H.239 Video Now Available Through MOREnet Bridge

MOREnet is pleased to announce that as of Jan. 1, 2007, we will enable H.239, a new standard in videoconferencing technology, on the MOREnet video network. This feature enables participants in a MOREnet-bridged videoconference who have H.239-capable video units to view the presenter, desktop or other content and the local view all at the same time.

Use of H.239 is optional. Members who wish to take advantage of H.239 videoconferencing technology may contact MOREnet Video Services at (573) 884-6986 to find out if their equipment supports this new standard. MOREnet Video will turn on this functionality for a videoconference when requested to do so by the originating site. The originating site must verify that the video units at all participating sites are H.239 capable.

Additional information about the implementation of H.239 video will be available from the Videoconferencing Support area of the MOREnet website after the functionality is implemented in January.

For additional information, contact MOREnet Video Services at video@more.net.
