VideoPort, LLC will implement support of VP8 video codec in all of its video conferencing products.

A comprehensive comparison of VP8 codec and H.264 video codecs has been made applied to various video conferencing modes. VideoPort’s specialists report that VP8 video codec has showed excellent results on high bandwidth channels, surpassing best video codecs of H.264 standard.

It was decided to implement VP8 video codec into VideoPort’s products as a default video codec for high bandwidth Internet connections. A Cyclone™ video codec will continue to be used for unreliable bandwidths, low resolutions and on slow CPUs. A proprietary video codec CycloneTM was specially designed to bring business-grade video conferencing quality on slow channels and regular PCs.

VP8 video codec was originally developed by On2 Technologies and acquired by Google earlier this year. At I/O conference Google has announced the release of VP8’s sources and suggested it to be used as a default video codec for HTML5 standard.
