Vidyo is taking video communications to the next level once again, according to a recent announcement made by the leader in integrated collaboration technology. By implementing its own version of the VP9 coding format, Vidyo has been able to optimise real-time video connections, doubling mobile battery life, and delivering a more reliable, efficient, and productive solution for users around the world.

According to the CEO of Vidyo, Eran Westman, the implementation of VP9 came as a response to the growing interest Vidyo have begun to see from the emergency services vertical, who require quick collaboration, and long-lasting batteries for exceptional performance. With Vidyo, first-responders in an emergency will be able to use live-stream video cameras to improve their performance, without having to worry about limited battery life.

The latest upgrade from Vidyo should help to strengthen the company's position as the global leader in video communication solutions. According to experts, the new VP9 codec designed by Vidyo comes with a highly-dependable enterprise-grade level of resilience, intended to offer multi-party high-quality video connections that are compatible with the growing WebRTC environment.

Over the years, Vidyo has made several significant contributions to the video conferencing market. In 2005, the company helped to co-develop the H.264 SVC, while introducing its unique selective forwarding unit to the market. Since then, the brand has continued to innovate new methods of communication and collaboration, designed for a world that's focused on faster, more effective, and more productive real-time models.

Vidyo has helped to launch interactive video solutions that transform desktop and mobile devices into meeting room solutions for companies in any environment. With Vidyo, there's no need for MCUs or large investments in hardware for video conferencing. That means that any brand, of any size, can make the most of video connections for improving productivity and collaboration.

Changing the World with Incredible Video

By continuing to pioneer new methods for connectivity, Vidyo is changing perceptions in the marketplace and introducing never-before-seen solutions for real-time communication.

For instance, in 2013, the brand joined forces with Google, to create a more scalable extension of their VP9 code for a flexible, open-source WebRTC project. Now, the solution is fully on-hand to produce more resilient face-to-face experiences for customers around the world.

The scalable version of the VP9 codec extension means that companies around the world will be able to access more innovative options for video conferencing, regardless of their background. Today, you can find the powerful solutions created by Vidyo in the H.264 video codecs, alongside the payload RTP formats for H.264, H.265, and of course the VP8 and VP9 codes.
