LifeSize rolls out video bridge Multipoint 230

It has also unveiled the Control 4.5 management platform for multi-vendor video networks.

Multipoint 230 is an enterprise-class system enabling up to 30 sites to communicate simultaneously, via video, in HD, 720p at 30 frames; and 15 sites to participate in full HD, 1080p at 30 frames.

Multipoint 230 features a user-definable screen layout and gives the system administrator centralised management and control of system settings and conferences.

LifeSize Control integrates with Microsoft Outlook and Exchange without desktop plug-ins. Standards-based and open, it integrates into existing videoconferencing platforms and allows management of multi-vendor video environments. Release 4.5 provides SNMP interoperability, supporting integration with third-party products such as HP OpenView.
