Michael De Beer of Cisco was the opening keynote speaker Monday night at InfoComm. He did a presentation on the acquisition of both Tandberg and Flip. They believe that in three years 90% of internet traffic will be video. He demonstrated some new Cisco video products as well. One was their video recording device that also did real time transcription of speech to text and the video is searchable by keywords. We then saw them replay the beginning of the presentation on some VC end points, iPhone and iPad. Cisco is most definitely in the AV business.
There also seems to be a general adoption of the term Tele-Presence for all video conferencing, not just the special high end rooms we have called Tele-Presence in the past.
CompTIA an education and trade association for the IT world is in discussions with InfoComm for a merger between the two as AV and IT become the same industry.
