ANOTHER DOOR OPENER FOR VIDEO TELECOMMUNCATION SOLUTION

iDEX's IX4276-VT series are the first high definition plasma displays with Video Conferencing built into the display. This innovative design makes for a simple out of the box setup without the headaches or costly expertise associated with navigating the maze of wiring and connectivity problems presented by other video conferencing solutions. This unique capability makes these devices the ultimate solution for high-end business group video conferencing.

IX4276-VT series systems are driven by powerful embedded PC's and dedicated hardware for digitizing and processing video content that offloads much of the processing needed for the video conferencing from the CPU. This allows a videoconference to continue while running several programs on the PC simultaneously. The application sharing function enables programs running on the embedded PC to be shared with others via the videoconference.

At the core of the IX4276-VT plasma pc series spectacular image is a high definition plasma display panel with 1,024 by 1,024 resolution that is more than two times greater than common WVGA displays that have only 852 by 480 resolution. Also the IX4276-VT models can display 40 percent more lines than other high definitions WXGA displays that have only 768 lines of resolution. A contrast ratio of  2500:1 with a light output of 1000 nits, make the IX4276-VT series with video conferencing solution both the highest resolution and brightest plasma pc displays on the market.

In addition to the advanced video conferencing capabilities, the IX4276-VT series of plasma displays can interface to almost any external video input such as RF, video, HDTV, or computer sources. The PIP (picture in picture) and P+P (picture with picture) capability enable the viewing of multiple video sources at one time. These displays use the most advance video processing electronics to scale and enhance any source to produce higher quality images than any other display of its kind.

iDEX plasma pc videoconference solution is designed to achieve the highest performance and greatest video quality on the market. The IX4276-VT series plasma displays can support data rates from 64Kb to 4 MB and utilizes advanced quality of service over IP networks to minimize packet loss and maximize video and audio quality at any data rate. These iDEX systems can support video resolutions of QCIF, CIF, 2CIF, 3CIF, and 4CIF all at data rates of 30 FPS. Most other video conferencing can only support CIF resolutions (352 X 288) while the IX4276-VT series can support resolutions four times greater. This means that at lower data rates the iDEX video conferencing solution can support full video quality images at 30 FPS, and at higher data rates the system can support DVD quality video encoding and decoding also at full video frame rates.

The IX4276-VT series incorporates advanced echo cancellation and noise suppression to produce outstanding audio quality. An easy to use operator interface gives quick access to audio and camera controls, white boarding, application sharing, as well as gate keeper services and many other sophisticated functions. The advanced MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) allows video conferencing with several different sites at the same time. The IX4276-VT systems are compatible with the most modern video conferencing standards on the market including H.323, v3, and SIP. This makes the IX4276-VT series compatible with almost all other video conferencing systems and helps to minimize connectivity related problems.

Combining state-of-the-art video conferencing and display technologies with unrivaled ease of installation and performance clearly makes the IX4276-VT series from iDEX Displays the ultimate solution for high-end business group video conferencing.

COMPETITIVE FEATURES
Support Of Special Video Formats:The iDEX video conferencing system is one of the only video conferencing systems that can support video formats of CIF, 2CIF, 3CIF and 4CIF. There are almost no other video conferencing systems that can support 2CIF and 3CIF modes. 2CIF and 3CIF are panoramic modes. 2CIF mode consists of 2 CIF (352x288) images of alongside each other with a resolution of 704x288. They are a especially useful format for group video conferencing. It makes it possible to show for instance two or three people sitting side by side in a group videoconference. 3CIF mode has a resolution of 704 by 432 which works very well with 16:9 forma plasma screens. These two panoramic modes are unique to iDEX products and can noticeably improve preference with group video conferencing. 4CIF mode supports a resolution of 704x576. This mode is only supported in high-end video conferencing systems. In this mode high-resolution DVD quality images can be supported when there is available bandwidth.

Works In All Network Environments
The iDEX video conferencing system can work in almost all network environments. The IX4276-VT is one of a very few systems in the market that currently implement a H.264 codec. The H.264 codec can more than double the performance of other systems that use standard H.263 codecs. In addition to this the IX4276-VT implements advanced quality of service algorithms to precisely control data rates and maximize performance in any network environment. The iDEX video conferencing system can work with data rates from 64Kbits to 4000Kbits. When working with lower speed networks the IX4276-VT can support quality video conferencing with data rates as low as 64K by utilizing its H.264 codec. (The H.264 codec will be released in March 2004). When using its H.263+ codec data rates as low as 128k can be supported with surprising good video quality.

Support For Multiple Displays
The iDEX Plasma PC Video Conferencing System can be configured to support 2 or more screens. This allows for many different configurations. For instance it is possible to use the main screen for viewing the remote party and simultaneously use a second slave screen to share applications. iDEX sells Plasma without computers for use slave displays for these types of applications.

Support For A Myriad Of Optional Accessories
The iDEX Plasma PC Video Conferencing System can be configure with many optional accessories for implementations of very complex group video conferencing system. Accessories like multiple cameras, push to talk mikes with auto camera functions, audio mixers, voice tracking systems etc. These options can be connected seamlessly to the IX4276-VT series of video conferencing products

Document And Application Sharing And Camera Control
Document sharing, application sharing and near and far camera control is also supported in the IX4276-VT. Using the iDEX large 42 inch 16:9 displays makes it possible to share applications in multiple windows where simultaneously viewing the remote party. This is a big advantage over other systems that use smaller 3x4 displays.

Integrated Multipoint Control Unit (MCU)
The iDEX Plasma PC Video Conferencing System comes with an integrated 8 port Multipoint Control Unit (MCU). This allows the capability to videoconference with up to 8 remote locations at the same time. This advanced MCU also uses to share applications and data as well as video with any of the participants. The MCU can be configuring to regulate the maximum network data rates from 128 Kbits to 8000 Kbits.
