A videoconference is a meeting of more than two participants with audio
and video using endpoints. Professional videoconferencing systems can
handle many participants in single meetings, and multiple simultaneous
meetings, with a wide interoperability score to enable a wide variety of
endpoints to join the same videoconference. Typically you can also share
PC content, like presentations, to other participants.
The Avaya Equinox Streaming and Recording Viewer Portal is embedded in
the Avaya Scopia Desktopuser portal. To access the Viewer Portal, you can
select Recordings and Events on the main Scopia Desktop page. From
the Viewer Portal, you can watch recordings and navigate through the
categories.
The Avaya Equinox Streaming and Recording Virtual Delivery Node (VDN)
is a device to push content to an external Content Delivery Network (CDN).
The method for publishing content to a CDN is tightly coupled to the Avaya
Equinox Streaming and Recording platform which allows a company's video
assets to be managed from a central location.
If you want to use a VDN and a CDN, you must buy cloud storage and
services from Highwinds, with the appropriate bandwidth and capacity for
your needs. You apply the credentials you receive from Highwinds in the
Avaya Equinox Streaming and Recording Manager to securely access the
CDN.
A virtual room in Scopia Desktop and Scopia Mobile offers a virtual meeting
place for instant or scheduled videoconferences. An administrator can
assign a virtual room to each member of the organization. Users can send
invitations to each other via a web link which brings you directly into their
virtual room. Virtual meeting rooms are also dialed like phone extension
numbers, where a user's virtual room number is often based on that
person's phone extension number. You can personalize your virtual room
with PIN numbers, custom welcome slides and so on. External participants
can download Scopia Desktop or Scopia Mobile free to access a registered
user's virtual room and participate in a videoconference.
A crossed VISCA cable connects two PTZ cameras to enable you to use
the same remote control on both.
A waiting room is a holding place for participants waiting for the host or
moderator to join the meeting. While waiting, participants see a static image
with the name of the owner's virtual room, with an optional audio message
periodically saying the meeting will start when the host arrives.
A webcast is a streamed live broadcast of a videoconference over the
internet. Enable Scopia Desktop webcasts by enabling the streaming
feature. To invite users to the webcast, send an email or instant message
