Abstract: The invention discloses a high definition video conference system comprising a plurality of transmitting terminals and a receiving terminal. Each transmitting terminal comprises a digital imaging/processing apparatus and a first data processing apparatus. The receiving terminal comprises a second data processing apparatus and at least one display apparatus. The digital imaging/processing apparatus is used for capturing an image of a participant and for compressing the captured image into a high definition image. According to a standard communication protocol, the first data processing apparatus converts the high definition image into a standard-format communication image and then transmits the standard-format communication image. The second data processing apparatus is used for receiving and decoding the standard-format image transmitted from each transmitting terminal into the high definition image. Accordingly, the high definition can be displayed on the display apparatus.

Abstract: The invention provides a high-definition video conference system and method. The high-definition video conference system, according to the invention, uses an encoding module for compressing a plurality of usable digital signals under a high-definition compression standard into a plurality of compressed digital signals, and an instant-messaging application for transmitting the compressed digitals to a second terminal apparatus. The second terminal apparatus uses a decoding module for decompressing the plurality of compressed digital signals under the high-definition compression standard to obtain a plurality of image signals, and a displaying module for displaying the image signals. Therefore, the high-definition video conference system of the invention can achieve high-definition video conference applications even under limited hardware performance and network transmission bandwidth.
