Video Conferencing Equipment

The Best Of The Best Series
from your no BS reporter on the ground...

 

Welcome back to this next in the series of "Best of the Best". For the new readers amongst you, welcome! I hope you find this report interesting, and get as much enjoyment from reading about these products as I get by testing them!

As usual in the series, I have tested most of the best of the
featured products available in the market and have
shortlisted down to 5 what I think are the Best of the Best
in whatever product line I am featuring. Last week we
looked at the latest HDTV offerings and Sony, as so often
they do, took first prize with their BRAVIA model, available
in both 40in and 46in.

This week we're looking at improving your conference
calling using Video Conferencing equipment, and I
must say that again Sony held out the best product I
had the pleasure of testing, until they were pipped at the
post last minute by this week's winner.
   		 
Most of the products we feature are at the top end of the price market, and this week is certainly no exception. I always reserve a place or two for an economical alternative. This week's economical alernatives provide an ideal option for SME's and home use for those without the big corporate budgets to throw around.

So, without further ado, lets take a look at this week's line up.

1   LifeSize® Room™ HD Video Conferencing (high end)
2 Sony HD PCS-HG90 Video Conferencing (high end) 
3 Polycom HDX 9004 Video Conferencing (high end) 
4 DVC-1100 Wireless Video Conferencing (economical) 
5 Vialta Beamer TV Video Conferencing (ultra economical)
