Ariel Network Solutions, value-added reseller for the VCON range of high-end desktop and small group videoconferencing systems, has announced it will be offering four innovative new products. "VCON is redefining the videoconferencing market, by being the first company to provide a full range of superior quality, complete solutions to the VC market," said Mike Fisher, product manager at ANS. "From desktop videoconferencing to portable small group systems, VCON provides high performance, standards based systems, at the most competitive prices on the market." The new products are: * Windows NT TM and Multicasting options for the ARMADA Escort 25PRO desktop videoconferencing system and MediaConnect group system series - until now, these products were only available for point-to-point videoconferencing under Microsoft Windows 95TM. VCON is now announcing the availability of Windows NTTM support and integrated multipoint videoconferencing: one-to-many multicasting with dynamically switchable audio and video sources for applications like audio/video broadcasting. * Cruiser 75 Plus desktop videoconferencing system - the new low-cost system provides H.320 compatible "plug and play" videoconferencing over regular ISDN lines at a constant rate of 15 fps in full CIF. * QuickConnect Series of compact portable videoconferencing for ISDN, LAN and POTs - the QuickConnect MM6 and QuickConnect 2 both offer a lightweight videoconferencing unit and camera with built-in fiberoptic microphone that connects to any standard TV for an ISDN connection of 384 Kbps (3 BRI on-board) for 30 fps video quality or videoconferencing at 128 Kbps and a LAN (H.323) or POTs (H.324) option respectively. * ARMADA Cruiser 384 - the new Cruiser 384 is the only system on the market today that utilises a single board (occupying only one PCI slot) for 3xBRI ISDN, setting a new standard in performance. "A key factor for companies to adopt videoconferencing technology is the ability to project something that looks like a real human being on the video screen, with high resolution and high video frame rates at or near broadcast quality. In addition, they can zoom in on complex objects, obtaining a sharper image of fine details. The new VCON products represent a big step in this direction," added Fisher.
