VidyoTechnology™ offers unprecedented error resiliency, low latency and rate matching to enable natural, high quality video to work over the Internet, LTE, 3G and 4G networks. Because Vidyo’s solution is software-based, it can easily be expanded, upgraded, and customized for customers’ individual Enterprise and vertical market video conferencing needs. Vidyo’s product line spans a full range of potential applications, from the VidyoDesktop™ with personal telepresence capabilities on a PC or a Mac to the VidyoRoom™ that encodes and decodes HD-quality video at up to 60 frames per second. Vidyo platform partners include HP, Ricoh, Google, Hitachi, and Teliris.

BCS Global’s new Vidyo-powered services will be offered to customers as part of its Virtual Presence Desktop offering, and will be available to customers and partners globally in April 2011.
