for remote education and other vertical markets. Users can invite any number
of participants to an ad-hoc or prescheduled conference at any bandwidth,

and data algorithms, ensuring that calls involving standards-based
videoconferencing endpoints connect and operate smoothly. The VCBProHD
is scalable from 6 to 36 ports and now offers a unique and configurable
cascading capability across multiple VCBs for larger conferences.

Advanced Management System and Gatekeeper

The VCBProHD includes an embedded MXM, Emblaze-VCONs award winning,
full-feature management tool, for exceptional video network management
and total gateway functionality for legacy and advanced technologies. From
a single console in the office, home or on the road, it provides the ability

policies on any videoconferencing client in the organization. The MXM also
offers a full suite of tools for centrally managing and administering bandwidth
requirements as well as QoS prioritization for each endpoint, a billing engine
and reporting capabilities. Full video telephony features include: follow-me,
forward when busy, no answer, pick-up, easy dialing to systems outside the
organization and directory listing.

WMV Recording and Streaming

Now offering high definition, WMV session recording, the VCBProHD enables
every videoconference session to be recorded, stored and forwarded, allowing
even absent colleagues to remain fully updated instantaneously and providing
definitive session records. The VCBProHD also contains the unique WMV
streaming feature, which allows live streaming of point-to-point or multipoint
conferences while hundreds or thousands of other users can watch the
stream through a simple viewer application.

Using Emblaze-VCONs free-of-charge Broadcast Viewer, anyone on the
network can see what sessions are being broadcast and can view the
appropriate one.
