RADVISION has announced the worldwide availability of its SCOPIA IVP 3.0 media processing server, offering media processing, ease of service creation and customization; ubiquitous service connectivity; Web app / content to 3G mobile rendering; and more.

 

Company officials said that the SCOPIA Interactive Video Platform (IVP) is designed to play a vital role in the way service providers, enterprises and developers create and deploy interactive video services for integration with existing networks.

 

Equipped with advanced processing capabilities, SCOPIA IVP enables enterprises and service providers to combine interactive live and stored content on one screen.

 

In addition, it also allows for personalized video services, along with enabling “Context-Aware (News - Alert)” services and build social and community video applications for both entertainment and business.

 

Officials said that SCOPIA IVP’s open API enables the creation of any video application by leveraging DSP-based media processing building blocks.

 

Moreover, from a range of off-the-shelf applications, such as Video IVRs to the multi-party/full featured solutions requiring transcoding and advanced media processing functionalities, SCOPIA IVP enables enterprises and service providers to extend their applications as their business grows.

 

“SCOPIA IVP is a smart delivery platform that determines the individual capabilities of end-user devices and seamlessly delivers top video quality for each user based on the capabilities of their end point or network connectivity, supporting 3G handsets, IP Phones, desktop soft clients, video room systems and more, including seamless traversal of FW / NAT between user’s endpoint and IVP,” said Zeev Bikowsky, General Manager of Networking Business Unit at RADVISION.

 

Last month, RADVISION announced advancements to its SCOPIA Conferencing Platform. Available as a software upgrade to existing SCOPIA deployments, Version 5.6 delivers enhancements across the entire SCOPIA platform including the SCOPIA MCU, SCOPIA Desktop, and the iVIEW Management Suite.
