the locations in a multipoint
videoconference
7
WHAT IS A GATEWAY?
Gateway The network interface that allows
connection between different protocols
8

CONTINUOUS PRESENCE
It divides the video monitor into up to 4
quadrants.
London (h.1200)
Rome (h.1300)
Athens (h.1400)
Moscow (h.1500)
It allows to see simultaneously each
participant of the several sites involved in the
conferencing.
14
SCREEN LAYOUTS
There are many possibile configurations...
15
SCREEN LAYOUTS
...up to 26 different layouts!
16
PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP)
You can open up to 2 smaller windows
in a full screen image. These portions
of the monitor can display your image and another
site simultaneously during the meeting..
The images in the windows can easily change
thanks to the dynamic drag and drop
repositioning, with the main window always
showing the active speaker.
17
TEXT AND BORDER OVERLAY
You can overlay each image in a video conference
display with text - such as the participant name
- accompanied by border images - such as a
company logo to clearly identify each participant.
18
WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT
The MCU can be remotely configurated, managed and
administrated via web. You can easily set up
ad-hoc or scheduled conferences to collaborate
and share resources.
19
MANAGEMENT
Cascading and clustering capabilities allows to
join separate conferences in one unified
conference. In this way its possible to increase
the number of partecipants to your
videoconferences, reducing network bandwidth
usage, improving scalability and simplifying the
management.
unified multiparty conference
20
DIAL IN / DIAL OUT
Users dial-in to participate to a conference
call. The MCU will automatically set up the
conference without participants being attended by
an operator.
A conference operator dial out to invite
participants to join the conference.
21
ANY MEDIA
The MCU supports all the multipoint audio, video
and data protocols, for unrivaled quality of your
conferences.
The Advanced Audio Transcoding between the
different protocols and networks and the
recording and streaming capabilities add value to
your multiparty meetings. Video calls can reach
up to 2MB H.239 Dual Video allows to view two
different streams for video and data at the
same time. T.120 support enables two or
more users to share data and applications.
22
ANY NETWORK
The MCU ensures interoperability with existing
and emerging protocols such as H.323, SIP, V.35
and 3G-324M for wireless devices.
Bandwidth optimization of symmetric and
asymmetric streams allows to save on network
resources avoiding to send video streams of
participants not displayed on screen.
Downspeeding enables the completion and
mantaining of a call during loss of ISDN B
channels
23
SECURITY
You can protect the privacy of your meeting and
your data thanks to password and
encryption. Password regards several levels of
each MCU, from administration to configuration,
from chairman control to joining a
conference. The support of encryption protocols
(AES and DES) allows you to easily choose which
level of security do you want for your
conference, without the need to add new hardware.
