TANDBERG Enhances Movi PC Video Conferencing

TANDBERG has announced new advanced capabilities for Movi, its business-quality PC video solution. Movi delivers the total package for mobile video collaboration by coupling the ability to share content with its video and audio capabilities and centralized management.

In combination with the TANDBERG Video Communication Server, Movi enables any PC to become a business-quality video system that connects users to any other standards-based H.323 and SIP video and telepresence system. Paired with the TANDBERG PrecisionHD USB camera, Movi enables high-definition 720p 30fps video to ensure the highest resolution for the best call experience. This means when calling into a telepresence or video conference meeting, Movi will operate with superior HD quality to provide the best visual experience for all participants. This solution can be deployed to thousands in minutes with TANDBERG’s large-scale provisioning solution and extends an enterprise’s video network to enable cost-effective, easy-to-use video, the company said.

“Businesses can no longer be limited by their office locations. Effective mobile collaboration is a necessity for decision making and responsiveness in today’s economy,” said Fredrik Halvorsen, TANDBERG CEO. “Movi enables people anywhere in the world to come together face-to-face using business-quality PC video while sharing content with colleagues, customers and suppliers. This allows the legions of remote and dispersed workers to become equal members of the global video community.”

Movi helps ensure remote productivity and seamless enterprise mobility through real-time content sharing and contact-presence functionality. The separate video and control interfaces coupled with the use of directories make access to real-time presence information for other Movi users and initiating a video call as simple as a mouse click. Best of all, interoperability with standards-compliant multipoint control units ensures that Movi is not limited to single point-to-point connections like other PC-based solutions. It allows users to simultaneously connect with multiple users on different devices, optimizing call quality and experience for all. Moreover, picture-in-picture capabilities for content sharing and self view provide flexibility to see who you are talking to while collaborating or sharing content. Movi also takes full advantage of TANDBERG’s intelligent network features like firewall traversal, multipoint conferencing, recording and archiving, and the ability to connect with legacy ISDN services.
