The Strata Video Communication Solution (VCSTM) 2.0 is designed to provide Strata users with

point-to-point 3-party video conference, 3-party collaboration (desktop and applications sharing), 3-party file transfer, and 3-party message board capabilities to make video communication and collaboration more powerful than ever!

VCS 2.0 has many Graphical User Interface (GUI) enhancements. It provides a more valuable and complete Strata IP solution. QoS is included and the GUI on VCSManager has changed to make configuration and VCS setup more intuitive.

Visual Collaboration

3-party Video conferencing takes productivity to a new level, allowing three parties to see, hear, interact and collaborate on projects together, no matter where they are physically located. VCS provides a way to conduct remote virtual meetings, work group discussions, and much more.

During a Voice conference, any of the three parties can initiate application sharing, edit a file, send and receive files, and send text to a message board. These great tools will dramatically increase productivity and quality of work, while reducing the cost of business travel.

Try VCS for FREE

Strata CIX/MAS customers can also enjoy VCS 2.0 FREE with the same 90-day trial license offer as with VCS 1.0.

Just order and activate the trial license on your MAS to try VCS. After the free trial period expires, VCS permanent licenses can be purchased. The MAS requires a memory upgrade to 1GB to support VCS.

VCS Features

The following are highlights of some VCS 2.0 features:

•	Point-to-Point 3-party Video Conferencing – A cost effective solution, multi-party video conferencing is achieved without any additional hardware.

•	Session Member List (SML) – Displays VCS members who are logged on and have established voice communication with you (screen shown right). You can easily select members from this list to begin any VCS

collaborative sessions.

•	File Transfer – Users can send and receive multiple files to other VCS users.

•	Message Board – Users can post text and chat on a message board, as an alternative to communicating verbally.

•	Support for QoS – If the customer’s network equipment is end to end, Diffserv Priority control can be enabled for all the clients from VCSManager. This system setting will give Video, Collaboration and File Transfer media a higher priority.

•	Video Setting Control – Similar to QoS setting, the VCS administrator can control the upper limit of video bandwidth via VCSManager for all the VCS clients.

•	Fully integrated with the Strata CIX system – VCS Server software is pre-installed on the Strata Media Application Server (MAS). VCS Windows XP client software easily extends the Strata CIX voice user’s multi-media experience.

•	3-party Collaboration – 3 VCS users can share their desktop, applications or documents. All users can edit the same materials while in session (one editing at a time).

VCS functionality is integrated with the Strata CIX telephony capabilities, with features specifically tailored to handle video telephony, including:

•	Video Hold

•	Video Transfer

•	Video Forward

•	Station Hunting

•	Video Park/Pickup (local node only)
