...up to 26 different layouts!
PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP)
You can open up to
2 smaller windows
in a full screen image.
These portions of the
monitor can display
your image and another
site simultaneously
during the meeting..
New
Aethra
MCUs and
Gateways
The images in the windows can easily change thanks
to the dynamic drag and drop repositioning, with the
main window always showing the active speaker.
TEXT AND BORDER OVERLAY
You can overlay each image in a video conference
display with text - such as the participant name accompanied by border images - such as a
company logo to clearly identify each participant.
Border Overlay
New
Aethra

WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT
The MCU can be remotely
configurated, managed and
administrated via web.
You can easily set up ad-hoc
or scheduled conferences to
collaborate and share
resources.
New
Aethra
MCUs and
Gateways
MANAGEMENT
Cascading and clustering capabilities allows to join
separate conferences in one unified conference.
In this way it’s possible to increase the number of
partecipants to your videoconferences, reducing
network bandwidth usage, improving scalability and
simplifying the management.
unified multiparty conference

DIAL IN / DIAL OUT
Users dial-in to participate
to a conference call.
The MCU will automatically
set up the conference
without participants being
attended by an operator.
Dial in
A conference operator
dial out to invite
participants to join the
conference.

Dial out
ANY MEDIA
The MCU supports all the multipoint audio, video and
data protocols, for unrivaled quality of your conferences.
The Advanced Audio Transcoding
between the different protocols and
networks and the recording and
streaming capabilities add value to your
multiparty meetings.
Video calls can reach up to 2MB
H.239 Dual Video allows to view two
different streams for video and data
at the same time.
New
Aethra
MCUs and
Gateways
T.120 support enables two
or more users to share data
and applications.
ANY NETWORK
The MCU ensures
interoperability with existing
and emerging protocols such
as H.323, SIP, V.35 and 3G324M for wireless devices.
New
Aethra
MCUs and
Gateways
Bandwidth optimization of
symmetric and asymmetric
streams allows to save on
network resources avoiding
to send video streams of
participants not displayed
on screen.
Downspeeding
enables the
completion and
mantaining of a
call during loss of
ISDN B channels
SECURITY
You can protect the privacy of
your meeting and your data
thanks to password and
encryption.
Password regards several
levels of each MCU, from
administration to configuration,
from chairman control to joining
a conference.
New
Aethra
MCUs and
Gateways
The support of encryption
protocols (AES and DES) allows
you to easily choose which level
of security do you want for your
conference, without the need to
add new hardware.
