The Avaya Video Collaboration Solution for IP Office delivers advanced
video conferencing capabilities at a scale, price point and simplicity
designed to fit a small to midsized business. The solution integrates a
specialized version of a Scopia XT video conferencing room system with
IP Office. The base system, sold as an appliance, includes Scopia
Desktop and Mobile server software and creates a virtual meeting room on
an organization’s network that supports up to 9 participants. Scopia
Desktop and Scopia Mobile video clients are available for free download
enabling remote user connectivity, and joining a video session is as
simple as clicking a link in an email.
The base system is unique in that the virtual meeting room server can
be easily upgraded to a full featured Scopia XT HD Video Conferencing
Room System by adding a room system “enabler” including a PTZ camera,
microphone and license key.
Organizations can use the Avaya Video Collaboration Solution as a video
room system in a conference room, and as a virtual meeting room on
their network, enabling participants to join collaborative sessions with
virtually any device and easily connect to other video room systems.
Features and Benefits
- Intuitive and Easy-to-Use: Connecting with others is designed for end user, self-service access with little or no training required. Participants join the virtual meeting room with their device of choice – PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or video conferencing room system from Avaya or Cisco, Polycom, Lifesize, etc.
- Easy Implementation: Installation and management are simplified, and no specialized IT skills are required. Once installed, meeting participants click on a link to connect to the virtual meeting room. Remote participants download the desktop or mobile app, and HD video collaboration is a reality on nearly any device.
- Desktop, Mobile, HD Video Room System: Meeting participants use the laptops, desktops and mobile devices they already own to collaborate from almost anywhere with the included software clients and downloadable apps. The video room system configuration is well equipped and includes dual HD channels for live video and content, HD audio and simultaneous H.264 High Profile for bandwidth efficiency along with Scalable Video Coding (SVC) for error resiliency. The PTZ camera offers 5x optical zoom and wide-angle capability for viewing details or an entire group. A range of affordable options is available to further enhance the room system experience including full HD 1080p support, control via an Apple iPad and conference recording.
- Rich Collaboration: Everyone sees all meeting participants simultaneously with continuous presence (Hollywood squares) video. Participants can easily share their screen or individual applications and highlight elements of presentations, spreadsheets, documents and images with annotation tools. Standards-based content sharing helps ensure collaboration interoperability with any desktop, video conferencing room system or mobile device.
- Affordable All-in-one Solution: Multi-party BYOD and HD video conferencing room system capabilities in a single, affordable and easy to deploy solution. Freely distributed desktop and mobile video clients for PCs, Macs, iOS and Android devices enable those inside and outside an organization to easily join a video meeting, while low-bandwidth video minimizes network impact and costs.
