Past February, Google acquired On2 Technologies and its famous VP8 codec, and released the sources only three weeks ago, providing a true free alternative to H.264. Many industry leaders such as Mozilla, Logitech and Nvidia, have since announced they would soon support this codec, making it the future standard of Internet video.
Tixeo also goes VP8 for it's solution WorkSpace3D, becoming the first video / web conferencing provider to integrate this codec. This choice leads to higher performances than H.264, in terms of video quality and bandwidth usage for video conferencing purpose.
Video quality in a multi-party video conference is a key for both efficiency and feeling of physical presence. In most cases, achieving this goal is expansive and not only requires high-performance hardware but also a professional broadband Internet access.
That's why Tixeo has decided to integrate VP8 within its solutions, a few days after Google's release through the open source project, WebM. Combining VP8 capabilities to Tixeo's latest improvements in the use of multi-core processors and QoS, WorkSpace3D brings HD video conferencing to the desktop, using a standard ADSL connection.
After several years of R&D done by On2 Technologies, VP8 codec is the state of the art in the field of video compression, and has a high compression ratio for a very low CPU usage.
The use of VP8 within Tixeo's solutions with profiles optimized for real time, clearly shows the superiority of VP8 on H.264. HD video streams in WorkSpace3D require less than 1Mbps and allow multi-point video conferencing using a regular desktop and a 8Mbps ADSL connection.
Tixeo's users can already enjoy the latest WorkSpace3D v3.3 release integrating VP8. Thanks to a flexible software architecture and agile development, Tixeo has rapidly achieved this integration, giving to its customers a greater communication experience.

Most of multipoint video conferencing solutions requires both high up-front hardware investments, and security network policy accommodations, without delivering a great collaborative experience.
Where other solutions reach these limits, WorkSpace3D succeeds in providing both affordable and easy HD video conferencing. Indeed, deployment is effortless, no matter how many users are concerned, as WorkSpace3D is firewall friendly and works seamlessly with any proxy. No need to invest in dedicated hardware solutions. Companies can use regular desktops (or laptops), HD webcams and microphones from the office, from a boardroom or even from home.
Tixeo focused its work on improving WorkSpace3D's core technologies. The new architecture takes advantage of multi-core processors, making WorkSpace3D ready for tomorrow's expectations. Highly optimized and parallelized, WorkSpace3D leverages on CPU resources to deliver the best communication experience. This is one of the primary reasons why WorkSpace3D is an enterprise-grade web-conferencing solution.
As ease of use is one of Tixeo's top priority, WorkSpace3D 3.0 enhances user experience with an easier and smarter GUI. This new release makes it effortless to manage layouts and audio & video settings. For instance, once you are done working on a document, you can easily switch to a video layout perfectly fitted for videoconferencing, the video wall. Dual screens in your boardroom? Move videos within a click on your secondary screen, to extend your workspace.

A new major version of WorkSpace3D (release v3.0) has been in test for severals months and will be available for all by the end of the year. This version will bring a lot of great new features and enhancements. Tixeo has decided to reveal one of them, as a sneak preview of WorkSpace3D 3.0: an embedded phone conferencing service, already available for all our hosted service customers.
Automatically enabled when you create a meeting, this service allows you to attend it even if you don't have any Internet access or computer. You can choose to join the meeting using VoIP or your phone. Each participant pays its own communications to its local phone service provider.
At the same time, Tixeo has enhanced its hosting infrastructure to match its main objective: giving the best and most reliable service. As Internet is a fast growing information superhighway, there are sometimes traffic jams. Indeed, the increase of both Internet users and online video services sometimes exceed the Internet capacity. To avoid communication slowdowns, Tixeo deployed a new hosting infrastructure perfectly fitted to video conferencing services.
