Communication with the back room is conducted via telephone. You can speak with your colleagues or have a note passed in to the moderator during the project, just as you would if you were in the back room. Videoconferencing can be run at different transmission speeds. The higher the speed, the higher the quality of the picture and audio. However, the higher the speed, the higher the dataline charges from the telephone company.
High speed delivers near-television quality and is preferable for full focus group transmissions.
All international focus studios transmit at low speed, although some have higer speed capability which is noted on the facility list. A MultiPoint transmission directs the videoconferencing to two or more destinations. Costs vary depending on how many sites are linked, and whether the viewing sites dial into the focus facility, or whether FocusVision has to dial out to the viewing sites. This can run higher or lower, depending on various factors. Yes, FocusVision provides a CD within 3 to 5 working days after completion of your project.
