Radvision, a provider of video network infrastructure and developer tools for unified visual communications over IP, 3G, and IMS networks, has added new enhancements to its Scopia Conferencing Platform, which now provides full integration with IBM Lotus Sametime 8.5.
The company enhanced its IBM integration to fully support Sametime 8.5 through the Scopia Conferencing Platform. Scopia Elite, the centerpiece of the company’s Scopia Conferencing Platform is a standards-based MCU to deliver the combination of 1080p, 720p, and H.264 scalable video coding, yielding high definition support.
According to Radvision, the Sametime 8.5 integration offers benefits including, high definition multiparty video conferencing up to 1080p, video layouts to view multiple participants simultaneously, connectivity to telepresence, video conferencing room and desktop systems, along with 3G mobile and standard phones, and error resiliency with H.264 SVC connections between MCUs.
Roberto Giamagli, general manager of networking business unit at Radvision, said: “This integration places the high definition conferencing and connectivity capabilities of the Scopia platform directly into the hands of Sametime 8.5 users. Scopia delivers to Sametime the functionality and connectivity to existing video conferencing deployments that many administrators consider mandatory.”
