Lync Streaming Gateway

Imagine being able to share sensitive video  and  data, collaborate in real-time and make informed command decisions. Imagine giving employees or students  access to IP  television or deliver a webcast to every person in your organization – without them ever leaving their Microsoft Lync environment.

Streaming Solutions for Microsoft Lync

VBrick’s Lync Streaming Gateway integrated with VEMS or VEMS Mystro™ brings streaming video to users via Microsoft’s Lync unified communications interface. From Lync, people are able to access both live- and on-demand video – making high impact information available right on the desktop. Availability status of content is displayed via Video Buddies™, a unique innovation from VBrick that associates video content with contacts in Lync. With Video Buddies, users are able to easily access video content and then use the voice, text and screen-sharing collaboration tools in Lync to make quick decisions. Since Video Buddies doesn’t require any desktop software downloads, a streaming video service is easy for a group’s IT department to deploy and administer.

Introducing your Video Buddy™

With the Lync Streaming Gateway and Video Buddies, executives can broad- cast time-sensitive information to thousands of desktops at a time. Officials can facilitate restoration of essential functions by sharing real-time first responder feeds, live television broadcasts and security monitoring video across multiple agencies.
