What are the advantages and disadvantages of software video conferencing?

1, the market entry threshold is relatively low, and the pure software system has become a "good quality and low price" solution because of less hardware equipment investment and less maintenance.

2. It has good adaptability to the network, can penetrate the firewall, and has good flexibility in attending meetings.

3. Software video conferencing is highly mobile.

4. Flexible investment. According to the different requirements of video conference, software video conference can achieve conference room level effect or desktop level effect.

5. The system is easy to install and deploy, and easy to expand capacity and upgrade products.

Disadvantages:

1. Security and stability cannot be guaranteed.

Software video is based on Windows operating platform and PC architecture, which is vulnerable to viruses and hackers and is not suitable for long-term operation. Especially the conference room terminal based on software, which uses a large number of board cards and peripheral supporting equipment, has low integration, many fault points and is difficult to troubleshoot.

2. Poor audio and video effects

The USB camera used in general desktop software terminals can only provide video quality lower than CIF quality, with low frame rate and poor color reproduction. Although the conference room software terminal can be equipped with a dedicated conference camera, after video acquisition and software coding, the video delay is relatively large and the video and audio signals cannot be synchronized.

3. Poor ability to support different networks

The software video solution based on general PC architecture can only support Ethernet line transmission, but not H.320 network architecture based on private line.

3. number three. The Qos guarantee mechanism is not perfect

At present, most software video solutions cannot provide a perfect QoS guarantee mechanism. When the network transmission conditions are poor, there will be video mosaic, delay, audio distortion, jitter and other phenomena!
