(2) (Multipoint Control Unit) A device that is used to moderate a videoconference of three or more end points (users at computers or groups of users 4500 Series Selected for its Unparalleled HD Performance and Endpoint Compatibility SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Codian, a leading manufacturer of video conferencing See videoconferencing. (communications) video conferencing - A discussion between two or more groups of people who are in different places but can see and hear each other using electronic communications. infrastructure products, announced today that its new high-definition (HD) video conferencing bridge, the MCU 4500 series, is the central MCU platform for the Internet2 Gigaconference II High-Definition Videoconferencing A real time video session between two or more users or between two or more locations. Although the first videoconferencing was done with traditional analog TV and satellites, inhouse room systems became popular in the early 1980s after Compression Labs pioneered digitized video systems Event in Chicago. Sponsored by advanced networking consortium Internet2, Gigaconference II is a demonstration of high-definition H.323 video conferencing endpoints, with an emphasis on interoperability in real-world academic applications. Using a Codian MCU 4500, participants from around the globe will connect with HD systems from different manufacturers in a demonstration of multi-vendor connectivity. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Jonathan Tyman, Program Manager for Internet2, "WeeIUve consistently had impressive results from Codian video conferencing bridges, having used the MCU 4200 series as a central part of the platform for our Megaconference, Megaconference Jr., and first Gigaconference. Codian MCUs are interoperable with any endpoint hardware we have used at any connection speed, and now they extend interoperability to the HD environment to deliver optimum performance." The Codian MCU 4500 series is the industryeIUs most powerful conferencing bridge, delivering full-motion, high-definition (HD) continuous presence video conferencing while fully supporting conferences with mixed standard definition (SD) and HD endpoints. With more than ten times the performance of other systems, the MCU 4500 is ideal for telemedicine, distance learning and other applications which require high-definition telepresence Meaning "long distance presence," it refers to videoconferencing applications that feel like a live meeting. Notable features are larger screens that may approach a virtual reality environment and sensors that keep at least one window focused on whomever is speaking at the moment. . According to William MacDonald William Macdonald or MacDonald or McDonald may refer to:
"We have noted solid interest in HD videoconferencing across many different vertical markets," commented Ira Weinstein, Senior Analyst and Partner at Wainhouse Research. "The detail and clarity afforded by HD creates new and powerful opportunities for applications like distance learning, telemedicine, and global collaborative research. With its ability to support both HD and SD endpoints at different connection rates in a single conference, CodianeIUs MCU 4500 is exceptionally well suited to host multi-vendor, multi-enterprise, and multi-resolution conferences like Gigaconference II."
