Storage/Control I/O Module

The Storage/Control I/O Module performs two functions: to connect outside interfaces to the system controller and to house the hard disk drive. It plugs into the back of the VCO/4K system and provides the I/O interfaces for system peripheral devices and host communication links using four serial ports, one Ethernet port, one printer port and one SCSI connector. Figure 4-1shows the front panel of the Storage/Control I/O Module.

Physical interfaces to host computers and peripheral devices are provided on the front panel of the Storage/Control I/O Module. Two serial ports are available for SIO host links, and another two are dedicated to supporting the local system administration console and a remote maintenance modem. An Ethernet Transceiver interface and parallel printer connector are also located on the Storage/Control I/O Module.

VCO/4K specifications

Cisco Systems VCO/4K is a powerful video conferencing solution that has emerged as a leader in enabling high-quality, collaboration-driven communication within enterprises. Designed to cater to the demands of modern workplaces, the VCO/4K embodies a robust suite of features and advanced technologies that elevate the video conferencing experience.

One of the standout characteristics of the Cisco VCO/4K is its ability to deliver stunning 4K video quality. The high resolution ensures that participants can engage with crystal-clear visuals, making remote meetings feel more immersive and lifelike. This quality is essential for maintaining engagement and fostering an effective collaborative environment.

The VCO/4K incorporates Cisco’s advanced video technology, including the use of intelligent screen layouts that dynamically adapt during calls. This ensures that the main speaker is always prominently displayed, while other participants are shown in secondary views. This feature enhances the overall experience by keeping attention focused where it’s most needed, improving interaction and communication.

Another key technology that powers the Cisco VCO/4K is its cutting-edge audio capabilities. The system features high-fidelity microphones and speakers that deliver superior sound quality. Cisco's advancements in echo cancellation and noise reduction create a clearer auditory experience, ensuring that every participant can be heard without distractions. This is crucial for effective dialogue, especially in larger meetings where background noise can otherwise hinder conversation flow.

Integration with Cisco WebEx and other collaboration tools enhances the utility of the VCO/4K. Users can easily share screens, present documents, and collaborate in real-time, making it a versatile tool for a range of business applications. The ability to seamlessly connect with other platforms means that teams can work efficiently without the need for complex setups.

Security is another cornerstone of the Cisco VCO/4K's design. Built-in encryption protocols protect sensitive information shared during calls, ensuring that enterprises can communicate freely without compromising data integrity.

Overall, Cisco Systems VCO/4K stands out as a comprehensive video conferencing solution that combines impressive visual and audio capabilities, intelligent technology integration, and security features to create a cutting-edge conferencing experience. For businesses seeking to enhance their collaborative efforts, the VCO/4K offers a reliable platform that meets the demands of today’s dynamic work environment.
