CES: Skype, Tely Labs Bring HD Video Calling home Bernard Cole Las Vegas, Nev. - Skype and Tely Labs today hare agreed to work together on a home TV capability that marries Skype's globally popular communications software to Tely’s compact, video calling device – telyHD. The combination will allow users to use free Skype video calling with big-screen impact and high-definition clarity. telyHD doesn't require a computer and is compatible with most HD TVs uses industry-leading Skype and Android technologies, and allows for video calls to take place in a comfortable, naturally social setting. "telyHD fundamentally redefines the video calling experience and, in a larger sense,” said Sreekanth Ravi, CEO of Tely Labs, “how we connect and communicate with people across the globe. Unlike traditional computer-based web cameras, telyHD is designed for the living room with a wide-angle camera that zooms, pans and tilts to capture an entire room and all the participants in stunning HD video. By opening up the living room to Skype, userss can interact in a more natural, social way. Anyone on Skype can receive a telyHD video call, whether using Skype on a computer, tablet or smartphone, and can enjoy the improved telyHD video regardless of whether or not they have their own telyHD system. When both parties have telyHD systems, they can take advantage of even more capabilities including video mail -- a messaging system feature that allows users to record a video message such as a birthday greeting for friends or family that are not available to chat. Additionally, participants can share photos together while interacting on a telyHD video call. Users can even download a favorite photo right to a USB memory stick or SD card that plugs into the telyHD system as they video chat. To learn more, go to www.skype.com.
