"Barco prides itself in having the best display and presentation technologies and has always believed that networked video collaboration capabilities would add huge value to our platform," said Hans Dekeyser, Barco's Vice President Enterprise Visualization North America.
"The demonstration of the Vidyo and Barco platforms at InfoComm is a unique opportunity to see what is possible when 'best of breed' innovations come together," said Amir Shaked, Vidyo's SVP of Product Management. "Currently the choice is between hugely expensive telepresence systems or lesser-quality, hard-to-use video conference rooms. We are setting a new standard in terms of telepresence quality, flexibility and price point that create new markets unaddressable by legacy technologies.
