Rich Conference Experience

Enhanced User Experience

Easy Installation

• Content display — Install the People+Content™ IP software application
on your computer, and then use the V500 system to show content (such as
spreadsheets and video clips) to other sites in the video conference.
• Split-screen viewing — Use Dual Monitor Emulation (split-screen
viewing) to see near-site people, far-site people, and content on one
monitor.
• Customizable home screen — Customize the home screen to support
different types of users:
— Novice users — Offer just a few options, so users need little or no
training.
— Advanced users — Provide a wide range of video conferencing
features.
• Customizable look and feel — Set up the workspace to suit your
environment.
• Easy-to-use remote control — Navigate through the configuration screens
and place calls easily using the color-coded remote control buttons.
• Call Scheduler — Use the calendar and call scheduling feature to schedule
video conferences. The system automatically calls the site you selected on
the date and time you specified. For recurring calls, you can indicate
whether you want the system to automatically make the call daily, weekly,
or monthly.
• Firewall (UPnP™) support — The V500 system offers support for routers
that support UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) NAT traversal, making
video conferencing setup easier for users in homes and small offices.
• IP or ISDN calling — The V500 system has a built-in 10/100 Mb Ethernet
port for IP calls. Two models of V500 are available — IP only, and IP with
ISDN. The V500 IP with ISDN model provides a single BRI network
interface to make calls over your ISDN telephone lines.
• Easy configuration wizard — The system setup wizard detects your
network connections and guides you through configuring the system to
work on an IP network or an ISDN.
• Auto-sensing power supply — The system automatically adjusts for line
voltages from 90 to 260 V and line frequencies from 47 to 63 Hz.
