Developed with VCON Hardware

VCON has a wide range of videoconferencing systems including the IP-only Escort, the
USB-based ViGO

TM

, the IP/ISDN Cruiser 150 and 384 and the Monitor boards, which are
incorporated into VCON’s MediaConnect group systems. Since a VDK developed application
can run on a multitude of VCON’s endpoints, developers can create integrated solutions that
include group, desktop and portable videoconferencing systems, all with a common user
interface. Since no royalty is assessed on the software created with the VDK, it can be
loaded on multiple VCON endpoints for sale.

The MXM Difference

As part of an integrated VCON Media Xchange Manager™(MXM) solution, VDK applications
take on additional functionality. Some of the OCX controls in the VDK are specific to functions
granted by the MXM, like video call transfer, ad-hoc conferencing, and remote endpoint control.
Using the MXM to manage a custom-tailored application, like telemedicine or security, increases
the value of the VDK-developed software as well as the manageability of the application for
network administrators.

The VCON Development Kit can be used to
customize unique applications for VCON
videoconferencing systems
