Managemnt Systems - Software Servers Products
Media Xchange ManagerŪ (MXM) The MXM is a software-based solution that runs on a Windows 2003/2000 server. From a remote console, an administrator can perform centralized management, configuration and administrative functions. This multi-vendor and multi-protocol, solution provides functions that make videoconferencing as simple as dialing a telephone. As such, the MXM acts as a Video-PBX for the enterprise and at the service provider's premises. This kind of product functions as the backbone of every large video conferencing installation.
Video Conferencing Bridge (VCB V.5) The VCB is a software videoconferencing MCU that can be purchased in configurations supporting between eight (8) to sixty-four (64) participants. The VCB enables both split-screen continuous presence calls and voice-activated switching calls. The VCB is bundled with the MXM and a web-based scheduling application, all of which is packaged into a rack-mount server under the name VCB V.5.
Advances Encryption Server (AES) Emblaze-VCON Advances Encryption Server (AES) extends the benefits of IP-based communications safely beyond the edges of the managed data network. The Advanced Encryption Server fully encrypts videoconferences (both point-to-point and multipoint) or other data transmissions across public or private networks. This server works in conjunction with the Emblaze-VCON Encryption Client in order to fully encrypt videoconferences or other data transmissions across public or private networks. Authentication, signaling streams, and media streams only pass between specifically authorized devices - all fully encrypted where needed. The Advanced Encryption Server supports DES, 3DES and AES Encryption standards on peer-to-peer tunnels between authenticated users.
IGC 2000 IGC is Emblaze-VCON’s audio conferencing bridge. It is highly scalable up to one hundred and twenty (120) ports per server and incorporates several features that aim to deliver a "same room" environment. For example, users in the conference are able to open up private whisper or sidebar conversations without interrupting the rest of the conference. IGC conferences can be controlled by each individual user via either a web-based application or via a Blackberry PDA device. The IGC can be connected either to a PBX system or directly to a wide-area network.
Network equipment To supply Emblaze-VCON’s customers with complete videoconferencing solutions, EVC must address the customer's needs for multipoint conferencing, interconnecting ISDN and IP-based systems and network administration and management capabilities. EVC sells multipoint control units, or MCUs, which are used to connect three (3) or more videoconferencing systems into single conference using technologies such as voice-activated video and audio switching, so that the participants can see and hear the person currently speaking. EVC also sells video gateways that allow interconnection of IP-based and ISDN networks.
This allows multiple IP-based systems to share a limited number of ISDN lines for connection outside an organization's network or allows ISDN-based systems to call into an organization and connect with their IP-based systems. In addition, EVC sells gate-keeping software that controls the access and bandwidth utilized in videoconferencing systems on an IP network. This software controls access to network resources such as bandwidth, MCUs and gateways. EVC purchases and resells MCUs and gateways manufactured by RadVision. By offering this equipment with its videoconferencing products, EVC believes it provides its customers with complete networking solutions.
Software Development Kit
HD Development Kit (HDDK) The HD development Kit allows software developers to rapidly integrate its visual communications technologies into new or existing applications using an advanced HD platform. EVC believes its development kit could be used by organizations in industries such as banking, financial and real-estate services, remote consulting, e-commerce, distance learning, security, surveillance, telemedicine, travel and call or help centers.
