The solution consist of the following LifeSize video conferencing systems:
- 1 unit of LifeSize Team 220 full HD video conferencing system with built-in 4-party MCU at HQ
- 3 units of LifeSize Express 220 full HD point to point systems at the branches.
The LifeSize video conferencing systems can be used with any LED TVs, LCD TVs or LCD projectors. For best video quality, 1080p30 full HD LED TVs, LCD TVs and LCD projectors are recommended. The LCD projectors shall have brightness of 3000 ANSI lumens and above. Either 1 or 2 displays can be used per location.
Network required for the inter-office connection can be either IP network (leased line or broadband internet access) or ISDN network.
Bandwidth requirement for each location are as follows:
Desired video resolution | Bandwidth required at HQ | Bandwidth required at each branch |
1920×1080 pixels full HD video resolution @ 30fps | 5.1Mbps | 1.7Mbps |
1280×720 pixels HD video resolution @ 30fps | 2.3Mbps | 768kbps |
1024×576 pixels DVD video resolution @ 30fps | 1.5Mbps | 512kbps |
912×512 pixels cable TV video resolution @ 30fps | 1.2Mbps | 384kbps |
400×244 pixels WCIF video resolution @ 30fps | 768kbps | 256kbps |
During a multipoint session, all locations will see each other on a same screen with continuous presence video layouts.
In addition to the real time video conferencing session, users at any locations are able to connect their PC to the LifeSize video conferencing system to start a presentation.
When the presentation starts, the LifeSize video conference systems will use the H.239 dual video sending and receiving feature to allow far end users to view both video and presentation slides simultaneously.
For secure connection, the embedded AES encryption of the LifeSize video conferencing system can be used.
The LifeSize video conferencing systems are fully ITU-T H.323, SIP and H.320 compliance and compatible with systems from other manufacturers.
With the optional LifeSize Video Center, the entire video conference meetings can be streamed live and/or recorded just by pressing a button on the handheld remote control unit. The recorded videos can be playback using a PC, Mac computers and iPhone/iPad/iPod whenever required.
