The difference between conference room video terminal and desktop video terminal

In terms of product form, conference room video terminals are generally hardware-level special equipment. The product is highly integrated and has a variety of external interfaces. It can be directly connected to the conference room audio-visual system, such as mixer, splitter, Projectors, multimedia speakers, TV sets, etc., are precisely because they can be connected to the TV in the conference room. The video conference system was also called the video conference system or the conference TV system in the early days.

The so-called desktop video terminal means that the video conferencing system software is installed on a computer and the image output is generally only on the display.

In terms of the image effect output by the system, the conference room video terminal can reach the size of the full screen of the TV (resolution 352 * 288), while the image of the desktop terminal can only occupy a corner on the computer monitor (resolution); The conference room video terminal is generally 8-10 times that of the desktop video terminal. In terms of bandwidth requirements, if the conference room video terminal requires better video and audio effects, the bandwidth needs to reach the upper and lower rate of 512K, while the desktop video terminal The bandwidth of about 384K is enough; in terms of application functions, conference room video terminals generally emphasize conference functions, which have high requirements for video and audio effects, while desktop terminals generally emphasize data functions, such as sharing programs, electronic whiteboards, collaborative browsing, Electronic voting, etc.

There is no essential difference in the underlying technology between the two types of products, but due to the difference in performance requirements, the research and development technology requirements for conference room terminal products are higher. If you really need to ask the essential difference, then it should be the difference in customer needs is the essential question of choosing products.
