Company Will Exhibit New Solution to Connect Remote Users, Advanced High Definition Video Conferencing Capability, and Video Integration for IBM Lotus Sametime
ORLANDO, Florida and TEL AVIV, March 5, 2007 -- RADVISION (Nasdaq: RVSN), a leading provider of video network infrastructure and developer tools for unified visual communications over IP, 3G, and emerging next-generation IMS networks, today announced that during March 5th – 7th at the VoiceCon exhibition in Orlando, RADVISION will demonstrate multiple technology advancements and significant enhancements for unified visual communications.
At VoiceCon booth 1135, RADVISION will be showcasing:
-
The introduction of SCOPIATM Desktop - a revolutionary new way to connect traditional room based video conferencing with desktop and remote users.
-
Advanced HD (High Definition) conferencing.
-
Innovative video integration with IBM Lotus Sametime.
The Introduction of SCOPIA Desktop
Until now, video conferencing has been mostly confined to the conference room. Users have benefited from the value of voice, video and data collaboration between conference rooms but there has been no simple way to include users at their desktops or remote users on laptops that did not involve complex software installations, expensive licensing fees or firewall traversal problems. RADVISION’s SCOPIA Desktop eliminates these issues. It provides an extension to any room system based videoconferencing deployment by allowing remote users to connect to a conference and fully participate with audio, video and data collaboration as if they were all in the same room. SCOPIA Desktop uses a freely distributable web based plug-in that can be used by anyone inside or outside the enterprise firewall. It is now simple to connect to and fully participate in meetings no matter where users are – at their desk, at a customer location or in a hotel across the world.
Advanced HD (High Definition) Conferencing
Following on from RADVISION’s market leading support for High Definition (HD) video conferencing, RADVISION will demonstrate support of High Definition Continuous Presence that will allow conferences with a mix of HD and Standard Definition (SD) endpoints. This latest technology bridges the thousands of SD devices to the new world of HD. It allows each endpoint user to participate in the conference at the highest quality the endpoint is capable of without degrading every device to the lowest common denominator and thus maximize their enjoyment of seeing everyone using Continuous Presence.
Innovative Video Integration with IBM Lotus Sametime
RADVISION brings advanced conferencing capability to IBM’s unified communications and collaboration product, Lotus Sametime. By adding RADVISION’s unique multi-window video and audio plug-in to Lotus Sametime, users can escalate Lotus Sametime instant messaging chat sessions into full multiparty audio and video sessions and extend those conferences to other devices such as standards-based video conferencing systems, 3G videophones or virtually any telephone or cell phone available today.
"RADVISION continues to develop powerful new visual collaboration solutions to support the advanced conferencing environments being developed by our market-leading partners, including Cisco’s high definition and Telepresence offerings and IBM’s Lotus Sametime,” said Bob Romano, RADVISION’s VP of Enterprise Marketing. “With our introduction today of SCOPIA Desktop and our advanced SCOPIA platform with High Definition Continuous Presence, we have taken our support of our partners a major step forward in providing what the market is demanding for combined voice, video and data communications solutions."
