Communications architecture

The communications architecture — or networking relationship between endpoints — in video communications has a significant impact on your experience. Magor TeleCollaboration is based on a codec-agnostic peer-to-peer video architecture.

This approach allows each Magor TeleCollaboration endpoint to operate independently of the others so all participants can control their own visual experience.  Each endpoint can determine the optimal way to process, send and receive data based on the most important factors to your personal experience — your actions and the varying network conditions. This is essential in a truly collaborative environment where the technology is an enabler that allows you to work in your own way instead of inhibiting the natural flow of spontaneous collaboration.

The human impact

Allowing participants to customize their experience is fundamental to Magor TeleCollaboration. Because each endpoint processes the video and collaboration material, instead of simply receiving static streams of media, each participant is free to resize and move any video or collaboration window for complete control over their experience. All Human Experience Design benefits rely on a communications architecture that is peer-to-peer.

The network impact

Allowing each endpoint to act independently is also essential to the flexibility and real-time adaptability of the encoding processes. For example, each endpoint sends only the resolution of video needed if a participant changes a video window size. And each endpoint can encode video according to local network conditions. This flexibility allows Magor TeleCollaboration to operate over best-effort networks, such as the Internet.
