BrightCom has released a new ClearView Desktop Video Conferencing offering, which provides video conferencing for the personal desktop with integration for telepresence, room video conferencing, and mobile cart video conferencing systems.
The new offering allows desktop users to connect to the company’s Lumina Telepresence and ClearView Room and Mobile Cart Video Conferencing offerings as well as SIP enabled video conferencing systems.
The offering is powered by BrightCom’s Visual Collaboration System (VCS), a network based, software driven conferencing infrastructure that delivers video, audio and a full set of web conferencing capabilities. It allows desktop meeting participants to log into the VCS online meeting environment and connect to other desktops, conference rooms and telepresence suites.
According to BrightCom, desktop participants will be able to use the VCS system to present data in its native format, allowing for real-time collaboration and markup of information such diverse formats as Adobe PDF, PowerPoint and Microsoft Office programs.

These solutions allow anyone in a business to push the big green button on the BrightCom remote to connect to whomever and wherever they want instantly.
