TANDBERG 2500

TANDBERG believes that the success of any videoconferencing solution depends upon high quality, reliable and easy to use products that deliver excellent value. With these elements in mind, TANDBERG has developed an extensive portfolio of standards-based products built on leading edge videoconferencing technology. As part of this range, the TANDBERG 2500 leverages award-winning design into a highly affordable system that provides users with the following exciting features:

Award Winning Design
The TANDBERG 2500 seamlessly integrates the power of videoconferencing into a richly featured rollabout. With its sleek stand, the system can easily and cost-effectively be transformed into a dual monitor system that is easily maneuvered by just one person.

Easy to Use
Equipped with an intuitive on-screen user interface and automatically activated remote control, TANDBERG products are designed for even the most non-technical of users. Setting up a videoconferencing call on the TANDBERG 2500 is as simple as making a telephone call, just dial the number and push the CONNECT button.

Outstanding Audio and Video Quality
Videoconferencing should be as natural as possible. Through Intelligent Call Management^TF, the TANDBERG 2500 automatically configures itself to the best possible audio and video quality, guaranteeing the highest level of performance and the most natural of meeting environments without the need for user intervention. Unlike traditional videoconferencing, TANDBERG systems operate with native video resolutions. The images maintain their true resolution, rather than being scaled to adapt to various formats. This is of particular benefit to users of NTSC and SVGA resolutions.

Powerful Presentations

The Natural Presenter Package:

• Maintain Eye Contact - Duo Video^TF, a unique TANDBERG feature, allows participants at the remote site to simultaneously watch the presenter on one screen and view the live presentation on the adjoining screen.
• Read with Ease - Digital Clarity^TF automatically transmits live images from PCs and document cameras at a resolution four times that of standard videoconferencing quality (4CIF/4SIF), providing brilliant colors and crisp images.
• Plug and Present - The PC Presenter^TF makes plugging a PC into the system extremely simple through a direct access plug on the front of the cabinet (XGA Input). This makes it easy to show documents to other meeting participants and hold effective presentations. The PC SoftPresenter^TF lets you enjoy the same benefits through a software connection over the LAN.
  
  All of these features are available in both point-to-point and MultiSite^TF calls.

Involve Multiple Sites in One Conference
TANDBERG's MultiSite functionality gives your more ways than ever to involve people in your meetings - easily and effectively:

• participants can join a meeting by video and or by telephone
• systems can be cascaded so that up to 10 video sites and 4 audio sites can meet
• participants can use ISDN or IP in the same meeting
• the systems can be used as an audio bridge only with up to 14 callers
• meeting participants can select between Continuous Presence view which shows multiple sites on the monitor or Voice Switched view which shows only the speaker on the monitor

Streaming
The streaming function sends images and sound to PCs linked to the Local Area Network (LAN). It is an excellent tool for broadcasting a speech or presentation within or between organizations.

Razor Sharp Images
The SVGA Output lets the user connect a VGA monitor as the main monitor or the second monitor. This allows for high resolution live video images which are essential for PC presentations. True native PC resolutions ensure that the images are unscaled so that the quality of the image received is as good as the image sent.

"On-the-Fly" Network Selection
A variety of bandwidth speeds and network selections are available on the TANDBERG 2500 for specific applications and individual needs. The system will automatically detect whether the user is making an IP or ISDN call. Other external networks can also be selected using the on-screen menu, without rebooting the system.

Reliability Ensured
A successful videoconference depends on reliable connections without network interruptions. The unique Downspeeding^TF feature maintains the call in progress, while the SoftMux^TF further enhances reliability.

Effective Video Terminal Management
TANDBERG systems can be monitored, managed and maintained from a central web portal using the TANDBERG Management Suite. The TANDBERG Management Suite makes it easy to manage multiple videoconferencing systems and it ensures the smooth operation of systems throughout the organization.
