High Definition Without Compromise
Without compromise or limits this MCU supports the highest video resolution, speed, frame rate and codec of the latest HD endpoints. This includes full continuous presence for all conferences, including those with a mix of both HD and standard definition (SD).
The Codian MCU 4500 series is ideal for applications which demand the ultimate audio and video quality, such as business meetings, telemedicine, distance learning and corporate training.
The Codian Difference
High Definition Performance - Crystal clear, full-motion, high definition video on every port. 720p H.264 at 30 frames per second continuous presence with perfect quality and limited only by the capabilities of the endpoint and network.
Multi-standard HD audio support and high resolution data conferencing.
Constant High Capacity - Codian Universal Port™ technology supports any codec, any speed, any resolution and any layout (including over 50 continuous presence layouts) on any port without loss of capacity or capability - greatly simplifying the planning, provisioning and scheduling of your conference.
Best Quality for Each Participant - Delivers a unique video stream for each participant, resulting in the best possible audio and video quality for the available bandwidth and endpoint capabilities.
Investment Protection - Latest high performance architecture scales up to match future capabilities of new HD endpoints. Ready for 1080p full HD resolution video.
Seamless integration of HD with existing SD equipment and with next generation devices such as 3G, SIP and desktop video.
Standards-based and Compatible - Offers full interoperability with IP and ISDN networks (using the Codian ISDN Gateway), and proven compatibility with all major vendors.
Easy to Use, Easy to Manage - Schedule, manage and monitor individual conferences and independently select the continuous presence layout for each user using the web-based user interface.
Video auto attendant supports both scheduled and on-demand conferences. XML API provides integration with scheduling and management applications.
Codian ClearVision™ - An innovative resolution and vision enhancement technology, delivering up to 4x resolution improvement on SD and ED video media, easing the transition to high definition.
Innovation and Quality - Includes the features inherent in the proven Codian MCU 4200 series: endpoint agnostic, Universal Port™ and Packet Safe™ technology, video firewall, web conferencing, streaming and built-in gatekeeper.
