A videophone is a telephone which is capable of both audio and video duplex transmission.
AT&T conducted experiments and demonstrations of a "Picturephone" product and service in the early 1960s. Among the first manufacturers of commercially viable videophones was Toshiba, and the first consumer videophone was developed by Motorola. AT&T sold standalone "Videophone™" brand consoles to the general public in the early 1990's with prices starting at States dollar|$" target="_blank" >*1499.99. *
Videotelephony is mostly used in large corporate setups, and are supported by systems such as Cisco CallManager. Other companies such as Tandberg, Radvision, and Polycom also offer similar solutions. Videoconferencing has generally been limited to the h.323 protocol (notably Cisco's SCCP implementation is an exception), however recently a shift towards SIP implementations is seen. In accordance with the adoption of SIP telephony for home users, videotelephony is also slowly becoming available to home users.
