VideoconferencingVideoconferencing has become an invaluable tool for organizations that want to
collaborate, communicate, and educate. Distance learning, telemedicine, student placement interviews,
virtual field trips, and collaborative meetings are now among the successful everyday uses for
interactive videoconferencing.
For Merit-connected organizations, videoconferencing is one of the most effective ways to
take advantage of Merit's robust, high-speed network. Merit's powerful Multipoint Conference Unit (MCU) connects users in multiple locations in a single videoconference for the highest quality remote education experience available.
The Merit MCU bridges IP (H.323), ISDN (H.320) and SIP-based videoconferencing endpoints located on Merit's network or across the Internet, resulting in integrated voice and video collaboration for state-of-the-art remote collaboration.
Merit technicians provide pre-session testing to thoroughly test each participant's connection before the conference begins to ensure that each participant's connection is of the highest quality possible. During the videoconference, Merit technicians continuously monitor the videoconference to maintain the best quality possible, resolving any audio or video problems without disrupting sessions.
While videoconferencing between two locations is fairly straightforward, bridging three or more locations requires special equipment. Merit offers cost-effective Multipoint Video Conference (MCU) bridging to its Members. Merit's flexible videoconferencing service also allows bridging between IP and ISDN, as well as voice participants.
