2 Immersive Telepresence from TANDBERG Why compromise your immersive Telepresence experience? Connect from: Immersive suite to Immersive suite Immersive suite to High Definition room Immersive suite to High Definition desktop Immersive suite to Standard Definition room Immersive suite to Home Office Within and without: Your own organization To your strategic business partners Internet located sites Home office locations The public switched telephone network

3 The TANDBERG Telepresence Server Supported systems 3 rd party telepresence system TANDBERG Telepresence systems Mix and interoperate between different system types and vendors TANDBERG Video conferencing endpoints TANDBERG Telepresence Server TS rd party Video conferencing endpoints Audio endpoints

4 Experience the full impact of your telepresence investment Telepresence endpoints are capable of delivering a truly immersive, highly realistic, life-like experience. However, until now the telepresence experience has been limited: to small multipoint conferences by type of endpoint to single vendor endpoints and telepresence systems by inflexible architecture, reducing the solution s functionality

5 Introducing another industry innovation from TANDBERG The TANDBERG Telepresence Server capable of: Scaling to a large number of sites Seamlessly bringing regular video conferencing endpoints into the telepresence environment Interworking with multiple vendors regular endpoints Adapting to customers future needs due to flexible architecture NOW adding the new multivendor, high-definition, multi-screen, telepresence interoperability functionality...all this while maximizing the full telepresence experience

6 Innovation from TANDBERG The best innovation in the market just got better! In a world first, the award winning TANDBERG Telepresence Server provides: Telepresence Multivendor Interoperability TANDBERG T3 can now maintain the full CP telepresence experience when calling out to third party Telepresence systems using the Telepresence Servers new multivendor functionality First release of multivendor interoperable supports Polycom RPX and TPX Telepresence systems* *Multivendor Interoperability Feature Key required

7 The TANDBERG Telepresence Server Supported systems 3 rd party telepresence system TANDBERG Telepresence systems Mix and interoperate between different system types and vendors TANDBERG Video conferencing endpoints TANDBERG Telepresence Server TS rd party Video conferencing endpoints Audio endpoints

8 The TANDBERG Telepresence Server Supported modes Room-Switched Telepresence Room-Switched Continuous Telepresence OneTable Telepresence OneTable Continuous Telepresence Telepresence View All modes cater for Audio-only participants

9 The TANDBERG TS 8710 Server Interoperability Allow existing TANDBERG Telepresence T3 customers to call a third party vendor s telepresence endpoint while preserving the full TANDBERG immersive telepresence, providing the best call experience to every participant; Enable enterprises seeking to purchase a telepresence system to call different vendors systems which are not tied in with other vendors services. Enable existing Polycom s RPX and TPX Telepresence users to be connected to the award winning TANDBERG T3 Telepresence systems. Enable service providers to offer uniquely differentiated services to their telepresence customers, opening up previously closed systems to telepresence calls.

12 Summary - The TANDBERG Telepresence Server An award-winning, new class of product Protects customers investment with unique multivendor interoperability functionality Brings all the advantages of transcoding to the telepresence environment Seamlessly integrates regular video conferencing endpoints into the telepresence environment Scales to 144 screens in a single chassis TANDBERG Codian ClearVision Technology for resolution enhancement Interoperates with third party video conferencing endpoints and with Polycom telepresence systems

13 Telepresence Server vs. MCU TANDBERG TS 8710 Full high definition transcoding on every port TANDBERG Codian MCU Full high definition transcoding on every port Connects to standards-based VC endpoints Connects to standards based VC endpoints Connects to TANDBERG and Polycom telepresence systems Mixes telepresence systems with VC endpoints in the same telepresence call Understands the immersive telepresence experience and therefore intelligently arranges participants panes Scales to a large number of VC endpoints per conference Scales to a large number of conferences Full compliment of standard conferencing features Flexible and numerous screen layouts tailored for single screens

19 Traditional Call Layout Scenarios

20 Mode 1: Room-Switched Telepresence Used to connect multiple telepresence rooms Only the loudest speaker s room is shown Primary advantage Familiarity, because this mode simulates the operation of existing multi-site telepresence conferences All the benefits of full transcoding

21 Mode 2: Room-Switched Continuous Telepresence Used to connect multiple telepresence rooms and video conferencing endpoints All other participants can be seen continuously Primary advantages This mode increases the number of participants who can participate in a single telepresence call Seamlessly include regular video conferencing endpoints Because all participants in the conference are continuously seen, this mode increases the effectiveness of the meeting TANDBERG First

22 Mode 3: OneTable Telepresence Used to connect up to 4 telepresence rooms Up to 12 other participants can be seen continuously Primary advantages This mode maintains the popular multi-table format as first seen with Experia Because all participants in all telepresence sites are continuously seen, this mode increases the effectiveness of the meeting

23 Mode 4: OneTable Continuous Telepresence Used to connect up to four telepresence rooms plus video conferencing endpoints. Each endpoints screen appearance can be individually controlled Primary advantages Extends the popular OneTable format Increases the number of participants who can participate in a single telepresence call Ensures all participants in the conference are continuously seen, thus increasing the effectiveness of the meeting TANDBERG First

24 Mode 5: Telepresence View Used by video conferencing endpoints to view multiple telepresence systems All other participants are seen Primary advantage Single screen endpoints receive the telepresence experience Because the Telepresence Server understands telepresence systems, this mode constructs a view optimised for a regular video conferencing endpoint TANDBERG First

25 Methods to Control the TS 8710 Control from T3 Think of TS as fully part of the T3 endpoints T3 interface used to setup all calls Setting up a Telepresence Server call will be the same as any other T3 call T3 will choose the most appropriate TS mode depending on the type of call being made Not all TS modes will be available from the T3 control panel for v1 TS is invisible to the user Control from TS Think of TS as a telepresence bridge TS management interface used to setup all calls TS can call out to T3, T1, TPX RPX HD 200 and 400 systems and other regular endpoints TPX RPX HD 200 and 400 systems, T3, T1 and regular endpoints can dial into conferences on the TS All TS modes are available Great for: Concierge services Service providers

26 T3 Calling regular endpoints

27 Scenario A: One T3 with one regular endpoint Systems in the call

28 Scenario B: One T3 with three regular endpoint Systems in the call

29 Scenario C: One T3 with many regular endpoints Systems in the call

30 Multiple T3s

31 Scenario D: Two T3s with one regular endpoint Systems in the call

32 Scenario E: Up to 4-way T3 Multipoint in OneTable Mode Systems in the call Up to 4-way multipoint shows the OneTable 4 participants for each location are displayed on individual displays Similar experience as Experia Multipoint, but done through Telepresence Server 3-way leaves one screen blank on each site

33 Scenario F: Up to 4-way T3 Multipoint in Room -Switched Continuous Telepresence Systems in the call Up to 4-way multipoint in Room-Switched Continuous Telepresence All 6 participants for each location are displayed in CP panes Similiar experience to point to point calls No blank screens

34 Scenario G: Up to 4-way T3 Multipoint with regular Endpoints in OneTable Mode Multipoint mix 4-way T3 and one or more regular endpoints OneTable mode

35 Scenario H: Up to 4-way T3 Multipoint with regular Endpoints in Room-Switched Continuous Telepresence
