Group Video System

Lucent’s Group Video System turns a telephone call into a face-to-face meeting for conducting business with people across the country or around the world. Lucent’s line of Group Video Systems, based on the PictureTel Group Video Line (System 1000, 4000, Venue 2000™ and Concorde 4500™), is designed to assure that your video conferences are the most effective possible.

A Group Video System can connect directly to your DEFINITY ECS system or to the network at speeds from 112 Kbps up to 384 Kbps. When connected to your DEFINITY ECS via either Data Communication Protocol ports or a DS1 interface, video calls are placed as easily as voice calls. And you can benefit by using your DEFINITY ECS’s World Class Routing capabilities and the shared use of network facilities such as ACCUNET Switched Digital Services or Software Defined Digital Network.

Group Video Systems are totally self-contained and include a pan/tilt/zoom cam- era, a monitor, the control unit, communications equipment, and the equipment electronics. You can easily add peripheral equipment such as video cassette recorders to record the conference, document scanners to review hard-copy material with distant participants, and personal computers to supply spread- sheets or other computer-based conveniences.

You can equip any office or conference room with a Group Video System. Confer- ees can speak and act naturally without thinking about audio and video pickup. Advanced video-compression technology ensures excellent picture quality across a variety of available speeds (112 to 768 Kbps). The system adapts auto- matically to room acoustics, and a unique, audio-compression algorithm yields distortion-free, full-duplex, interactive video without echo. A highly-sensitive microphone is built into the control unit, and if necessary, conferees can use up to four auxiliary desktop and/or lapel microphones.
