Integrating Visual Communications into Unified Communications

 

Create. Broadcast. Experience.

VBrick Systems has initiated a new era in visual communications through the integration of streaming video and unified communications. For over ten years VBrick has enabled thousands of organizations to communicate more effectively, and now that same technology is empowering Unified Communications.

Streaming live and on-demand video to a large and geographically distributed audience has a unique set of challenges that require purpose-built infrastructure. Until now, accessing this content required a separate portal application. For the first time, the VBrick OCS & Lync Streaming Gateways delivers the power of broadcast video into the context of every Microsoft Unified Communications application

Live and on-demand streaming video have a distinct set of considerations and applications in the unified communications environment. Live video integration includes the process of initiating a live stream, enabling broad access to the video content, placing the video in a collaborative context, leveraging metadata in real-time, and archiving the content for subsequent playback on-demand.
