AARNet Desktop Video Conference Project Group Report

August 10, 2010

I was reading Janine Lim’s “Videoconferencing Out on a Lim” blog this morning and she had posted a link to the AARNet Desktop Video Conference Project Group Report.

I surfed over to the report and was pleased (VERY) to find an extremely comprehensive evaluation of several desktop videoconferencing systems. Great work!

Grab the PDF here

Systems Evaluated (Grabbed from Janine’s Blog)

Mirial Softphone
Polycom PVX
Xmeeting 0.4P2
Emblaze-VCON’s vPoint HD
Kedacom PCMT
EVO
Vidyo
Tandberg Movi 2.0
Microsoft Office Communicator
Polycom Converged Management Application

This and That

As you know, Desktop Videoconferencing is a subject near and dear to my heart since we Beta tested the first DVC system way back in 1992 (CLI’s Cameo), and then the second, and then the third.

This report is something, that I think, is badly needed: It is objective, and it is free for everyone. AARNet rocks!
