Keynote Session by TrueConf CTO, Stass Soldatov, at Integrated Systems Europe 2017. With growing popularity of small and affordable huddle rooms we can see that software is migrating to the meeting rooms and is effectively replacing legacy endpoints. Today PC-based meeting rooms provide the same quality as compared to full-featured meeting rooms.

1. Room Terminal 2.0:
Judgement Day

2. Just a few things you should
care about.
Few things that could change
everything.

4. Moore’s law

5. Thank you, ;)

6. Video conferencing becomes personal

7. Thank you, ;)

8. AV → peripherals…
…for PCs

9. Thank you, ;)

10. Software codecs provides better quality. Surprise!

11. And point-to-point 2160p (4K) conferencing

12. And even 3D (1080p + 1080p) conferencing

13. Huddle rooms have opened
Pandora’s box.
We can see many examples.
Pure software PC-based rooms.

14. PC is going to be the room's core
Because it’s always a money question.

15. Budget legacy
endpoints are trying
to protect this niche.

16. Standard protocols role overestimated
Think interoperability, not compatibility.

17. Standard audio codecs a little bit outdated
• 1988 (!)
• 64 kbps
• 4000 Hz
G722.1(c) “The Best”
• 1999 (2005)
• 24-32 (48) kbps
• 7000 Hz (14000 Hz)
G711 “The Compatible”

18. Opus, the best VoIP audio codec since 2012

19. On screen control: HDMI CEC

20. Touch panel control: HTTP

21. Content: Miracast, AirPlay

22. Case-specific software on the same hardware

23. Some other considerations
● Affordable upgrades, just replace a PC.
● Want new features? Download updates.
● New task? Find the right software.
● App Stores for rooms? Yes, they also exist.
Tip: save some bucks for a good coffee machine ;)

24. Have you heard about Intel Unite,
NFC, ML and computer vision?
They are knocking into the VC room door

25. Time to change reseller’s strategy

26. Lift off...
Go vertical!

28. Thank you. Questions?
