針對不同領域的工作環境，TANDBERG推出可客製化的網真視訊解決方案

台北2009年12月7日電 /美通社亞洲/ –「網真視訊」在印象上總讓人聯想到一群西裝筆挺的企業高層圍著會議桌透過高畫質視訊舉行會議。今日，TANDBERG推出了一款可客製化的網真視訊解決方案「TANDBERG T3 Custom Edition」就打破了這樣既定的印象。工程師、時尚設計師和教師等，有著在不同領域的工作環境與供應商、買家或學生自然地進行協同互動的需求，而這套新推出的解決方案就能為他們帶來與會議室專用產品同等級的真實體驗。這類在會議室外使用高畫質視訊需求，正是帶動網真視訊創新的原動力。

Gartner公司分析師Scott Morrison表示：「根據今年稍早Gartner的預測，到了2012年底，隨著網真視訊解決方案的普及，每年企業界將省下35億美元的差旅費用。」，並提到：「由於越來越多的公司尋求透過視訊協同技術的運用來從中獲益，業界實有必要開創新的運用方式，協助客戶解決不斷應運而生的挑戰和需求。」

TANDBERG新推出的T3 Custom Edition帶來自然的面對面通訊、熟悉的使用者界面、和順暢的互通性，延續了一貫卓越的TANDBERG體驗，能讓整合夥伴廠商客製化TANDBERG深受獎項肯定的T3技術，滿足特定的顧客需求。舉例來說(參見概念圖解)適用的有：

— 時尚業的伸展台
— 研發團隊的協同工作空間
— 高等教育的浸入式講堂
— 連接全球研究團隊的實驗室環境

TANDBERG網真視訊與先進解決方案部門副總裁Odd Sverre Ostlie表示:「 TANDBERG T3 Custom Edition是針對網真視訊市場不斷成長的需求而生的解決方案，而這部分的成長在於客戶想在會議室以外的環境下進行高畫質視訊協同溝通，例如由實驗室、教室和工廠等。」，並表示：「TANDBERG現正以網真視訊解決方案來建立前所未有的教育環境，同時也已雀屏中選來打造時尚業第一套虛擬試衣間，將為時尚業帶來革命性的影響。不過，這才只是高畫質視訊通訊普及的開端，將來還有許多大多數人想像不到的各種運用方式，能夠大幅改善人們的生活。」

IVCi公司執行副總裁Charles Macli表示：「我們已感受到來自我們顧客的強烈需求，要求我們客製化他們的一部分網真視訊系統，以符合他們的特定應用及環境條件。」，並表示：「去年，我們透過客製化網真視訊解決方案業務，已為不同範疇的環境提供浸入式高畫質網真視訊體驗，強化協同作業，充分發揮網真通訊技術獨特的優勢。有了TANDBERG T3 Custom Edition，我們將能為各領域的顧客提供更大的價值，從而讓他們無論何時何地都可與人進行面對面溝通。網真視訊已不再是會議室專用的了。」

TANDBERG Launches Customizable Telepresence Solution For Use in a Flexible Workspace

TAIPEI, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — “Telepresence” frequently conjures images of a select group of business-suited executives brought together around a table through high-quality visual communications. Today TANDBERG introduced the TANDBERG T3 Custom Edition, a customizable telepresence solution that shatters that image, bringing that same in-person experience to engineers, fashion designers, and educators who want to collaborate naturally with suppliers, buyers and students in a flexible workspace. This growing demand for high-quality video outside of the boardroom is a trend driving telepresence innovation.

“Earlier this year, Gartner predicted that by year-end 2012, increased utilization of video telepresence solutions would save organizations $3.5 billion annually in travel costs,” said Scott Morrison, Gartner analyst. “As more and more companies seek to realize the benefits of visual collaboration technologies, the industry will need to find innovative ways to expand offerings to address evolving customer challenges and needs.”

TANDBERG’s new T3 Custom Edition, which maintains the superior TANDBERG experience with natural eye-to-eye communication, a consistent touch user interface and seamless interoperability, allows integrator partners to customize TANDBERG’s award-winning T3 technology to meet specific customer needs, such as (see conceptual illustrations):

— Catwalks in the fashion industry
— Collaboration spaces for R&D teams
— Immersive education auditoriums for higher education
— Laboratory settings connecting global research teams

“The TANDBERG T3 Custom Edition is a direct response to the expanding market for telepresence, where customers are demanding the highest-quality visual collaboration beyond the boardroom in labs and classrooms and on manufacturing floors,” said Odd Sverre Ostlie, Vice President Telepresence and Advanced Solutions, TANDBERG. “TANDBERG is implementing telepresence solutions into unique education settings, and we have been chosen for the industry’s first virtual fitting room, which will revolutionize the fashion industry. This is just the beginning of a trend toward accessible high-quality visual communication that improves our lives in ways most people have not imagined possible.”

“We have experienced strong demand from our customers for a subset of their telepresence systems to be customized to meet specific application and environmental criteria,” said Charles Macli, EVP, IVCi LLC. “And for the last year our Customized Telepresence Solutions Practice has delivered the immersive, high-quality telepresence experience in different environments to enhance collaboration and make the most of the undisputed benefits of the technology. The TANDBERG’s T3 Custom Edition will help us to deliver greater value to all types of customers who can now connect face-to-face with anyone anywhere. Telepresence is no longer just for the board room.”
