What is "Enterprise Quality Video"? - ECG

Written by Mark Lindsey | Dec 2, 2008 5:00:00 AM

Psytechnics has a troubleshooting product that sounds neat. Expensive, but pretty neat.

Their marketing folks have sent me this email, announcing they'd teach me how to ensure "Enterprise-Quality" Video and Voice.

What is "Enterprise Quality"? To be honest, most "enterprises" I know do a lot of business over cell phones. Is cell phone quality what we're aiming for?

And even if we accept that "enterprise quality audio" means some standard of goodness related to phone calls, what is "enterprise quality video"? Most of the video teleconferencing out there is Skype -- Grandma Shirley talking to Grandson Oren. At 320x200, and 15 fps.

If they had said, "broadcast quality video", I would have a better idea about what they meant.
