  4. The Four Levels of Videoconferencing • Web Conferencing • PC and small camera • Collaboration tools such as Skype, Elluminate, WebX.... • Fair quality • Standard H.323 Video Conferencing • Most common type today • Good quality • High-Definition H.323 Video Conferencing • Like HDTV • Excellent quality • Telepresence • HD, plus appearance of being in the same room *Note there are a few other systems that do not fit into these categories

  5. Videoconferencing Interoperability by Level • Web Conferencing • Very little interoperability, with each other or with industry standard. • A few now provide interoperability with standard H.323. • Skype/H.323 gateway being evaluated by Internet2. • Standard H.323 Videoconferencing • Complete interoperability. • High-definition Standard H.323 Videoconferencing • Complete Interoperability. • Telepresence • Few vendors claim interoperability. • Tandberg and Polycom can interoperate thru their MCUs. 5
