Actis unveils Mobile Videoconferencing Solution

BANGALORE, INDIA: Actis Technologies, India’s most trusted audio visual specialists, has announced that it has launched the country’s first ever High Definition mobile videoconferencing solution – the Actis MVU series (MVU-1000P, MVU-1100MP, MVU-2000MP and MVU-2100MP).

These self-sufficient, integrated videoconferencing systems are mounted on a trolley with castors and allow businesses and institutions an unprecedented amount of flexibility. They can invest in one system for multiple rooms as the system can be moved from room-to-room on castors without disassembly, said a press release.

The MVU series videoconferencing trolley offers an unmatched High-Definition (1080p at 30-frames per-second) viewing experience and includes an integrated display (single or dual monitors), camera, codec, mike and speakers in the unit. Preconfigured to make videoconferencing calls within minutes (has ISDN and IP support), the MVU series is extremely cost-effective because of the greater bandwidth flexibility it offers and its adherence to open standards.



Ideal screen height enables excellent eye-contact between participants and a powerful remote driven interface makes operation extremely intuitive.

The Actis MVU series is targeted at the telepresence and videoconferencing industry which is fast becoming a powerful business tool in India. While the global industry is poised to grow into a $4.7 billion by 2014, Asia Pacific is expected to contribute $1.7 Billion, a recent Frost & Sullivan report revealed. With Actis’ new MVU series mobile videoconferencing system, organizations can enjoy more flexibility than what their specialized videoconferencing rooms can offer.

Commenting on the launch, Abhimanyu Gupta, director, Actis Technologies said, “Our new mobile videoconferencing system provides customers with a great degree of flexibility because they have point-to-point and multi-point capability, can adapt to various degrees of bandwidth availability and use open standards to provide easy compatibility with existing systems.”

While the Actis MVU Series allows easy integration with any existing or old videoconferencing solution, it functions well with as little as 128 Kbps upto 6 Mbps bandwidth speeds, ensuring cost-effectiveness in operation and real time PC content sharing, said the release.

The Actis MVU series will benefit enterprises with organizational and sales teams across locations in applications such as customer interaction, recruitment interviews, internal reviews, cross-location training etc. It is also suitable for educational institutions where it allows sharing of one system between multiple rooms. Expected to hit the market this September, the new MVUs will be priced in the range of Rs.7 lakh and Rs.14 lakh.
