Radvision, a technologies provider for unified visual communications over IP, 3G and IMS networks, has released Scopia Control for the Scopia XT1000 HD room system, an Apple iPad application for control of video conferencing room systems.
The company said that its new application provides a highly intuitive user interface for the newly introduced Scopia XT1000 HD video conferencing room system and enables participants to join meetings from the integrated conference room calendar with a single click.
Scopia Control allows to add additional participants to a meeting by accessing a corporate directory; and also enables to mute microphones, select video sources, control near-end and far-end PTZ cameras and start presenting.
Radvision said that its Apple iPad application facilitates to moderate meetings through the meeting participants list, mute the microphones of other participants, stop their cameras or even disconnect other participants.
It also allows to change the video layout, choose the number of other attendees each participant sees, tart or pause conference recording or streaming, lock the meeting, and extend or end the meeting.
The firm said that Scopia Control also facilitates to view presentations, spreadsheets, documents and images shared in a video conference with H.239 interoperable data collaboration.
In addition, it also allows to immediately review previously shared data and catch-up from a late arrival, or spend additional time on critical points in materials presented without disturbing other conference participants.
Roberto Giamagli, general manager of networking business unit for Radvision, said: "With Scopia Control, all aspects of joining, participating and managing a meeting are presented in a consistent and elegant interface on the iPad. It’s so simple to use, that once users try Scopia Control they will never want to go back to the standard remote again."
