Aethra vega X5 User manual

Vega®X5 is a high-performance
system at the cutting-edge of
set-top technology.
It is ideal for medium and
large-sized videoconferencing
sessions that require enhanced
audio and video quality.
The integrated Multipoint
Conferencing Unit (MCU)
connects up to 9 sites in mixed
mode (ISDN and IP), with
convenient Dial-out and Dial-in
(Meet Me) configuration.
Supports multiple connectivity
Available in several versions: for connections up to 768 kbps
over ISDN BRI and 4 Mbps over IP; as well as connections up
to 2 Mbps over ISDN PRI or over leased lines (X.21, V.35,
RS449, RS366, G.703).
Simultaneous Dual-Stream video
Convenient XGA input and output ports provide one-step PC
plug-in for simultaneous dual-stream video and live PC
presentations with enhanced images.
Patented Voice Tracking and Wideband audio
Voice Tracking technology enables the camera to automatically
track and frame the person who is speaking.
The first system to support both 14-kHz (ITU and ISO) wideband
audio codecs adopted in videoconferencing.
Desktop Connectivity available with Aethra X-line
The X-line’s very powerful, high-quality embedded MCU,
allows users to connect the Vega Desktop Solution Hydra to
enable high-end interactive video and data collaboration
sessions among traditional endpoints and PCs, wherever they
are (home, office, “on your way to..”).
High-quality set-top
Highest Quality
Crystal clear audio and superior video quality
at 4 Mbps
Enhances Collaboration
Built-in MCU connects up to 9 sites with
Continuous Presence in mixed mode ISDN,
IP-H.323 and IP-SIP
Aethra Unified Communication solution
Its embedded MCU in conjunction with
the Vega Desktop Solution Hydra extends
Videoconferencing from traditional
room-based end-points up to PCs
