Video conferencing using UltimateHD provides high definition video and audio that allows for clear communication between dispersed groups. It can replace much business travel and in-person meetings while conveying all visual details. Industries that would benefit include corporate communications, education, healthcare, judicial systems, and more. Key advantages are face-to-face interactions without travel, sharing documents and media in HD quality, and recording meetings for later playback. This enables faster decision making, expanded learning, and improved productivity.

Many potential candidates for various positions within companies are not located in the city in which the company is located All Human Resource employees have to evaluate a potential candidate is their resume and a voice on the other end of a telephone Candidates that look good on paper and answer a few questions over the telephone may not have the personality to do their job effectively Candidate finalists are flown to companies for face-to-face interviews… this process, plus the expenses of hotels, transportation, per-diem arrangements for food, etc. adds up to tens of thousands of dollars a year in expenses
Interviewer and interviewee can share the potential candidate’s resume using a HD document camera The interviewer gains much more information in a face-to-face meeting than can be perceived through a telephone interview The interviewer receives the added benefit of seeing and evaluating the potential job candidate’s physical appearance, as well as facial cues, body language, etc. Human Resource employees can garner all the benefits of a face-to-face interview without the expenses of air travel, hotel, transportation, etc.
Remote management techniques involve individual telephone conversations, conference calls, email and postal or expedited documents, information, etc. No process is available to provide real-time communications between management and remote employees incorporating conversations and visual information such as reports, spreadsheets, videos, etc. Current forms of communication are obviously not sufficient, as managers must make frequent trips to remote offices for meetings; incurring travel, lodging and transportation expenses Remote managers waste valuable time en route to remote offices and can neglect other managerial responsibilities
HD video conferencing tools enable managers and remote staff to create a face-to-face meeting and share information in any media (documents, XL spreadsheets, video clips, three-dimensional objects, etc.) in real time Both remote managers and staff receive far more cues than over the telephone— they receive the benefit of visual input such as facial expressions/cues, body language, and more Both managers and remote staff receive maximum benefit from time spent during a video conference, which translates into increased productivity Video conferencing can drastically reduce company expenses for remote managers’ travel, lodging and transportation
Each child’s ability to learn is based on each teacher’s ability to teach Children in smaller, economically disadvantaged, or remote communities do not have the same ratio of quality teachers or classroom resources as in economically sound and larger metropolitan areas While most children are exposed to the visual dynamics of video games, learning-based television programs, etc., in school, their learning experience is restricted to less stimulating media— primarily, the written word Most schools do not have access to IT personnel, thus, their ability to expand their curriculums fails due to technology issues
Expands each child’s learning experience beyond their teachers and their classrooms HD video conferencing levels the playing field by enabling each and every school access to the same quality teachers and classroom resources HD video conferencing can incorporate HD document cameras, video clips and much more to deliver the same, multi-media learning experience children relate to more so than books, traditional presentations, etc. High ease of use enables teachers to deliver and/or receive lectures, remote presentations, etc. without technology standing in their way
The continually rising costs of higher education is placing a college education beyond the reach of many otherwise qualified high school graduates Each student’s ability to learn is based on each professor’s ability to teach Students attending community or four-year colleges in smaller or remote communities do not have the same ratio of quality professors or classroom resources as in larger metropolitan areas While most students are exposed to the visual dynamics of video games, learning-based television programs, etc., in school, their learning experience is restricted to less stimulating media— primarily, the written word While most two- and four-year colleges have IT personnel on staff, they do not have access to necessary content for HD video conferencing
Prisoners can be transferred to a video conference room within the prison, saving the county, state or federal government significant time and money The escape risk by prisoners is minimized Potential dangers to the court and gallery by prisoners are eliminated
Fashion/Design techniques involve individual telephone conversations, conference calls, email and postal or expedited documents, information, etc. No process is available to provide real-time communications between designers fabric vendors and manufacturing incorporating conversations and visual information such as fabric color/texture, stitching, fabric cuts, etc. Current forms of communication are obviously not sufficient, as designers and fashion professionals must make frequent trips to remote fashion districts, manufacturing facilities and other destinations, incurring travel, lodging and transportation expenses Designers and fashion professionals waste valuable time en route to remote locations and can neglect other projects/responsibilities
Casting for parts in a film begins with headshots or sent by actors, a telephone interview, then traditionally ends with a face-to-face meeting with the casting director, with all travel expenses deducted from the film’s budget Daily shoots and/or edited film must be shipped or transported by carrier, creating significant expense over the course of filming a movie Collaboration regarding every step of the filming process requires the participants to travel in order to work together
Casting directors can save significant time and budget by interviewing and casting actors face-to-face for parts in the same city or around the world Actors desiring parts can “read” for the part, enabling the casting director to see their physical appearance, expressions, movements, etc. Daily shoots and/or edited film can be viewed simultaneously by collaborators in different locations and comments/input can be received in real-time, saving valuable time and budget
Sports agents can interview, evaluate and recruit potential clients around the country without ever leaving their offices During NFL, NBA or NHL drafts, sports agents can have one-on-one meetings with a number of their clients in various cities from a central location to discuss draft strategies, salaries and offer support; saving them valuable time and travel expenses
