Can I hold a three- or four-way conference using TELESYNERGY®?
• By connecting through a hub site at the National Institutes of Health, up to seven sites can participate in TELESYNERGY® conferences, including high-quality audio/video and data. • By using the MCU (Multi-point Conferencing Unit) installed in most Tandberg videoconferencing systems used at TELESYNERGY® sites, multiple sites can have audio/video conferences together at a downgraded bandwidth. Can TELESYNERGY® connect with a non-TELESYNERGY® system? The TELESYNERGY® system uses an industry standard video-conferencing protocol (H.320), meaning that it can communicate with video-conferencing systems made by other manufacturers. TELESYNERGY® systems use Tandberg brand video-conferencing equipment, but can be used to conference with systems made by PictureTel, Polycom, and others. You can hold video-conferences with non-TELESYNERGY® sites using most of your auxiliary devices, including the microscope, patient exam cameras, VCR, DVD, etc. You will not be able to use some data-sharing parts
