BRAND STORY
Brand Introduction
Vidyo provides enterprise video communications software based on its patented Scalable Video Coding (SVC) technology, making it the industry’s first solution to apply H.264 SVC to video conferencing.The VidyoPlatform SDK enables organizations to embed secure, real-time video into any application, device, or workflow, spanning mobile, desktop, and conference room endpoints.The solution has been deployed in the healthcare (over 400 hospital networks), financial services (over 120 institutions), education, government, and enterprise markets, and maintains stable calls even in network environments with up to 20% packet loss—more than twice the industry average.
Vidyo was founded in 2005 by Ofer Shapiro in Hackensack, New Jersey, USA. The founder previously developed the world's first IP video conferencing bridge. Vidyo pioneered the shift from hardware-based MCU transcoding architectures to software-defined, SVC-driven video routing, eliminating the need for high-cost dedicated transcoding equipment. In May 2019, Enghouse Systems Limited acquired Vidyo for approximately $40 million, and the brand currently continues to operate and develop under Enghouse Video. The platform holds over 170 video communication patents, is SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant, and holds JITC and GDPR certifications, making it especially suitable for regulated industries such as government and defense.
CORE STRENGTHS
Exclusive Technology and Core Advantages
SVC Patent Video Routing Architecture
The H.264 SVC architecture replaces traditional hardware MCUs with low-cost software routers,with all encoding and decoding processed at the endpoints, eliminating transcoding latency and enabling each participant to receive the best possible video quality based on their current bandwidth. It offers a packet loss tolerance of up to 20%, which is twice the industry average.
Embedded Video SDK and Open API Platform
The VidyoPlatform SDK allows developers to embed real-time video directly into existing applications, healthcare portals, financial systems, and IoT devices, eliminating the need for end users to download a standalone video application. Built on an open standards architecture (WebRTC, SIP, H.323), it ensures seamless integration with any workflow and supports a migration path for standards evolution.
Video solutions for healthcare and financial markets
Deployed across over 400 hospital networks (telehealth, virtual ICU, mental health, remote patient monitoring) and more than 120 financial institutions, meeting HIPAA, FIPS 140-2, and SOC 2 certifications to deliver an uncompromising video experience under strict regulatory requirements.
Cloud, On-Premises, and Hybrid Elastic Deployment
VidyoCloud supports rapid cloud deployment; VidyoRooms and on-premises solutions serve organizations requiring complete data sovereignty or isolated networks. JITC certification and GDPR compliance cover government, defense, and European regulated markets, supporting global deployment at any security level.
