ERICSSON ViPr Component options: Customize your ViPr system To help users make the most of their ViPr experience, system components are available to connect network environments, enable interoperability with legacy systems, integrate broadcast video, add voice-only telephone callers to multipoint ViPr conferences, record ViPr conferences, and more. By integrating voice, video, and data over a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based architecture, the Ericsson ViPr system enables a new era of remote communications, delivering real-time, secure video communications over local- and wide-area networks. The ViPr system is straightforward in its deployment and management. Required system components include the following: ViPr endpoints VMC4000 VMC5000 VMC6000 ViPr Series 2 endpoints ViPr Desktop Terminal ViPr Conference Room Controller ViPr Application Server
In addition to required components, the following available ViPr equipment extends the system s features and functionality: Intermedia Gateway SIP H.323 Gateway H.323 H.320 Gateway Video Server (MPEG-2) Media Server (H.264) Unicast Audio Mixer Media Interface Telephony Gateways SIP Firewall Key benefits Easy-to-integrate components offer flexibility in design and operation of the ViPr system. Component-based architecture provides a smooth migration from legacy systems toward a complete ViPr environment. Components are interoperable with existing SIP phones, private branch exchanges (PBXs), and voice mail servers. Rack mountable hardware design fits nicely into any 19-inch rack for optimum use of valuable rack space. All optional components are available with Asynchronous Transfer Mode unshielded twisted pair (ATM UTP), ATM multimode fiber (MMF), and 10/100 Ethernet UTP and 100Base-FX interfaces. ViPr Intermedia Gateway ViPr can be deployed in ATM and IP/Ethernet LAN and WAN environments. Over ATM, ViPr uses point-tomultipoint switched virtual circuits (SVCs) to carry audio and video traffic between endpoints (desktop terminals and conference room systems). Over IP/Ethernet, ViPr uses IP unicast and multicast to carry audio and video traffic between endpoints. When network environments are heterogeneous (e.g., Ethernet LAN/ATM WAN), the ViPr Intermedia Gateway enables seamless audio and video communications with Quality of Service (QoS) between ViPr endpoints, as if they all reside in the same LAN environment. Specifically, the Intermedia Gateway is used when ViPr endpoints in an ATM SVC-based network conference with ViPr endpoints in an IP/Ethernet-based network; or ViPr endpoints in separate IP/Ethernet-based LANs are interconnected by an ATM SVC-based core to conference among each other. ViPr SIP H.323 and H.323 H.320 gateways The ViPr system provides virtual presence conferencing quality that far exceeds the capabilities of H.323- and H.320-based legacy video conferencing systems. However, there is still a large installed base of H.32x-based systems. To protect customer investments in legacy video conferencing technology, SIP H.323 and H.323 H.320 gateways allow the ViPr system to interoperate with legacy H.323 (IP) systems and H.320 (ISDN) systems. The ViPr SIP H.323 Gateway supports seamless interoperability with H.323-based video conferencing systems, including H.323 endpoints, multipoint conferencing units (MCUs), and gateways. The SIP H.323 Signaling Gateway supports audio calls, video calls, and T.120-based collaboration sessions. It interoperates with the following H.320 H.323 gateways: RADVISION viaip gw-b40/gw-p10 Polycom MGC-25 GW1/GW2 Cisco IP/VC 3521/3526 The SIP H.323 functionality is also available as a separately licensed service on the ViPr Application Server. The H.323 H.320 Gateway enables ViPr endpoints to participate in H.320-based video conferences. By enabling interoperability between ViPr and legacy video conferencing systems, SIP H.323 and H.323 H.320 gateways promote the systematic deployment of ViPr systems, allowing a gradual and smooth migration from legacy video conferencing systems toward a complete ViPr environment. ViPr Media Server and Series 2 Video Server ViPr Media Servers (VMS1000) and Series 2 Video Servers provide the ViPr system with fully integrated broadcast video. ViPr Video Servers encode video using MPEG-2; the VMS1000 encodes video using H.264, allowing for better quality at lower bandwidths. Video channels can be viewed on any ViPr endpoint regardless of the video source, though an individual user's access level will be dictated by the permission levels granted by the system administrator. Each ViPr endpoint can display a combination of conference participants and full-motion video feeds, or up to three simultaneous video feeds when not in a conference; the endpoints can decode from ViPr Video Servers and ViPr Media Servers simultaneously. ViPr viewing options include the following: Live broadcast video feeds, such as Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC Prerecorded video feeds, including DVD and VCR Live and prerecorded security and surveillance video PC-generated presentations, documents, and spreadsheets Video sources can originate from a central location or from multiple locations. ViPr Unicast Audio Mixer ViPr conference participants enjoy an unprecedented audio and video experience. With the ViPr Unicast Audio Mixer, non-vipr, voice-only callers (those using traditional POTS/PSTN phones, mobile phones, or SIP phones*) can also participate in point-to-point or multipoint ViPr conferences.

In addition, it converts IP/User Datagram Protocol (UDP) audio streams to ATM SVC audio streams, and vice versa. This functionality enables the interoperability between ViPr systems deployed in ATM environments and SIP-based Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony gateways on Ethernet networks. ViPr Media Interface The ViPr Media Interface (VMI) provides additional flexibility for the ViPr solution. It provides encoding and decoding capabilities for applications such as video recording, panel conferences, and corporate-wide broadcasts. The VMI user interface is optimized for specific applications. For example, when using the VMI for recording purposes, conference participants will receive a text notification that the conference is being recorded. The VMI can also be configured to allow ViPr users to passively monitor a meeting or call. Passive conference participants have the ability to dial into the conference as active participants, if desired, to provide comments or take part in the conversation. ViPr SIP Firewall Ericsson has introduced the ViPr SIP Firewall through a relationship with Borderware Technologies. This component, which is intended to sit in parallel with an existing firewall, provides the following features: Dynamic UDP port allocation for SIP media streams address translation (NAT) support between LAN and WAN ports Tunneling of multicast media streams received on the LAN port using unicast streams on the WAN port (and vice versa) ViPr SIP Firewalls are required at each customer location. A ViPr Application Server also must be installed at each customer location. The ViPr SIP Firewall comes in a dualport 10/100 Ethernet version based on the standard 1U server platform used for other ViPr infrastructure components. Please contact your Ericsson sales representative for additional information about VMI capabilities, and for specific details about VMI applications. ViPr Telephony Gateways A series of telephony gateways enables interconnection between the ViPr system and various telephone systems (e.g., ISDN, analog, and proprietary digital phone systems). These gateways allow fixed and mobile telephone users to participate in point-to-point and multipoint ViPr calls. They also enable existing voice mail systems to be integrated into the ViPr environment. For detailed information about available ViPr Telephony Gateways, please contact your Ericsson sales representative.
