| MDL Corporation introduces SCSICAM, a SCSI-based video conferencing system that allows multiple
heterogeneous workstation and Windows-based users to conference simultaneously over
standard TCP/IP networks. In addition to features such as application sharing, whiteboard,
videophone directory services, videophone call waiting and call holding, and video-email, SCSICAM lets users record any session to disk or
magnetic tape. SCSICAM's platform-independent hardware consists of a box containing the interface module, camera, speaker, and microphone. It installs in seconds by connecting the unit to the SCSI bus of any UNIX, NT, or Windows 95 system. The menu-driven software is both easy to install and easy to use. SCSICAM supports real-time, H.261 and H.263 teleconferencing standards, T.120 application sharing standards on selected platforms, RS-232C camera controls, TCP/IP and UDP. Highly compressed video codecs are available (H.320, H.323) to minimize bandwidth requirements, as well as SIF, CIF, and QCIF formats. SCSICAM also integrates audio codec for real-time H.728 and H.723.1 audio processing. Multiple NTSC or PAL video inputs are supported. SCSICAM has an introductory price of $1495. MDL Corporation is a recognized leader in SCSI system integration. MDL Corporation
