Cisco Unveils Umi Videoconferencing Phone for HDTV

Cisco Unveils Umi Videoconferencing Phone for HDTV

image-1.jpg


SAN FRANCISCO — Cisco on Wednesday morning launched an electronics kit that turns a high-definition television into an expensive videoconferencing phone.

Called Umi (pronounced “you-me”) Telepresence, the product includes a console, an HD camera and a remote control. The console containing the video-conferencing software hooks up to the television and a broadband connection. The Umi kit costs $600 and an additional $25 per month for the phone service.

Umi videoconferencing is not limited to Umi users. Cisco has partnered with Google so that people can use Google’s video chat service on their computers to chat with Umi users, Cisco said during a morning press conference in San Francisco.

“Video is the most powerful medium of all, and if the experience is right it changes behavior and it changes the way people live, play and learn,” said Marthin De Beer, Cisco’s senior vice president of emerging technologies. “Umi telepresence is about you and me connecting in new ways on your television.”

Video conferencing broke into the mainstream in the 2000s when the feature became available in instant-messaging clients such as iChat and Google Chat. In recent years, tech manufacturers have been pushing the technology beyond computers onto devices like smartphones and televisions. The iPhone 4, for example, includes a front-facing camera for “FaceTime” video chatting anywhere you have a Wi-Fi connection. TV-based videoconferencing is catered to group interactions: business meetings, for example, or connecting with family members.

Gina Clark, vice president of the Umi Telepresence product group, said that the Umi will be extremely easy for any type of user to set up.

“The natural behavior and sense of being able to roam around that living room and really enjoy each other is the difference with Umi Telepresence versus competing products,” Clark said.

The Umi is shipping November 14, available at Best Buy and Magnolia Home Theater retail stores. Pre-orders begin today.
