TANDBERG Movi PC Video Conferencing Breaks Down the Barriers to Mobile Collaboration
TOKYO, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire-Asia-AsiaNet/ --

Road warriors and teleworkers can now experience the same HD video and content 
sharing as colleagues in the office 

    Today, TANDBERG announced new advanced capabilities for Movi, its 
business-quality PC video solution, for collaboration without boundaries. Movi 
delivers the total package for mobile video collaboration by coupling the 
ability to share content with its already best-in-class video and audio 
capabilities and centralized management. 
 
    "This Movi upgrade delivers a series of exciting and critical new 
capabilities that add significant value to the TANDBERG mobility solution," 
said Ira Weinstein, analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research. "Movi's new user 
interface makes it easier to use and more intuitive for users. However, the key 
enhancement is the ability to share PC content with other session participants. 
This new capability allows Movi users to not only participate in, but also to 
host high impact, rich media collaboration sessions."
 
    In combination with the award-winning TANDBERG Video Communication Server, 
Movi enables any PC to become a business-quality video system that seamlessly 
connects users to any other standards based H.323 and SIP video and 
telepresence system. Paired with the TANDBERG PrecisionHD USB camera, Movi 
enables high definition 720p 30fps video to ensure the highest resolution for 
the best call experience. This means when calling into a telepresence or video 
conference meeting, Movi will operate with superior HD quality to provide the 
best visual experience for all participants. This powerful solution can be 
deployed to thousands in minutes with TANDBERG's large scale provisioning 
solution and extends an enterprise's video network to enable cost-effective, 
easy-to-use video. 
 
    "Businesses can no longer be limited by their office locations. Effective 
mobile collaboration is a necessity for decision making and responsiveness in 
today's economy," said Fredrik Halvorsen, TANDBERG CEO. "Movi enables people 
anywhere in the world to come together face-to-face using business-quality PC 
video while sharing content with colleagues, customers and suppliers. This 
allows the legions of remote and dispersed workers to become equal members of 
the global video community."
 
    Movi helps ensure remote productivity and seamless enterprise mobility 
through real-time content sharing and contact presence functionality. The 
separate video and control interfaces coupled with the use of directories make 
access to real-time presence information for other Movi users and initiating a 
video call as simple as a mouse click. Best of all, interoperability with 
standards compliant multipoint control units ensures that Movi is not limited 
to single point-to-point connections like other PC-based solutions.  It allows 
users to simultaneously connect with multiple users on different devices, 
optimizing call quality and experience for all. Moreover, picture-in-picture 
capabilities for content sharing and self view provide flexibility to see who 
you are talking to while collaborating or sharing content. Movi also takes full 
advantage of TANDBERG's intelligent network features like firewall traversal, 
multipoint conferencing, recording and archiving, and the ability to connect 
with legacy ISDN services.
 
    According to Michael Young, Director of Telemedicine at the University of 
North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Movi has enabled 
physicians and patients from all over North Carolina to connect and collaborate 
with doctors at the Cancer Center, resulting in greater patient care. 
 
    "Movi is an integral part of our video solution and enables our doctors to 
collaborate using their PCs no matter their geographic location," said Young. 
"Now, with the added capability of standards based content sharing on Movi, our 
physicians can collaborate at an even higher level than before; sharing 
documents and applications from the field while engaging in face-to-face 
communications. The end result is a higher level of care for our patients 
across the entire state and a level of collaboration that was not possible 
before without significant and time consuming travel."
