Audio Visual Insights for Web-Conferencing and Live Streaming

As work spaces and the way we work is ever changing, we need audio-visual technologies to be implemented with ease. Currently, there are roughly 7 million conference rooms in the United States, but many of us are using co-working spaces or home offices. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 23 percent of the U.S. workforce works remotely at least part of the time. These changes require products and solutions to accommodate both people and organizations.

I have been waiting to write about this use case for what seems like an eternity. Our Kickstarter has finally launched, production is underway and the product is finallyavailable for pre-order! So I am happy to announce we can now make any USB 2.0 webcam wireless! This has been one of our most popular requests since we released the HuddleCamHD 3X back in 2014 and the demand for easy to install USB based video conferencing equipment has been growing tremendously.

HuddleCamHD just launched the world's first Wireless USB 2.0 extension system on Kickstarter today! When it comes to professional meeting spaces is it really OK to have USB cables draped over the floor? How many conference rooms have you been in with cables connecting the computer, to the USB camera and speakerphone all draped over the floor? Well, today we are announcing the industry's first ever wireless USB extension system built for video conferencing!

Wireless USB 2.0 Video Extension Systems

Wireless USB video extensions  are coming sooner than you think and it's time to start getting excited about it! HuddleCamHD has just released their very first teaser video for the USB2Air which looks like a problem solver for the modern day web video conferencing user! The USB2Air will be HuddleCamHD's latest product built for wireless 1080p video transmission over USB 2.0! HuddleCamHD has also released the following timeline for production on the new wireless USB transmission system below:

Hello Technology Pro's,

For those of you who did not follow the HuddleCam Air release schedule which officially ended at Enterprise Connect 2015 in Orlando, you may be interested in learning a little bit more about the world's first pan tilt zoom wireless USB conference camera. The HuddleCam Air uses the latest "Super Speed" 5GHz wireless frequencies to achieve near-zero latency video to any computer for web conferencing over a USB 3.0 connection. Matthew Davis lead engineer states "The latest Super Speed wireless standards paried with the super speed USB 3.0 computer connections have allowed us to create the worlds first latency free USB conference camera". 

This new conference cameras was all the rave at Enterprise Connect 2015 but many real world applications have already started. Davis continues "The initial build was meant to save time during installation. We are eliminating the troublesome USB 3.0 cable that drapes over the floor in boardrooms everywhere.... while this remains the primary use it's interesting to see new case studies... my personal favorite is the car manufacturing lines using this technology to wirelessly view the production line throughout every stage down the line." We have below the HuddleCam Air release webinar and the slidedeck for anyone who wants to dig further into this technology.

From the early telephonoscope concept in 1879, which transmitted “light,” or images, accompanied by sound, to Germany’s first commercially available “videotelephony” in the late 1930s, people recognized the value in accompanying audio with images or video. 

By the 1970’s, AT&T’s Picturephone technology had pushed the market as far as it could go, evolving from a series of static images generated every few seconds to a “smooth” video stream. Yet further progress seemed stalled as a result of the pipelines—preexisting telephone lines, which could only carry limited amounts of data.

Not only was it limited, but the extreme costs of owning and maintaining such equipment were ghastly, particularly to the budget conscious businesses of the time. As a result, the technology would remain out of reach for most businesses over the next few years.
