In today's era of rapid technological development, 8K 360° Video (that is, 8K 360° video conference) has gradually entered everyone's vision. Many people actually don't understand this kind of conference form that sounds very high-end, such as what it is, what are its benefits, etc. Today we will talk about this thing, hoping to explain it to you more clearly.
First of all, we have to explain these two core concepts to you. 8K, simply put, is an ultra-high video resolution, which is many times clearer than the 1080P HD and 4K Ultra HD that we usually use, and can make people see particularly delicate image details; and 360° Video can make the meeting feel as if everyone is in a real room. No matter which direction you turn to see, you can see the corresponding participants or conference scenes. 8K 360° Video that combines these two things together is an ultra-clear and panoramic video conference experience.
To achieve 8K 360° Video, it cannot be easily made, and many key modules have to be solved:
1. In terms of equipment : There must be a dedicated camera that can capture 8K resolution and 360-degree panoramic images. This kind of camera is usually composed of several lenses together. It also needs to be equipped with a high-performance computer host or server, because it handles such a large amount of data as 8K, and the hardware requirements are very high! Of course, high-quality microphones and audio equipment must not be missing, otherwise it is not enough to just see clearly and not hear clearly.
2. Network conditions : This is so important! The 8K video data volume is very large, and the 360-degree picture data volume is even larger, so the network speed must be very fast, and the delay must be very low. It is best to use high-speed broadband above gigabit! Provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products!
3. Software support : There must be a special video conferencing software. This software must be able to synthesize the images taken by several cameras into a 360-degree panoramic view, and it must also compress and decompress data such as 8K, so that the video can be transmitted smoothly~
You may ask some questions in actual use, and I will answer them as much as possible:
Q: What is better than ordinary video conferencing at 8K 360°
Answer: There are so many benefits! The super high definition makes you clear and clear in the small words in the presentation, and the expressions of the faces are also very good; the 360-degree panoramic view makes everyone feel that they are on the scene, and the communication is more natural, just like everyone is really sitting in a room for a meeting! Don't always adjust the camera angle~
Q: Is it expensive to get a set of this thing? Is it worth it?
Answer: At the beginning, the investment will definitely be much higher than that of ordinary video conferencing, and the equipment and network must be upgraded. However, for companies and institutions that often need to hold important meetings across countries and regions, or hold large multi-person seminars, this ultimate meeting experience can improve communication efficiency and reduce problems caused by poor communication. In the long run, it is actually worth it!
Compared with ordinary 4K video conferencing and 8K 360 degrees, the clarity and experience are not the same level at all. Of course, the cost has also increased. You have to choose according to your actual needs and budget~
When using 8K 360° Video on a daily basis, there are a few tips that you should remember:
1. Before the meeting, be sure to check whether all the devices are connected and whether the camera and microphone can work normally. It is best to test whether the network speed is fast enough in advance, and don’t wait until the meeting is held before there will be problems!
2. Make sure the light in the room is not too dark or too bright, otherwise the person will not be clear about the photos; it is best to use special meeting lights to shine on the participants~
3. If multiple people speak at the same time, you must pay attention to controlling the order of speech and don’t rush to speak in a mess. The software generally has the function of speaking requests, so make good use of it!
My personal opinion is that 8K 360° Video represents an important development direction for remote meetings in the future. Although not everyone can use it and afford it now, as technology continues to improve and costs gradually drop, it will definitely be applied in more scenarios in the future, especially for organizations that focus on communication experience and efficiency, this is definitely a good thing!
