This document discusses the potential for televisions to become the next major two-way communication tool. It notes that communication applications are extending beyond enterprises to any device on any platform. While Steve Jobs previously said televisions are for turning your brain off, major companies like Cisco, LG and Samsung are entering the home telepresence market. Two-way communication capabilities on televisions could include uses like interactive reality shows, remote news reporting with high-quality video and voice, and back-pack journalism. Key considerations for implementing two-way HD voice and video on televisions include speech quality, cost, ease of use, flexibility, network impairment, and power consumption.
The technology behind HD Voice has been around for quite some time, however, it is only in the last few years that it has gained the momentum needed to succeed and become ubiquitous.
This whitepaper discusses the technology behind HD Voice and sets out why it is an
important feature to consider when choosing your next communications platform.
Sound Matters in Multiscreen Entertainment Delivery - TVNext 2012Ellis Reid
This presentation, given by JC Morizur at TVNext 2012, outlines how service providers can use high quality multichannel audio to help them improve the quality of experience (QoE) and quality of service (QoS) of their multiscreen entertainment offerings. Topics covered in this presentation include the following:
• What consumers are looking for in their multiscreen viewing and listening experience.
• How delivering a high quality multi-channel audio experience enhances overall video QoE?
• How providers are using adaptive audio and video bit-rate switching that seamlessly adjusts to bandwidth availability while maintaining a high quality experience.
• Examples of how some vendors and service providers are using sound to differentiate their products and services.
• How the audio experience impacts ad delivery and content monetization.

OTT & RCS:
Telecom industry is being challenged, it is fighting to stay relevant and business viable, required to continue showing growth and profitability. Challenges from players offering - VoIP, chat, video, SIM less devices, BYOD, and other rich media IP based services present a threat and an opportunity.
Carriers considering their strategy have two paths to consider: Internet based communication OTT and RCS by GSMA. Naturally Pro's and Con's for each solution. risks and benefits going hand in hand.
Yet, to large extent, OTT and RCS are complementary from value proposition and product offering. Considering from within Dual spear head approach can be relevant, effective and tangible tactical approach for many carries , MVNOs, MVNes and OEMs.
Integration of Rich Communication Services:
- Converged (fixed/mobile) operator requirements
- Integration of rich communications as an enabler for advanced IPTV services
- Use cases and business perspectives of selected scenarios

HD Voice: The Hurdles and how to overcome the codec warJohn Gallagher
Global IP Solutions (GIPS) held a webinar on July 14, 2009.
"It’s all Gone HD! Overcoming the hurdles to supplying HD Voice and resolving the Codec war"
Radvision webinar: Making Real Time Video Work Over The InternetRADVISION Ltd.
It's an opportune time for up-and-coming conferencing service providers to deploy collaboration solutions based on VoIP architectures. Early adopters amongst the Conferencing Service Providers (CSPs) have demonstrated the benefits and cost-efficiencies of these technologies in large hosted conferencing deployments. Now is the time for smaller or emerging market CSPs still operating legacy TDM audio bridges to embrace IP-based audio conferencing platforms, and capture your fair share of the growing hosted collaboration market opportunity.
What Attendees will learn:
* Understand the trends and key requirements for business customers using hosted conferencing services, and how traditional TDM audio bridges are not keeping up.
* Learn how IP-based conferencing platforms not only deliver cost-efficiencies in hosted conferencing services, but they also offer the flexibility to seamlessly integrate into collaboration processes and communication behaviours of your target markets.
* Understand the equipment and features required in entry-level systems to get you started, with the scalability to grow, or add video and web collaboration capabilities.
