Interactive Multicast Technology

Interactive Multicast  technology allows users to enjoy, for the first time, streaming video with  interaction. It gives the ability to multicast audio and video to participants using VCON endpoints or third party viewers, while all owing any participant  using a VCON endpoint to fully interact during the conference. In essence, the  multicast source can be moved amongst the VCON participants, creating a "virtual podium" effect. VCON Interactive Multicast technology is particularly beneficial in corporate communications, training and distance learning settings. In addition, it allows multicast viewers to participate in "receive mode" during  VCON multicasts. VCON Interactive Multicast uses standard IP multicast  technology running on a standard VCON H.323 client to add an interactive component to a formerly on e-way only streaming video technology.
