Lifesize Video Center full HD video conferencing recording & live on-demand streaming Malaysia

It can record and/or stream a few point-to-point and multipoint video conference sessions together in 720p30 HD video resolution. The recorded sessions can be used for on-demand playback whenever required.

The LifeSize Video Center will work with a LifeSize video conferencing system which acts as an streaming encoder at the event venue. The LifeSize video conferencing system will transcode the video and audio captured into 720p30/480p30/360p30 IP packages and send the packages to LifeSize Video Center for recording and streaming in flash format.

All the LifeSize video conferencing systems have the LIVE streaming encoder capability built-in. Thanks to the powerful processors used and ample memory of the LifeSize video conferencing codec. This approach eliminates the requirement of an external streaming encoder connected back-to-back with the video conferencing codec.

To start a LIVE streaming and/or recording, users just press the blue button on the remote control unit of the LifeSize video conferencing system. This can be done while the LifeSize video conferencing system is in a point-to-point or multipoint video conferencing calls, or not in a video conferencing call at all.

The LifeSize video conferencing system will then send a stream to the LifeSize Video Center for recording and/or LIVE streaming to all other users.
