Polycom backs H.264 High Profile in bid to cut TP bandwidth in half Paul Milligan, 10 March 2010
Polycom has put its support behind video compression technology, H.264 High Profile, which could reduce HD and SD videoconferencing bandwidth by half.
The H.264 High Profile codec claims to reduce the bandwidth requirements for HD telepresence by as much as 50 per cent. It promises full-motion, HD video quality starting at 512kbps, and full-motion DVD-quality SD video as low as 128 kbps. Lower bandwidth means lower running costs, and Polycom hopes the move will spur on a wider range of video deployments, creating a larger network of customers.
Polycom's support for the H.264 High Profile codec will play a role in its recently announced alliance with Juniper Networks, which is focused on improving the quality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of video networks.
It is also hoped that reduced bandwidth requirements will drive broader use of video within UC environments through efforts with Polycom's Open Collaboration Network partners such as Avaya, Microsoft, IBM and Siemens.
Support for H.264 High Profile on Polycom HDX room and telepresence systems in planned for April.
