Is this the year of video? Or is this the year that video stops being a separate communications technology and just appears as another method of communicating within the structure of other business or consumer applications? Video conferencing is popping up in enterprises across the world. Business-to-business video services are providing connectivity between vendors, enterprises, partners and customers. Streaming video is being deployed for training, compliance, entertainment and large-scale meetings. Real-time video, streaming video and static document sharing are being combined in new ways to improve collaboration. Soon we will be able to meet with anyone, anywhere, anytime.
But these technologies demand much from you and your network, and their voracious bandwidth needs threaten to swamp other applications. The Video track will help you make sense of the myriad video solution options, and will explain how to successfully incorporate video transport into your enterprise network while continuing to accommodate the needs of all your applications.

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Location: Room 1E09 H.264 AVC, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10, has established itself as the compression algorithm of choice for video. While licensing continues to be an issue, it is meeting most of the needs of industry and has a commanding lead over other compression technologies. Now a new extension, scalable video coding, has generated significant attention because it allows for significantly better video resolution while using the Internet as the transport network. This presentation will explain how SVC works and speculate on how much it may change video delivery.

2:00 PM – 3:00 PM  Location: Room 1E09 Your enterprise probably has users, customers and partners on Skype, and many may use GoogleVoice as well. If your enterprise IP communications platform could talk to these public services, you could greatly expand your reach, using voice, video or other collaboration modes, without ever touching the legacy PSTN. Skype and Google both have the global scale and branding to position themselves at the center of a new public network—but the matter is complicated by Skype’s acquisition by Microsoft, and Google’s potential to compete with the vendors in this space. This session will help you understand the mechanisms available today to use cloud-based providers like Skype and Google to reach your stakeholders with all-IP communications; it will also show you the obstacles to this goal. You’ll come away with a grasp of the state of the art today, and what you can expect tomorrow. Moderator - Eric Krapf, Editor, No Jitter Panelist - Kevin Kieller, Principal, enableUC  Kevin Kieller is a partner with enableUC, a company that helps measure, monitor and improve Unified Communications and collaboration usage and adoption.
