1WELCOME TO HD3000
1.1 HD3000 Features
The HD3000 is a high definition set-top conferencing system combining
videoconferencing, streaming video, and multipoint conferencing. The HD3000
provides several distinctive attributes and features which makes it an ideal solution
for many group videoconferencing environments:
TTV-like video and crisp audio quality
HD3000 includes VCON’s award-winning technology and solutions for
maintaining high quality during video, audio and control transmissions. It
supports H.261, H.263, H.263+, H.263++, and 60 bps interlaced video mode.
It also supports G.711, G.722, G.723.1, G.728 and G.729 audio transmission.
Features such as Automatic Buffering, Automatic Lip Synch Enabling, and
Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) provide superior performance.
TMedia Xchange Management™ Support
VCON’s Media Xchange Manager™ (MXM) provides centralized
management of an organization’s videoconferencing network. If the HD3000
logs into an MXM server, it receives gatekeeper services, bandwidth
management, remote call initiation, and telephony functions, such as call
forwarding, call pickup, call transfer, ad-hoc videoconferencing, and IP-to-
ISDN connection through a gateway.
TQuality of Service (QoS)
VCON’s PacketAssist™ Architecture preserves optimum quality of your
videoconference according to available bandwidth and network traffic. The
HD3000 applies mechanisms such as IP Precedence to prioritize the video,
audio and control bits, and DiffServ to transfer packets according to the
HD3000’s specific needs.
TMulticast and Unicast Streaming
The HD3000 applies HD Simulcast™ technology, which provides multiple
ways of streaming live conferences out over your organization’s network and
over the Internet, where it can be viewed by any authorized person with a
streaming viewer. Users can simultaneously stream a presentation and live
video to remote sites. The streaming functions may be accessed through the
HD3000’s Web-based Management, allowing network administrators to begin
and end streaming, freeing the conference leader (Chair) to control the
meeting.

Chapter 1 Welcome to HD3000
2 VCON HD3000 User’s Guide
TMultipoint Videoconferencing Through an Embedded MCU
An embedded 4-port Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) provides robust but easy-
to-use multipoint conferencing capabilities. Participants can dial into a
multipoint conference, or an administrator can set up a dial-out conference,
instantly connecting all parties. The HD3000 implements audio and video
transcoding which enables all participants to receive the optimum conference
quality supported by their systems. Additionally, the HD3000 employs speed
matching, allowing all participants to connect at different speeds, as supported
by their systems.
TParticipation in Interactive Multicast
Using VCON’s Interactive Multicast, all parties in the videoconference see and
hear the same video, audio, and data sharing. HD3000 users may temporarily
receive the floor, in which their video and audio are seen by the other parties
until the floor returns to the session’s controller (Chair).
TDual Monitor Configuration
A second TV monitor may be connected to the HD3000. One monitor displays
the local video and the system interface, and the other monitor displays the
remote video.
TFar End Came ra C ont rol (F ECC )
If you permit, the remote party may control the positioning of your camera.
TRemote Management Through a Web Browser
From any computer on the same network as your HD3000, several functions
may be accessed through Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
TRemot e Software Upgrade
The HD3000’s software version may be upgraded, using the HD Upgrade
Utility, from an MXM (if the HD3000 is logged into it) or another computer at
a remote location.
TMulti-language Interface
The standard HD3000 version provides menus, commands and options in
several languages.
TSystem Security
Administrators may restrict access to the system’s configuration, prevent
unauthorized outgoing calls, or lock the system completely.
