Web Conferencing
For a more collaborative environment or a formal presentation at a distance, web conferencing is a more dynamic option. You could make a presentation from your office, over the Internet, to associates in other parts of the world. Web conferencing allows electronic data sharing over the Internet, and easily combines with audio conferencing, because the audio communication is the most important part of a meeting.

Depending on the sophistication of the web conferencing provider, an attendee can create highly interactive meetings and presentations. For example, documents can be shared and manipulated real-time by all conference attendees. This type of communication sometimes incorporates streaming media - digital video and audio files delivered over the Internet.

Video Conferencing
Video conferencing, a merging of television and transmission systems, is the communication of two or more parties via video over telephone or data lines. Video conferencing is used for formal presentations, collaborative meetings, and dynamic training. Videoconferencing rooms can be connected in point-to-point (two participating locations) or multipoint configurations (multiple locations).

Videoconferencing systems can transmit live video, audio, and graphics back and forth from one location to another in real time. The two-way video and two-way audio of videoconferencing allows users to see and hear one another as if they are together in the same room. At the transmission sites, the signal is captured and recorded or shown live on closed circuit monitors. In order to ensure security, the transmitted signal can be encoded with an encryption device. The receiving stations must then decrypt the signal with matching decoders. One or more cameras may be used. This is usually dependent upon the size of the conference and whether a separate camera for graphics will be used. Pan and tilt functions may be used to point the camera in different directions. Video overhead cameras, video scanners, computers with video capabilities, and still video can be used to transmit documents and slides to support the presenters.

There are two typical types of video conferencing setups:
• Dedicated conference rooms or classrooms are specially designed environments with sophisticated video conferencing equipment, including large monitors or rear projection screens, high end video cameras, and touch screen control. Specialized lighting techniques for videoconferencing not only provide the necessary light for the camera but also help create the correct impressions.
• Desktop videoconferencing units combine all the needed equipment into a single unit to provide basic video communication. Equipment can be housed in a special portable cabinet with monitors, cameras, and the codec.
