What is SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync?
SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync is a video network device that allows you to make video
calls between the Lync Clients and H.323 video endpoints. H.323 video endpoints are “physical”
endpoints: meeting rooms equipped with room systems and personal endpoints typically located
on a desktop. Calling an H.323 video endpoint is just like when calling any other Lync Client. You
can also call from an H.323 video endpoint to a Lync Client.

If your organization deploys a SCOPIA Solution as the video network, you are able to use these
additional features:
•
Creating a video conference in a virtual meeting room or in your personal virtual room and
invite other Lync Clients or H.323 video endpoints.
A virtual meeting room is literally a virtual room that serves as a meeting place and shows
several participants at the same time, instead of showing only one participant at a time as in
a Lync video call.
Figure 1-2
shows a virtual meeting room attended by three participants
using their Lync Clients and the rest of participants joining from meeting rooms using
H.323 video endpoints.
