Asterisk Based Video Conferencing Live Demonstration

http://www.xorcom com - At the AstriCon 2011 event, Xorcom demonstrated a new multi-point high quality video and voice conferencing capability. It has been integrated into the Xorcom open source IP PBX to bring cost-effective video and voice conferencing functionality to small and medium sized businesses.

This live demonstration is presented by Avi Fisher, CTO at Surf Communication Solutions ("SURF"), an industry leader in high-capacity processing solutions for real-time multimedia communication systems, and simultaneously translated to Spanish by Ariel Mapelman of Xorcom.

Today most businesses recognize the advantages of video conferencing, but many do not implement such systems because of the total cost of the existing solutions. In contrast to other video conferencing solutions currently in the market, the SURF-Xorcom product enables organizations to conduct high quality multi-point video conferencing at an affordable price. The solution integrates seamlessly with Xorcom's award-winning Asterisk based business telephony solutions, which support from 30 to 1000 users. SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) signaling ensures compatibility with a wide variety of endpoints, including the leading IP-based video phones as well as soft phones, significantly reducing the total cost of the solution.

Following are the key features of the new product:

* High Definition Voice and Video: Resolutions of up to 720p and wideband HD VoIP are supported
* Unmatched Quality: Low latency, high quality voice and video for different resolutions
* Smooth Transcoding: Transcoding and transrating between different endpoints with unmatched media quality
* Complete Control: Real time conference control via Web management or DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) codes
* Seamless Interoperability: Built on a solid media processing foundation and providing standard based SIP protocol to connect different devices
* Video IVR Support: IVR (Interactive Voice Response) flow for participants with voice only, and video IVVR (Interactive Voice / Video Response) for the complete video experience
* Intuitive Web Management: Full control provided to all levels of participants, from conference moderators to invitees

The product will achieve general availability in Q1/2012.
