MEETING ROOM - Continuous Presence Option for VUGate Networked Video Communications

 

MEETING ROOM is VUGate's continuous presence option for the SuperHub Video PBX product line. The SuperHub series of real-time multipoint video communication hubs come standard with VUGate's patented "video-follows-voice" for multipoint video calls. This patented feature provides for an unlimited number of participants in a multipoint videoconference where the participant speaking shows up on every other participants display. The SuperHub supports an unlimited number of simultaneous multipoint calls using this feature. For those instances and applications where the participants all wish to see each other simultaneously, VUGate offers Meeting Room, our "continuous presence option", in several versions: Meeting Room 4, Meeting Room 9 and Meeting Room 16.

 

 

 

 

The VUGate MinxMateTM Inmate Video Visitation Management System is an optional software control package that further automates and simplifies the inmate visitation call setup process.  The MinxMateTM software system allows for either computer mouse or touch screen operation to place calls between visitor and inmate video stations in a highly automated fashion requiring just two mouse clicks or screen touches.  The MinxMate system graphically identifies for the operator/receptionist all free visitor and inmate stations.

The VUGateCAM is ideally suited for video visitation and other one-on-one video phone calls due to its ability to provide for optimum eye contact between the parties.  This is due to its design that allows it to sit down over the edge of the monitor without blocking the user’s view but accurately displaying the user’s eyes. 

 

The VUGateCAM includes a built-in microphone and a shutter that you can open or close to block video and audio.  It also provides two lenses: normal view and wide-angle view. The normal view is recommended for individual video calls (that is, one-to-one). The wide-angle view is recommended for group video calls (that is, several people are participating from one video workstation), or for video workstations that are set up in a lab or a conference room. Also, use the wide-angle view if the VUGateCAM is mounted on the ceiling in a corner of the room and you want to provide a view of the room.
