Field Videoconference With Low Bandwidth

Grant's Perspective on ... LibreStream releases low bandwidth field videoconferencing.

Librestream develops portable hand held videoconference systems that stream live video, audio and data over a wireless network (see the photo at the end of the post). Due to the nature of a portable system, bandwidth availability can be a challenge.

When the pipe is wide open, you can share HD video, audio and telestration with remote experts without a worry. But if you are out in the field using a cellular network the amount of available bandwidth depends on the number of people that are drawing on the same cell tower. It is this unreliable bandwidth environment that can cause the call to drop.

Librestream’s Onsight collaboration system now provides an ultra low bandwidth video option and automatically adjusts the call to fit the available pipe. Your call stays connected and your remote expert continues to hear and see uninterrupted video coming from the field. You can also take hi-res pictures, share them with the remote experts and draw on the images to pinpoint problem areas visually.



If you are interested in more information or a demonstration of the Onsight field videoconference system, contact your local Inland AV representative.
