Compunetix simplifies PC video conferences Bernard Cole Monroeville, Pa. -- Compunetix, Inc. has just released a new video client application called STix, STix (Soft Terminal by Compunetix) that it says brings stand-alone H.323 compliant video application for the desktop, with little or no additional hardware or software.. Available initially on Microsoft Windows-based platforms, STix is intended to enable anyone with a PC to participate in a video conference from their workspace without the need to schedule the resources of a room system. "More and more people are accepting video conferencing as a preferred means for communication,” said Jim Klueber, the Division Manager for the Compunetix Video Systems Division. ”In a voice-only conversation, when a business person wants to make a call, they use their office phone or mobile phone rather than move to a conference room. The same should happen for a video call. Using STix, he said, the desktop user can participate in a high quality video call from the convenience of their workspace. Also, they can conduct text chat sessions, share files, draw on a whiteboard, and present slideshows through the same application. Unlike other popular desktop video applications, STix is completely standards-based, allowing one to conference with a wide variety of room and group video conferencing terminals from other vendors. Furthermore, when connected to the Compunetix EVERGREEN family of MCUs, the STix user can manage their own participation in a multipoint conference. To learn more, go to www.compunetix.com.
