Quality Visual and Audio Videoconferencing for Healthcare
The RealPresence system is an all-in-one device that is both small and portable. It could fit comfortably on a clinician’s desk or on the table in a meeting room. It can even support dual screens if facilities want to dedicate a well-equipped conference room to the device.
In healthcare, accuracy is critical, so the RealPresence 500 has a camera that supports wide-angle UXGA (1920x1200 resolution) or fully HD (1920x1080) feeds.
In addition, the device is optimized to work in environments where the available bandwidth is not very fast or possibly unreliable. Reducing the camera to VGA resolution (640x480) lowered the bandwidth considerably while still maintaining reasonably high quality. The only caveat is the video will likely be played in a smaller window on the patient’s screen.
Sound is also captured well using a RealPresence microphone. The 500 offers an array capable of supporting up to four microphones, which would make it a good choice for large conference rooms where people are sitting far from the unit.
