David Shimell, Sales
Director for VideoCentric, said, “we
are very excited about the features and
performance of VCON’s new HD series,
particularly for use in Universities, Schools,
Colleges and Corporate Training environments.
When combined with a SMARTBoard and Data
Projector, the HD5000 provides one-touch
speed dialling for teachers and trainers
as well as a complete Rich Media platform
for internet-access and streaming of classroom
material to remote classes and individual
PCs”.
Shimell adds “on
their own, the features of the HD series
are very impressive, but when managed by
the MXM (VCON’s IP management platform)
which is supplied with a minimum of 10 free
software-only desktop videoconferencing
codec's known as V-Point, they become part
of the most complete Video-over-IP solution
introduced to date”. MXM management
features include remote administration,
directory services, simplified gateway dialling,
software MCU option, video-PBX, unicast
& multicast streaming as well as secure
firewall traversal for voice and video clients.
VideoCentric will begin
demonstrating HD3000 and HD5000 in March
2004 and will offer installations and technical
support for the new HD range in the UK and
Middle East as well as for the existing
Cruiser, ViGO, Falcon and MXM systems which
it also demonstrates.
VideoCentric’s technical staff have
worked with VCON products for nearly 10
years and will deliver training courses
to Resellers and Integrators as well as
to Corporate Network/System Administrators.
