By constructing a modal split, video conference system can be divided into software video conferencing and hardware video conference, video conference system major general portfolio expansion MCU multipoint controller/meeting room Terminal \PC desktop Terminal/phone access gateway (PSTNGateway) \Gatekeeper (gap), etc. Press Conference-quality Division, and standard definition video conference system and high-definition video conferencing system.

Laying network while it is possible to guarantee meeting quality, but much higher input costs, on the development of SMEs is not appropriate. In fact, the Internet has developed very well, even the cheap ADSL line can also provide more bandwidth, 384Kbps such bandwidth fully able to meet the video conferencing application clear and smooth. Therefore, generally choose public Internet suffice.

Using purification of PC-based software solutions while meeting the software itself costs is not high, but each room is also equipped with a dedicated PC, separate video and audio capture device (e.g. USB camera and headset) and the operating system and other related infrastructure software, installation, maintenance overhead, taken together, its cost is low. And pure hardware solution can not only perform high quality meeting and can be highly integrated integration all the features of the terminal equipment is complete without the other with other hardware and software facilities, the plug and play, using simple, maintenance-free, therefore its comprehensive cost than pure software cheap.

And compared to standard definition video conference system, costs more, on network requirements are higher.

Enterprises should be a comprehensive analysis of the company's actual needs, including input costs, network bandwidth, device management, choose the most suitable for their own video conference system.
