RADVISION Extends Market Leadership in High Definition Desktop
Video Conferencing Breaking Through Quality Barriers
Tuesday December 2, 7:00 am ET
TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RADVISION(R) Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN - News), a
leading provider of video network infrastructure and developer tools for unified
visual communications over IP, 3G, and emerging next-generation IMS networks,
today announced the availability of a new version of the award winning SCOPIA
Desktop platform with market leading enhancements to high definition video and
presentation clarity. SCOPIA Desktop V5.7 can be experienced at a new online
demonstration facility in conjunction with its release providing an easy way to
experience SCOPIA high definition (HD) quality in audio, video, and H.239 data
collaboration.
SCOPIA Desktop makes it easy to fully participate in meetings no matter where
users are: at their desk, at a customer location, or in a hotel in another part
of the world. This innovative Web-based desktop conferencing solution allows
users to bring audio, video, data, traditional room systems and desktop all into
one conference and can be used by anyone inside or outside the enterprise
firewall. Now with RADVISION's new demonstration facility, everyone can
experience first-hand, the unique conferencing capabilities of SCOPIA Desktop at
http://www.radvision.com/tryscopia.
SCOPIA Desktop V5.7 features a new video subsystem that provides unparalleled HD
video quality for both motion video and data sharing. SCOPIA Desktop's previous
ability to receive 720p high definition is now augmented with the ability to
send HD business quality 720p video using just a standard USB web camera. Now
conference participants using room systems or other HD capable desktop clients
can view SCOPIA Desktop participants in HD significantly improving the overall
quality of the conference. V5.7 also adds HD resolution to data sharing through
the use of H.264 data encoding providing clearer presentations while using less
bandwidth for the data stream.
The new video subsystem is designed to deliver high definition image quality and
low latency while being efficient on processor and network bandwidth
utilization. For users demanding the ultimate in desktop video performance,
these latest HD capabilities are optimized for Intel's(R) advanced processor
families and take advantage of multiple instructional threads and increased high
definition video rendering capabilities from CPU's such as the Intel(R) Core(TM)
i7 processor when they are available.
SCOPIA Desktop V5.7 also features a new audio subsystem that provides users a
very high quality audio experience resulting from enhanced echo cancellation,
added resiliency for network errors, improved automatic gain control and highly
effective background noise cancellation. Together the new audio and video
quality enhancements with V5.7 deliver a compelling communications solution on a
standard PC; well suited for the current economic environment with shrinking
budgets and increased productivity demands.
"Video is becoming an essential part of a complete enterprise communications
strategy driven in large part by the advent of high definition quality provided
by today's room based conferencing systems," said Rich Costello, Research
Director Enterprise Communications, Gartner, Inc.. "In order for desktop video
to become a part of this strategy it is essential for desktop solutions to fully
interoperate with room systems and provide the same level of experience at an
affordable price."
We invite everyone to experience our high definition conference room without
walls," said Boaz Raviv, CEO of RADVISION. "Users can see for themselves how
easy high definition video conferencing can be right from their own desktop.
Please visit http://www.radvision.com/tryscopia to experience this leading edge
technology. The desktop client can be downloaded for free with immediate entry
to a public conference room."

RADVISION Granted Mobile Video Telephony Patent
Thursday December 18, 7:00 am ET
RADVISIONs patent essential to reducing call setup time for 3G video telephony
capable devices
TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RADVISION(R) Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN - News), a
leading provider of video network infrastructure and developer tools for unified
visual communications over IP, 3G, and emerging next-generation IMS networks,
today announced it has been granted a U.S. patent, numbered 7464167, for
reducing 3G video call connect time to under one second.
Until approximately two years ago, it took 7 to 15 seconds to connect a 3G call
and start sending video. This time delay is considered far too long for a
commercially viable service. Recently, an extension to the 3G-324M protocol
(annex K) was ratified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and
the 3GPP to reduce call setup time.
This extension, known as MONA, was defined by RADVISION and other industry
players. The MONA specification is designed around a set of three different
techniques, which may be used during call setup procedures to shorten the time
necessary to setup a video call.
"Until now, the widespread adoption of 3G video telephony has been hampered by
the time it takes to set up calls between devices," said Avishai Sharlin,
General Manager, TBU, at RADVISION. "With the innovation added by MONA, call
setup times can be reduced to below a second, significantly improving the
quality of experience to the end user."
"RADVISION is committed to facilitating the proliferation of multimedia
communications through IP technology and solutions," said Mr. Sharlin, adding
that, "RADVISION's IP will be made available to entities at reasonable and non
discriminatory licensing terms."
