"key enhancement is the ability to share PC content with other session participants. This new capability allows Movi users to not only participate in, but also to host high impact, rich media collaboration sessions."said Ira Weinstein, analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research.

In combination with Video Communication Server, Movi enables any PC to become a business-quality video system that seamlessly connects users to any other standards based H.323 and SIP video and telepresence system. Paired with the TANDBERG PrecisionHD USB camera, Movi enables high definition 720p 30fps video to ensure the highest resolution for better call experience. This means when calling into a telepresence or video conference meeting, Movi will operate with HD quality to provide the good visual experience for all participants. This powerful solution can be deployed on a large scale in little time with TANDBERG's large scale provisioning solution and extends an enterprise's video network to enable cost-effective, easy-to-use video.

"Businesses can no longer be limited by their office locations. Effective mobile collaboration is a necessity for decision making and responsiveness in today's economy," said Fredrik Halvorsen, TANDBERG CEO. "Movi enables people anywhere in the world to come together face-to-face using business-quality PC video while sharing content with colleagues, customers and suppliers. This allows the legions of remote and dispersed workers to become equal members of the global video community."

Movi helps ensure remote productivity and seamless enterprise mobility through real-time content sharing and contact presence functionality. The separate video and control interfaces coupled with the use of directories make access to real-time presence information for other Movi users and initiating a video call as simple. Interoperability with standards compliant multipoint control units ensures that Movi is not limited to single point-to-point connections.  It allows users to simultaneously connect with multiple users on different devices, optimizing call quality and experience for all. Moreover, picture-in-picture capabilities for content sharing and self view provide flexibility to see who you are talking to while collaborating or sharing content. Movi also takes full advantage of TANDBERG's intelligent network features like firewall traversal, multipoint conferencing, recording and archiving, and the ability to connect with legacy ISDN services.
