Huntington Beach, CA, February 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- BrightCom™, the performance leader in integrated telepresence and video conferencing solutions, announced today the release of the new ClearView Desktop Video Conferencing solution. The solution enables desktop users to easily connect to BrightCom’s Lumina Telepresence and ClearView Room and Mobile Cart Video Conferencing solutions as well as SIP enabled video conferencing systems.

“We are very excited to be launching the new ClearView Desktop,” said Bob McCandless, CEO of BrightCom. “As we extend our range of telepresence and video conferencing products, we always keep in mind our solutions’ ease of use. These solutions allow anyone in a business to push the big green button on the BrightCom remote to connect to whomever and wherever they want instantly. Our Desktop line is a perfect way to connect from a personal home or business office.”

The new desktop conferencing solution is powered by BrightCom’s Visual Collaboration System (VCS), a network based, software driven conferencing infrastructure that delivers video, audio and a full set of web conferencing capabilities. Desktop meeting participants are able to log into the VCS online meeting environment and can connect to other desktops, conference rooms, and telepresence suites around the world.

Mr. McCandless continued, “Several of our customers have also found that this new bundle is a great way for reaching out to their customers, personalizing the bundle and providing a new channel for customer service. This has helped many of them gain a stronger competitive edge in their respective industries.”

Desktop participants are able to use the VCS system to present data in its native format, allowing for the real-time collaboration and markup of information such diverse formats as Adobe PDF, PowerPoint or other Microsoft Office programs. Alongside multiple data broadcasts, VCS can display up to 16 video broadcasts with an unlimited number of meeting participants broadcasting from desktop web cams, conference rooms or telepresence suites. Broadcasts are shown in a multi-screen layout chosen by the meeting moderator and are automatically adjusted across the desktop monitor, or the number of screens at the participating endpoint.
