Full Definition

A video conferencing codec (compression/decompression) is dedicated hardware that encodes outgoing video and decodes incoming video for video conference calls. Codecs connect to cameras, microphones, and displays to create a complete video conferencing endpoint. While software-based solutions have grown common, hardware codecs remain popular for dedicated meeting rooms where reliability and video quality are paramount.
