The meetings you attend using the VSX
™
system are much like meetings you
attend in a physical conference room:
❑
You see other people and you talk.
Depending on how your system is configured, you can make video calls to one
or more sites using ISDN or IP connections.
❑
You show various types of information to other participants and they show
you information.
You can share many kinds of information from a variety of sources, including
almost any type of document, media, or object. You can even use the system to
share content with others in the same room when no call is in progress.
