UPDATE: May 2019 I guess they are gone. Hmmmm, even great ideas don’t make it sometimes. 😦 In the old days, I gave a ton of speeches at conferences on video conferencing technology. At the end of my talk, during the Q&A session, two people stood in the audience with wireless microphones that they would give to audience members who
Read moreI love cloud-based multipoint videoconferencing, but, you already know that. Here is a SCOOP from Blue Jeans Network that I just got permission to post. I was told that Blue Jeans has been interoperating Skype and Lync since 2011 (even though the press release says 2012). No surprise there. Blue Jeans has been pushing the state-of-the-art in cloud based videoconferencing
Read moreAccording to the salesman, FuzeBox licenses from Vidyo its SVC (which he called Scalable Video Codec not coding) but uses something different for audio.

After 20 years….my work is
Read moreJust wanted to post this video as an introduction to a new company, StarLeaf, started by some old friends (from Codian). I’ll be learning more in the coming weeks (I may be meeting with them in July) and will keep you posted. By the way, when the Codian came out, I was one of the first supporters, and LOVED it
Read moreThe world is changing. Rapidly. Bits are flying over the Internet at an unprecedented pace.
