Everything is being marketed as HD these days – Broadcast TV, HD-Radio, Computers, Ad Displays and even Microsoft’s ZUNE player.

When our eyes resolve HD Resolutions and in a 16:9 aspect ratio, our peripheral vision is invoked; and the scientists tell us that at HD resolution in the 16:9 aspect ratio,  we become converted  from passive spectator to active participant.  This means that we engage with our content.   Interestingly, most HD marketing revolves around entertainment and passive activities, yet most of our day is spent enduring one after another business meeting.

Why then, shouldn’t our meetings be rendered in HD as well?  If life truly is short, and we spend a good part of our existence on this planet in meetings, then  why not live in HD all the time?

The FCC has mandated that the American broadcaster must transmit in HD. This is the law.  So why then, shouldn’t our meetings deliver the same experience?  And we don’t need the FCC to govern our meetings, we can let Fuze Meeting do the work for us.

It’s no surprise that the world loves HD, and rightfully so!  Whether you’re watching a Youtube video or your favorite show on a plasma screen TV, HD can make all the difference.  Never noticed it?  If you have a DVR or Tivo, try recording one of your favorite TV shows in standard format.  Simultaneously, record the show in HD if you have premium channels.  When comparing the two, you’re sure to find that HD wins, hands down.

I admittedly tried this the other night during the American Idol finale (yeah yeah, I am a fan of the show).  When I switched from standard to HD, my family and I agreed that there was no going back.

Web-celeb iJustine posted a similar scenario on her blog, tastyblogsnack.com right around the time that Youtube started offering HD uploads.  You’ll see from her results that once again, HD can make all the difference.

Now take the two scenarios of TV viewing and online-video watching and think about the last time you attended a virtual web meeting at work or a webinar.  How was the quality of the presentation or online powerpoint you were watching?  Was it granular? Choppy and jagged? Highly Compressed?  Could you barely recognize who was speaking at the other end because of all the pixels?  Nothing is worse than a bad online meeting, which is why we’re trying to change that here at Fuze Meeting.

With our solution here at Fuze Meeting, you can now present a powerpoint with those hi-res iStock images or a hi definition (HD)  video without compromising the quality.  Say bye-bye to bad online meetings and hello to the world of HD, 24/7.

So much time and effort is spent creating content so why not share it high quality?
