HD3000 Features
The HD3000 is a high definition set-top conferencing system combining
videoconferencing, streaming video, and multipoint conferencing. The HD3000
provides several distinctive attributes and features which makes it an ideal solution
for many group videoconferencing environments:
T
TV-like video and crisp audio quality
HD3000 includes VCON’s award-winning technology and solutions for
maintaining high quality during video, audio and control transmissions. It
supports H.261, H.263, H.263+, H.263++, and 60 bps interlaced video mode.
It also supports G.711, G.722, G.723.1, G.728 and G.729 audio transmission.
Features such as Automatic Buffering, Automatic Lip Synch Enabling, and
Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) provide superior performance.
T
Media Xchange Management™ Support
VCON’s Media Xchange Manager™ (MXM) provides centralized
management of an organization’s videoconferencing network. If the HD3000
logs into an MXM server, it receives gatekeeper services, bandwidth
management, remote call initiation, and telephony functions, such as call
forwarding, call pickup, call transfer, ad-hoc videoconferencing, and IP-to-
ISDN connection through a gateway.
T
Quality of Service (QoS)
VCON’s PacketAssist™ Architecture preserves optimum quality of your
videoconference according to available bandwidth and network traffic. The
HD3000 applies mechanisms such as IP Precedence to prioritize the video,
audio and control bits, and DiffServ to transfer packets according to the
HD3000’s specific needs.
T
Multicast and Unicast Streaming
The HD3000 applies HD Simulcast™ technology, which provides multiple
ways of streaming live conferences out over your organization’s network and
over the Internet, where it can be viewed by any authorized person with a
streaming viewer. Users can simultaneously stream a presentation and live
video to remote sites. The streaming functions may be accessed through the
HD3000’s Web-based Management, allowing network administrators to begin
and end streaming, freeing the conference leader (Chair) to control the
meeting.
