X5 is a high-performance system at the cutting-edge of set-top technology.

It is ideal for medium and large-sized videoconferencing sessions that require enhanced audio and video quality.

The integrated Multipoint

Conferencing Unit (MCU) connects up to 9 sites in mixed mode (ISDN and IP), with convenient Dial-out and Dial-in

(Meet Me) configuration.

Supports multiple connectivity

Available in several versions: for connections up to 768 kbps over ISDN

BRI and 4 Mbps over IP; as well as connections up to 2 Mbps over

ISDN PRI or over leased lines (X.21, V.35, RS449, RS366, G.703).

Simultaneous Dual-Stream video

Convenient XGA input and output ports provide one-step PC plug-in for simultaneous dual-stream video and live PC presentations with enhanced images.

Easy to configure

Flexible, simple architecture enables easy re-configuration of the system. Ready to upgrade simply by adding different cards.

Change the channel aggregator card and upgrade from BRI to PRI in one easy step!

Patented Voice Tracking and Wideband audio

Voice Tracking technology enables the camera to automatically track and frame the person who is speaking.

The first system to support both 14-kHz (ITU and ISO) wideband audio codecs adopted in videoconferencing.

Customizable Graphic User Interface

The user is able to choose layouts and colours from a variety of alternatives.
