Milton Keynes, England, 30th July 2013: AVer, a major global provider of HD video-conferencing products, surveillance, and presentation technology, has today announced the launch of its Congress range of video conferencing equipment, offering small and medium businesses a choice of three complete solutions to their VC needs.
By providing a package that includes single or multiple displays, a versatile adjustable stand and cutting-edge video conferencing equipment, customers can benefit from significant savings of over £1200 compared to purchasing these key components separately, and can reduce the turnaround time required to purchase and set up a VC system dramatically.
Leading the line is the SkyCongress Duo, which offers twin 42” Philips LED signage displays that sit flush together on an adjustable stand, delivering seamless visuals and improved clarity when navigating multi-connection conferences. The SkyCongress Solo and TrueCongress Solo offer point-to-point operation with a single 46” Philips signage display, with the True adding full HD (1080p) resolution. With LED signage displays offering thin bezels, superb contrast and flicker-free operation, Philips is seen as the ideal partner to the new Congress range, complementing both the quality and ease of use of AVer’s VC solution and ensuring that no compromises are made in providing the best possible package to customers.
Mounted securely on the included high quality, lightweight trolley/stand for improved portability, this offers adjustable height and fingertip tilt, click-mounting for safety, a cable management system and an adjustable shelf for efficient placement of the included video conferencing system.
The SkyCongress Duo bundle includes AVer’s HVC330P video conferencing system with VCBridge, the most cost-effective package in its range. A high quality, 5MP, 7 X Zoom PTZ (point – tilt-zoom) camera is included, giving users pin sharp, crystal clear images. With support for dual-stream, dual-monitor and HD quality video via Skype and up to 11 connections (4x audio/video plus 7x audio), it boasts a 5MP camera and support for up to 720p display output. Smooth Skype integration allows offsite personnel to call remotely from any location at a moment’s notice, and all without the need for costly third-party clients or servers.
The SkyCongress Solo, a point-to-point system that includes AVer’s HVC130, is an “all-in-one”, cost effective video conferencing package that includes a unidirectional microphone, 720p output and the ability to connect up to four additional microphones for improved audio reception in large areas. A high quality, 5MP, 7 X Zoom PTZ (point – tilt-zoom) camera is included, giving users pin sharp, crystal clear images. The HVC130 can also conference with one Skype (audio / video) user or up to eight Skype audio only users via the VCBridge supplied in the SkyCongress Solo package.
Rounding off the range is the TrueCongress Solo, a point-to-point system utilising AVer’s EVC130, with full-HD (1080p) resolution, 720p content sharing and a wide angle 2MP fixed-focus camera with Point Tilt Zoom (PTZ). It also features an all-new microphone array with advanced audio processing that includes echo cancellation, noise reduction and gain control, making it ideal for use in schools, universities and the hospitality and healthcare sectors alongside the obvious benefits for SMBs.
All models also include a range of free software add-ons and applications to help streamline setup and operation across a wide range of platforms, resulting in hassle-free use and resolving many of the issues people typically have with VC calls. Users can remotely troubleshoot issues, manage calls and configure components, and AVer’s exclusive High Efficiency Lost Packet Recovery mechanism (HELPeR) optimises audio and video streaming by calibrating bandwidth and resolution for best results.
“We know from experience that there can be disadvantages to piecing together a complete VC solution, which include increased cost, set up time and issues with configuring the hardware to provide smooth operation,” says Nigel Roberts, Marketing Manager of AVer. “Our new Congress range combats all of these as the components for each unit have been carefully chosen to work seamlessly as a whole. This means hassle-free operation and one of the tidiest and most cost effective solutions on the market.”
