Apr 29, 2010

LAS VEGAS, NV–(Marketwire – April 29, 2010) – Interop, Las Vegas – Vidyo®, Inc., the first to deliver personal telepresence, today announced that its VidyoDesktop™ Executive, has been recognized by InformationWeek Analytics, the leading service for peer-based IT research and analysis, and Interop, the leading global business technology event series, as the Collaboration award winner for the 2010 Best of Interop Awards. The Best of Interop Award ceremony was held Wednesday at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center during this year’s Interop Las Vegas. The finalists for the 2010 Best of Interop Awards were hand-selected by award-winning editors and analysts from InformationWeek Analytics. There were over 100 candidates for Best of Interop consideration in nine different categories.

“We are honored to be the recipient of a Best of Interop award for the second time,” said Ofer Shapiro, Vidyo CEO and co-founder. “Two years ago we received the Best of Interop ‘Best Start-Up’ award for a technology promise to shake-up the videoconferencing market with a novel architecture. This year we received the Best of Interop award in Collaboration for delivering on this promise. The VidyoDesktop Executive (as well as the rest of the VidyoConferencing™ product line) strongly supports our assertion that our new architecture is causing a demonstrable shift in the videoconferencing market. The VidyoDesktop Executive is simply our software client running on a general purpose All-in-One computer, delivering superior functionality versus proprietary hardware devices that are ten times the cost! We hold this critical recognition of our achievement as a beacon, leading the way to the future of video communications — high quality, affordable and accessible to everyone. VidyoConferencing is an affordable software solution that runs on the Internet instead of expensive propriety devices and dedicated networks.”

“The Best of Interop Awards highlight the outstanding IT vendors of the industry and this year’s Best of Interop is particularly exciting because of the strong competition we saw in each category,” said Art Wittmann, Managing Director of InformationWeek Analytics. “The selected winners represent innovation in the marketplace and deserve recognition for helping build the energy and growth of today’s IT Industry.”

Vidyo’s Intellectual Property

Vidyo is the only company to deliver a purpose-built architecture leveraging H.264 SVC and eliminating a costly MCU as the basis for a video conferencing solution. H.264 SVC is a video compression standard that enables a video stream to be broken into multiple resolutions, quality levels and bit rates. Utilizing this capability and Vidyo´s intellectual property, the VidyoRouter™ architecture offers unprecedented error resiliency and low latency through eliminating the MCU. The VidyoRouter is the first video multipoint solution that can deliver rate matching and continuous presence capabilities without an additional video encode and decode. This unique capability allows for less than half of the end-to-end latency of MCU-based solutions. (Click here to see a comparative demonstration of Vidyo´s consistent quality).
