The VCON Conference Bridge 2000 (VCB2000) combines traditional multipoint videoconferencing and streaming into a single, low cost solution. This allows interactive conferences to be broadcasted to hundreds or thousands of passive participants via bandwidth-efficient multicasting. In addition to common IP MCU features like voice-activated switching and continuous presence, VCB 2000 also supports more advanced features like chair control, cascading and wide-band audio with transcoding. With an embedded gatekeeper and remote management agent, the VCB 2000 is shipped as an integrated solution in a rack-mount engine. Scalability up to 64 ports per server gives plenty of expandability and investment protection.
