LifeSize Communications today presented its expanded HD video-conferencing product line. Three new products – LifeSize Express, LifeSize Team MP and LifeSize Conference – have been added to the company’s main product, LifeSize Room.
LifeSize’s portfolio consists exclusively of HD video product. The offering ranges from simple point-to-point video-conferencing systems through to customized systems with multiple screens and multiple HD cameras.
„With our product portfolio focused exclusively on HD video, we enable lifelike video conferences with high reliability at an affordable price,” says Craig Malloy, Managing Director and company founder of LifeSize Communications. „We are convinced that video-conferencing systems will sustainably change the way people communicate with one another, and we are proud to be able to introduce a revolutionary technology that enables people everywhere in the world to achieve more, travel less and yet always be present.”
The new LifeSize Express product is a high-resolution point-to-point video-conferencing system. LifeSize Express, which is approximately the size of a WLAN router, offers telepresence in HD quality for just under 6,000 US dollars.
The LifeSize Team MP and LifeSize Room HD video-conferencing systems are positioned in the middle price range and, unlike Lifesize Express, can also establish multipoint connections. Like all LifeSize HD video products, they deliver 30 frames per second at a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels compressed to one megabit per second (Mbps), and also the best possible image quality at lower bandwidths. LifeSize products support all standards and can be used together with almost any video-conferencing system built within the last seven years. The price of LifeSize Team MP is around 9000 US dollars.
The new HD video-conferencing product portfolio is rounded off by LifeSize Conference. With this product, companies, system integrators and AV consultants receive a suitable HD video infrastructure to individually configure a telepresence environment with multiple screens, up to three HD cameras and a remote control. The price is just under 40,000 US dollars.
„With the subject of telepresence, the primary concern is to get an authentic reproduction of the conference partners. LifeSize Conference creates the impression that everyone is in the same room,” Casey King, Technical Director at LifeSize.
