vPoint HD

Bringing HD video to your desk…

vPoint HD is Emblaze-VCON's latest software-only client for
personal conferencing

vPoint HD offers high definition audio and video up to 720p and 1080p*, and includes
features and functionality that extend far beyond the capabilities of a desktop
videoconferencing application. vPoint HD offers multiple media transmitting capabilities
for video, audio and data. Among vPoint HD’s advanced capabilities is the ability to
send and receive video and data streams simultaneously, using Emblaze-VCON’s
DualStreamtm technology. Additional streaming capability, using Emblaze-VCON’s
Simulcasttm, allows vPoint HD to chair or participate in corporate broadcasts.

vPoint HD is a versatile, key application for any PC or laptop user, in organizations of
any size. It is available in three different models: Basic, Professional and Executive,
to suit varying corporate requirements. A special TV Broadcaster model is also
available.

Using the latest H.264video standard, vPoint HD sends and receives high definition
quality video. Users can participate in videoconferences at data rates ranging from 64
Kbps to 4 Mbps, depending on the available bandwidth. The superb high definition
image quality provided by 4CIF and 720p technology enables the sharpest images in
natural color and full motion, even with a simple webcam.

vPoint HD’s audio features include full duplex echo cancellation, automatic noise
suppression and wide-band audio in low bit-rate calls, all combined to deliver crisp
audio to the desktop.

Superior Collaboration Environment

vPoint HD allows users to share data from their desktop with the remote side. Various
forms of sharing are possible such as desktop, file, window and region sharing, utilizing
a detachable data window. When deployed in conjunction with Emblaze-VCON’s
Media Xchange Manager®, (MXM), users can invite a 3rd party into their conference,
and everyone will be placed automatically into a multipoint conference bridge. Other
video telephony features, such as video call transfer and video call forward are also
possible when an MXM server is used.
