All Radvision Scopia Elite 5000 series MCUs are delivered with the iVIEW Suite with internal Gatekeeper for conference scheduling and management.
To allow H.320 ISDN video conferencing systems to join multipoint meetings hosted by the Radvision Scopia Elite 5000 series MCU, the optional Scopia 100 gateway will be required.
Another feature supported by the Radvision Scopia Elite 5000 series MCU is the Scopia Mobile. It is a free download for Radvision Scopia Elite 5000 MCU users. The Scopia Mobile extends conferencing and control to mobile devices by providing an application for the Apple iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. With the Apple iPhone, users can easily connect to a conference and participate by audio or select to be called back on an alternate number. SCOPIA Mobile users can also view presentations, spreadsheets, documents and images shared in a video conference with H.239 interoperable data collaboration. Participants can immediately review previously shared materials and catch up if they arrived late to a meeting or spend additional time on critical points in material presented. Additionally, SCOPIA Mobile allows participants and administrators to directly control and manage video conferences through their mobile devices.
