25 Aug 2009
Mumbai: Audio visual firm Actis Technologies has introduced the country's first ever high definition mobile video-conferencing solution, the Actis MVU series.
The self-sufficient, integrated videoconferencing is mounted on a trolley with castors one system can be used to serve multiple rooms as the system can be moved from room-to-room on without disassembly.
The MVU series videoconferencing trolley offers high-definition (1080p at 30-frames per-second) viewing experience and includes an integrated display (single or dual monitors), camera, codec, mike and speakers in the unit.
Preconfigured to make videoconferencing calls within minutes (with ISDN and IP support), the MVU series is extremely cost-effective because of the greater bandwidth flexibility it offers and its adherence to open standards. Ideal screen height enables excellent eye-contact between participants and a powerful remote driven interface makes operation extremely intuitive.
The Actis MVU series is targeted at the telepresence and video conferencing industry, which is fast becoming a powerful business tool in India. While the global industry is poised to grow into a $4.7 billion by 2014, Asia Pacific is expected to contribute $1.7 billion, a recent Frost & Sullivan report revealed (See: Video conferencing a hit in recession, influenza-stricken times)
Abhimanyu Gupta, director, Actis Technologies, said, "Several clients wanted more flexibility from their video conferencing systems, hence we addressed this by designing a mobile system that delivers quality, flexibility, seamless collaboration and ease-of-use."
"Our new mobile Videoconferencing System provides customers with a great degree of flexibility because they have point-to-point and multi-point capability, can adapt to various degrees of bandwidth availability and use open standards to provide easy compatibility with existing systems. Most importantly however, it allows video collaboration to move beyond dedicated conferencing rooms."
While the Actis MVU series allows easy integration with any existing or old video conferencing solution, it functions well with as little as 128 Kbps upto 6 Mbps bandwidth speeds, ensuring cost-effectiveness in operation and real time PC content sharing.
The new MVUs will be priced in the range of Rs7 lakh and Rs14 lakh, when it hits the market this September.
