Lets You Control
the Way You Conference
MP-ConferencerTM is an application developed by Brinckmann & Associates, Inc., for use with FVC Conference Server software - the best quality, most flexible and cost-effective H.323 Multipoint Control unit (MCU) available. MP-Conferencer software adds selective video presence features and capabilities to multipoint video conferencing that are not available from any other source.
MP-Conferencer unleashes the true potential of multipoint conferencing by adding new, dynamic levels of control - empowering meeting participants to conduct business as if they were sitting around the conference table, not isolated in front of a screen looking at the last person to speak. MP-Conferencer provides participants with the control they need to make multipoint video conferencing a highly productive, easy-to-use communications tool.
With MP-Conferencer, you get it all!
Working in conjunction with the FVC Conference Server software and any H.323 endpoint, MP-Conferencer gives you all the features you need to make meetings more flexible, natural and productive.
Now, you have complete control of video presence. Each participant can select the site they want to see by clicking on the attendee list. That's another plus—you have a dynamic list of all the sites connected to the conference. Need to bring other sites into the meeting? The Invite feature displays a list of sites on your network. Just click on a site to connect them.
Other modes of video presence include voice-activated, timed-sequence, continuous presence and isolated audio/video from a single site when background noise is a problem. There is even a Moderator mode so you can chair a meeting or conduct training in an instructor format. Meeting participants can "raise hands" to alert the moderator to questions or comments. Any site can elect to moderate the meeting. For training applications, the students' video presence options can be automatically disabled.
