AVC 500
™
Multipoint Conferencing
AVC 500™is a cutting-edge rack-mount codec that provides the
highest quality videoconferencing for customized deployment in
rooms of all sizes. AVC 500 provides XGA (DVI-I) input and output
ports for simultaneous dual-stream video for live PC presentations.
The integrated Multipoint Conferencing Unit (MCU) connects up to 9
sites in mixed mode (ISDN, IP-H.323 and IP-SIP), with convenient
dial-out and dial-in (Meet Me) configuration. Continuous Presence
feature enables participants at all sites to view each other simultaneously.
Multiple Network Connectivity
Multiple network connections are supported, including: ISDN BRI
and PRI, IP-H.323, IP-SIP and leased networks.
Wideband audio
The first codec to support both 14-kHz (ITU and ISO) wideband audio
codecs adopted in videoconferencing.
Simultaneous Dual-Stream Video
Convenient XGA input and output ports provide one-step PC plug-in
simultaneous dual-stream video and live PC presentations with
enhanced images.
Multipurpose
The AVC 500 can be integrated into existing conference rooms with
audio and video facilities or customized solutions. It can also be
implemented in vertical applications.
This rack-mount codec
enables customised
videoconferencing
applications regardless
of room size.
Thanks to multiple
audio, video and
network connections,
it creates a fully interactive
business environment from
your local audio and
video equipment.
