MCU
NewAethra
MCUs and Gateways
It divides the video monitor into up to 4 quadrants.
CONTINUOUS PRESENCE
Athens (h.14:00)
London (h.12:00)
Moscow (h.15:00)
Rome (h.13:00)
It allows to see simultaneously each participant of the several sites involved in the conferencing.

PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP)
The images in the windows can easily change thanks to the dynamic drag and drop repositioning, with the main window always showing the active speaker.
You can open up to 2 smaller windows in a full screen image.
These portions of the monitor can display your image and another site simultaneously during the meeting..
NewAethra

TEXT AND BORDER OVERLAY
You can overlay each image in a video conference display with text - such as the participant name - accompanied by border images - such as a company logo to clearly identify each participant.

WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT
The MCU can be remotely configurated, managed and administrated via web.
You can easily set up ad-hoc or scheduled conferences to collaborate and share resources.
NewAethra
MCUs and Gateways
MANAGEMENT
Cascading and clustering capabilities allows to join separate conferences in one unified conference.
In this way it’s possible to increase the number of partecipants to your videoconferences, reducing network bandwidth usage, improving scalability and simplifying the management.
unified multiparty conference

DIAL IN / DIAL OUT
Users dial-in to participate to a conference call.
The MCU will automatically set up the conference without participants being attended by an operator.
Dial in
Dial out
A conference operator dial out to invite participants to join the conference.

ANY MEDIA
The MCU supports all the multipoint audio, video and data protocols, for unrivaled quality of your conferences.
The Advanced Audio Transcoding between the different protocols and networks and the recording and streaming capabilities add value to your multiparty meetings.
Video calls can reach up to 2MB
H.239 Dual Video allows to view two different streams for video and data at the same time.
T.120 support enables two or more users to share data and applications.
NewAethra
MCUs and Gateways
ANY NETWORK
The MCU ensures interoperability with existing and emerging protocols such as H.323, SIP, V.35 and 3G-324M for wireless devices.
Downspeeding enables the completion and mantaining of a call during loss of ISDN B channels
Bandwidth optimization of symmetric and asymmetric streams allows to save on network resources avoiding to send video streams of participants not displayed on screen.

SECURITY
You can protect the privacy of your meeting and your data thanks to password and encryption.
Password regards several levels of each MCU, from administration to configuration, from chairman control to joining a conference.
The support of encryption protocols (AES and DES) allows you to easily choose which level of security do you want for your conference, without the need to add new hardware.
