Video Conferencing Standards & Terminology

Video Conferencing Standards and Terminology.
There is an ever increasing number of standards, terminologies and
buzz-words used within the video conferencing industry that can make
understanding what is both available and compatible a minefield. We
have the H.300's, the G.700's, the T.120's and the H.450's, not to
mention ISDN, LAN, WAN, ADSL, VPN and POTS all mixed with NTSC, PAL
and CIF. To complicate matters more, we also have to deal with the
forthcoming media-enabled 3G mobile phone and how this links in with
existing systems. This document explains what these standards,
terminologies and buzz-words mean, how they relate to the various
communications infrastructures of video conferencing and how they
relate to each other.
It is assumed that the reader has a general knowledge of Video
Conferencing systems. However, the following technical papers are
available to provide more information:
