TANDBERG today announced the TANDBERG Codec C60, the next generation video collaboration engine that brings telepresence-quality 1080p high definition to the broadest range of video conferencing applications. With this announcement, TANDBERG sets the new technology standard for video conferencing.

Based on the same advanced technology as TANDBERG's award-winning Codec C90 telepresence engine, the C60 is designed for a new way of working that enables true-to-life high-definition video for all employees. The C60 is also built for a streamlined, high-quality integration experience, with its standards-compliant, professional grade connectors and full APIs. The added ability to connect up to four microphones and four HD sources — including rich multimedia — provides users with a natural and interactive experience. Additionally, it is interoperable with all standards-compliant video conferencing, telepresence and desktop collaboration tools.

“The Codec C60 is the next generation video engine for widespread 1080p video collaboration,” said Håkon Dahle, Chief Technologist, TANDBERG. “Not only does it enable the highest-quality visual experience, it's future-proof. Users can rest assured that they will always have access to the latest video features through the C60's simple software upgrades.”

“With the C60, TANDBERG has harnessed the power and flexibility of the C90 in a product more suited for every day use,” said Andrew W. Davis, Sr. Analyst and Partner at Wainhouse Research. “For integrators, it presents an easily deployable and user-friendly option that helps make video conferences about the experience and not about the technology used to enable it.”

The powerful Codec C60 is the engine supporting the new TANDBERG Profile also announced today. The C60 is currently available for purchase as a stand-alone product and as an integration package with the PrecisionHD 1080p camera, microphone, remote control and cables.
