ViewStation group videoconferencing delivers high-quality video and audio in a compact, affordable system. It's a perfect combination of technology, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness that will make you wonder how you ever managed without it.
Easy Setup and Management ViewStation integrates quickly and seamlessly into your business communications infrastructure, and is fully interoperable with other standards-based systems.
Whether you are new to videoconferencing or want to expand your current system, ViewStation provides a solution that's easy to install.
With its small ``footprint," the ViewStation unit sits conveniently on top of any size flat-top S-video or composite monitor, conserving your valuable office real estate. Color coding makes cable connection simple.
In addition, ViewStation's self-configuring capabilities for ISDN and Internet protocols make it easy to install and set up the necessary network interfaces for videoconferencing, presentation/ document sharing, and system management.
From there, a highly graphical, user-friendly interface —including icons, a hand-held remote control, and Web-based remote access—makes using the system a breeze.
High-Quality Video and Audio
The affordable ViewStation system supports the latest video standards, providing enhanced video quality at 128 kbps—or, with the 30 frames per second, 384/512 kbps option, delivering full-motion video quality.
ViewStation's full-duplex audio with noise suppression and echo cancellation allows the system to adapt to the characteristics and size of your conference room almost instantly, for maximum sound clarity. An extendible microphone provides additional flexibility and sound quality.
Putting video and sound together, ViewStation's unique voice-tracking camera automatically moves to find and focus on the person who is speaking. The hand-held remote control also lets you tilt, pan, and zoom as desired without getting up to reposition the camera by hand. Together, it makes for smooth, natural, effective videoconferencing.
High-Quality, Full-Featured Video and Audio Combined in an Easy-to-Use, Affordable System
ViewStation also features an embedded Web server and Ethernet hub architecture that provides an Intranet or Internet interface along with your videoconferencing interface. This unique architecture lets you access remote system management and diagnostic capabilities any time, from anywhere. It also allows you to upload simple software upgrades via your business Intranet or the Internet.
In addition, the Web-based server has an integrated presentation system that makes it easy to share Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentations during a videoconference. With just a click of a Web browser, a user can upload and display a presentation from either a remotely connected desktop PC or a laptop directly connected to the ViewStation unit. Remote conference participants connected via the Internet or Intranet can simultaneously view the presentation.
It's a convenient, reliable way to share materials among all conference participants, enhancing collaboration and efficiency. |
