience. It’s about time! Crystal clear surround sound and real-time full-high-definition visual effects enhance the feeling of being there – thus telepresence. That nervous twitch, roll of the eyes, sniffle, tap of the foot – things you see when you’re present and sitting across a conference room table – things you don’t see or feel from video conferencing, but do with telepresence.
Today, what “real” uses are there for Telepresence?
There is no short answer even possible here. We’ll name a few, more like we’ll put your imagination to work. Imagine a single specialist doctor in Canada treating patients in Haiti via telepresence. Robots in space doing the actual work while the telepresence operator dons his telepresence helmet and gloves at his workstation in Texas. Meeting your Russian company vice president while you’re in the executive telepresence room at the office in Denver. Just a few…
What are “real” savings of Telepresence?
Your imagination still working on the last answer? Don’t let up yet! What carbon footprint? Don’t need that airplane ticket to go check on your staff in Russia now do you? What lost life in the Iraqi war? Unmanned drones and soldiers via telepresence. Military and combat cost savings? Immeasurable. Less travel costs, airline frustration, fuel, lost time, carbon emissions, etc. Those are tangible, real savings to name just a very limited few.
You starting to see what telepresence can do that video conferencing can’t? We hope you see what we’re seeing! Telepresence – its time has arrived!

(PRWEB) June 13, 2007 -- HaiVision Systems Inc. (Montreal, Canada), the leader in high performance network video technology, today announces Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) inter-operability for its hai1000 product based on the RADVISION SIP Protocol Toolkit.

"With RADVISION's support, HaiVision is introducing the first product that can seamlessly bridge the gap between high performance telepresence systems and traditional conferencing endpoints," explains Francois Gariepy, HaiVision's president. "Now within a multipoint telepresence session executives can invite external participants to contribute regardless of their conferencing platform."

"We are excited about HaiVision's efforts in joining together network video with videoconferencing," states Sagi Subocki, Product Manager with RADVISION's Technology Business unit. "SIP is the advanced standard for interaction between communications systems at all levels."
