Cisco/RADVISION Solution Features (V 5.6)

  • Connects Heterogeneous Environments -- including room-based devices for traditional video conferencing, desktop users with software clients, Cisco TelePresence, Cisco Video Telephony, Rich Media conferencing clients (MeetingPlace, WebEx).
  • Supports H.320, H.323, SIP, and SCCP (the only MCU that works with Cisco Unified Communication Manager in Cisco IP telephony architecture).
  • Optimized capacity and port costs for different types of endpoints (HD, SD, desktop). Flexibility to distribute processing resources that are not being fully used by personal or desktop video conferencing endpoints that do not require high connection rates.
    If the available bandwidth is not fully used, the number of available ports automatically increases, providing a reduced cost per port.
    Cisco’s innovative approach to HD processing cost-effectively provides both a protected true HD experience and optimized, scalable solution for all participants – designed for today’s real world deployments.
  • Distributed Deployments Support – “Virtual MCU”. Also known as Auto MCU Cascading. A distributed approach with CUVC-M for conferencing resources’ virtualization in multiple locations for WAN bandwidth saving. Users are automatically and seamlessly connected to specific MCUs according to locations, network topology, and rules set by administrators. Single number access for participants across multiple locations.
  • Enterprise Directory Integration for easy database and address book maintenance and user provisioning.
  • High definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) interoperability with HD (720p) continuous presence.
  • High Quality - High Definition over the desktop; improved video frame rates in HD; improved lower bandwidth resolutions.
  • Streaming and recording capabilities available over Desktop besides video conferencing.
  • Virtual Room - Video version of ‘Meet-Me’ conferences. Each user is assigned a specific meeting ID as their personal room number that allows him/her to invite people to meet there on video ad-hoc with no scheduling needed.
  • Video auto-attendant in multiple languages with leading number support, IP dialing support. This system-wide IVR functionality supports distribution architecture with single number access.
  • H.239 Content Sharing and DuoVideo for presentations.
  • Collaboration capabilities (chatting, annotation, moderation, roster, etc) over Desktop.
  • Robust Security
    • H.2355 AES/DES encryption for secure conferencing.
    • Password protected Web GUI user access with multiple levels(administrator/moderator/user).
    • PIN protected conferences.
    • HTTPS for secured management.
  • Scheduling and Resource Reservations via Web interface or user calendar plug-in.
  • Network Management
    • Embedded H.323 gatekeeper functionality.
    • Embedded SIP B2BUA functionality.
    • Supports multiple devices for load balancing and failover.
    • User configurable dial-plan.
    • Full H.245 routing and control for call monitoring and authorization.
    • Complete network status and statistics.
    • Network-wide view of calls and conferences.
    • Central terminal configuration.
    • Display of events and errors received from managed elements.
    • Easy web-based scheduling and ad-hoc video conferencing.
  • Call Detail Reports (CDRs) for billing and reporting.
  • All-in-one Solution. Many features are software-based that can reside on the same server. The whole solution is compact, simple, and cost effective.

Video is the most effective communication mechanism there is. But it can’t be video by itself. It has to be telepresence and unified communications.
