Video conferencing and telepresence provider Radvision (an Avaya company) aims to enable real-time video conferencing among SMBs with its Scopia Elite 6000 Series multipoint control unit (MCU).
“Video conferencing is becoming more pervasive due to an increasing number of video-enabled devices,” states a Radvision press release submitted to ChannelPro-SMB. “As a result, there is growing demand for higher quality video and greater ability to support more participants and conferences as well as a mixture of endpoints.”
The company says its new Scopia Elite 6000 Series MCU meets that growing demand through “full 1080p, 60fps high-definition video communication” with minimal bandwidth requirements.
The new Scopia Elite 6000 Series, which is the latest addition to the Elite Series MCU portfolio, features dual 1080p/60fps channels for video and content, simultaneous H.264 High Profile for bandwidth efficiency, H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC), and multi-stream immersive telepresence connectivity.
The Scopia Elite 6000 Series’ hybrid architecture delivers support for 40 full 1080p HD ports on a single 1U system. Its “Virtual MCU” management solution provides an intelligent, distributed multi-party conferencing architecture.
Video information overlays, along with easy conference creation and entry through the on-screen auto attendant, are designed to make attending conferences simple via Scopia. Users can moderate meetings through onscreen menus compatible with any endpoint or via the Scopia Control iPad app. They can mute participants, change video layouts, start and pause recording, and invite other participants.
For end users, Scopia Desktop and Scopia Mobile, both of which are supported on the Elite 6000 Series MCU, enable one-click-to-video options and an intuitive interface for video conferencing on the go.
Radvision has also announced Scopia Management System, which features Google Maps integration, multi-tenancy, concierge services, and scalability of up to 400,000 users. Additionally, the Scopia Elite 6000 supports the recently announced Scopia TIP Gateway.
