PC-based videoconferencing meets conference-room videoconferencing with
TANDBERG’s new Movi
solution, currently in beta testing but set for commercial launch in 2Q 2007.
Normally the two types of videoconferencing occupy separate worlds; Movi allows
outside experts – or traveling colleagues – to join a team meeting via the
Internet. Employees can also use Movi for entirely PC-based videoconferences.
Movi is a server-based application for the enterprise market, which IT
departments manage centrally through the Web. However, calls don’t require IT
support. Users can click to initiate video calls on a link from a meeting
invite, a permanent link on a corporate intranet, or an address in the Movi
directory. All that is required is a webcam, microphone, speakers and a
computer with an Internet connection.
