Custom-built applications in three modes

vPDK enables the developer to create custom-built videoconferencing applications in three
modes, depending on the hardware connected to the PC. With VCON’s ViGO

™

attached, a vPDK­based application becomes a hardware-accelerated conferencing client with business quality. With
a USB camera, a vPDK-based application is a low-cost software-only solution, with full
videoconferencing capabilities. For the traveling user, with no camera attached, a vPDK-based
application Viewer+ mode provides two-way audio and one-way video, enabling remote
participation in important conferences and broadcasts while maintaining business quality.

Integrated with the MXM

vPDK developed applications must be developed in a VCON Media Xchange Manager

™

(MXM) environment where the clients that are developed register to the MXM to receive
remote management services. For this reason, the vPDK package includes a 5-user MXM and
10 VCON vPoint client seats. The vPDK developer can take advantage of other MXM features
such as video call transfer, video call forward, simplified gateway dialing, directory services
and ad-hoc conferencing services.

Dynamic, light software videoconferencing
applications can custom-developed quickly and
easily with the VCON vPDK.
