Gateway Features

Gateway Capacity

Encryption (Secure conferenceTF)

Secure conferenceTF AES (128 bit) and Secure con- ferenceTF DES (56 bit) are both supported through the Gateway.

DownspeedingTF

When requested quality (bandwidth) cannot be established, DownspeedingTF makes the connection establish on as high quality as possible. If channels are dropped during a video conference, Downspeed- ingTF will ensure the connection being automatically maintained without interruption.

allows seamless MCU control through the Gateway.

Far End Camera Control using H.224 (H.281)

Far End Camera Control using H.224 (H.281) allows seamless Far End Camera control through the Gateway.

Intelligent Packet Loss Recovery (IPLR)

If the Gateway experiences packet loss from an IP endpoint, it will ask the endpoint to handle packet loss. This requires Intelligent Packet Loss Recovery (IPLR) functionality on the video system (endpoint).

Gateway Capacity

Each Media Board can support up to 7680 kbps of total bandwidth.

Each Gateway call consists of two connections. Example: A 384 kbps Gateway call has one H.323 site connected at 384 kbps and one H.320 site connected at 384 kbps. This means that this call is utilizing 768 kbps worth of bandwidth (384k + 384k = 768k).

Each Gateway option on the MPS allows for a maximum of 10 concurrent calls. This means that each Gateway option can support up to 10 concurrent calls at 384 kbps.

•Decreasing the bandwidth of each call will not increase the maximum number of calls possible.

•Increasing the bandwidth of each call will decrease the maximum number of calls.

Dual Video Streams

DuoVideoTF, H.239/BFCP are supported from both ISDN, IP/SIP and allows participants at the far end to simultaneously view a presenter and a live presentation.

Digital ClarityTF

Participants enjoy presentations of exceptionally high quality resolution video.

Text Chat (T.140)

Text Chat (T.140) is supported through the Gate- way.

Gateway Support for OD/HD

•H.264 w288p, 400p, w448p, w576p, w720p

•H.263 w288p, 400p, w488p, w576p

Below is a chart outlining the maximum number of calls possible for each bandwidth that is supported on the Gateway.
