Product Description

Desktop Conferencing Systems have become immensely popular in substituting real meetings and conferences, as time cannot be compromised in todays world. However, replacing these vital meetings is not an easy task. Thus a commendable, reliable and efficient system is required. Thats where MLABS Multimedia Conferencing System version 6.0 - or more popularly known as MCSv6 - comes in. MCS is a full-fledged versatile multipoint video conferencing system that can seamlessly integrate into an organizations networks architecture. MCS is designed to flexibly fit into any existing LAN and WAN environment. The key point that has always been stressed throughout MCS development is flexibility. Realizing the amount of money invested in setting up a networking environment, changing the whole or part of the architecture for a certain kind of product is not acceptable let alone economical. Another major advantage of MCS is that it is software based and uses non-proprietary hardware. This means that your existing multimedia PC can probably become an MCS client, as long as it meets the basic requirements needed to run MCS. MCS uses multicast technology within the LAN and unicast technology within the WAN. This enables MCS to keep the conference bandwidth constant no matter how many users are connected to that conference. In order for the multicast packets to traverse the WAN, the Multiple LAN IP Converter (MLIC) entity converts the LAN-based multicast packets to unicast packets to enable them to pass through the WAN routers. On the receiving end another MLIC reconverts these unicast packets and retransmits them as multicast packets onto the other LAN. MCS uses the RSW Control Criteria which was developed with a real meeting room in mind. This helps create a realistic virtual meeting room that provides an intuitive, smooth and enjoyable conferencing experience. Furthermore, the RSW control criteria effectively optimizes bandwidth usage. MCS is a client-server based system which supports distributed network entities. MCS allows up to ***0 users per server and the number of servers is scaleable. Thus a conference can have an UNLIMITED number of participants per conference by simply increasing the number of servers
