The Pixavi approach
The general idea of video conferencing today is based on face to face communications, to enable participants in meetings to see each other from different locations. Pixavi has since 1999 offered a new way of utilizing video conferencing and collaboration technology. Having the benefit of the latest wireless technology, video compression codecs and the fastest processing power in a compact, wearable design, the Pixavi customers are able to take the organizational expertise to wherever it is needed.
The Xcaster is an extremely rugged device, featuring an aluminum housing and impact protection technology.
Familiar and intuitive user interface
The Xcaster features a blend between two worlds: video conferencing and mobile phones. By using well known symbols and interfaces, users will automatically know how to operate the product, without the need for extensive training.
Connectivity and external features
Through a long range of connectivity options, the Xcaster can be connected to external video devices, audio devices, power sources, networking gear, peripherals, storage devices antennas and displays.
Wearability
The incorporation of hands free operation is an important element in remote video collaboration. The user must have the ability to freely use his or her hands in order for optimum flexibility in communication. Wearability is a key element in the product
Our mobile video conferencing products have always been designed with ergonomics and user friendly operation in focus. Wearability is an important aspect in this conjunction. The 1000 and 2000 series were both integrated in a vest suit. The 3000 and 3100 series were a combination of handheld and wearable design. The new Xcaster is also a combination of a handheld and wearable system.
Mobile tele presence
Today's applications for telepresence are tied to the meeting rooms. What about taking telepresence a step further and bring it out of the meeting rooms and into the field, where the improved video quality can start making a difference?
The Xcaster brings the ability to take your telepresence conference out in the field, with the support for high definition 720p video and high quality audio. The added function of real time transfer of 5 megapixel images makes this a very unique tool for advanced communication and collaboration.
Subscription free
The Xcaster is based on licence free networking protocols like 802.11 Wifi, Bluetooth, 802.16 Wimax and Ethernet. There is no need for a network subscription. Just connect a Wifi access point to the Internet and you can start dialing any party connected to the internet, being a PC, video conferencing system or a mobile phone. No fixed fee, no running fee. That's IP telephony.
Top notch ergonomic design
The Xcaster features A dual function grip with full simultaneous button thumb access. The grip is also GlooveProof™ for rough and industrial applications in demanding environments.
Right hand : Action grip
The right hand grip is the action grip, which is used when streaming, recording or taking snapshots, having all the action buttons available within the action radius of your thumb. This includes a dial button, zoom buttons, record button, navigation button and snapshot button.
Left hand : offline grip
The left grip is the offline grip, intended for PDA style interaction, with access to the navigation buttons, "hang up" button , mode button, address book and free access to the touch screen with your right hand, managing recorded contents and interacting with remote participants via image sharing.
Interaction method of your choice
Taking it a step further, the Xcaster has the ability to be independently operated in three ways: via a remote Web based GUI, via the keypad or via the touch screen. The web interface enables the remote party to control all the features of the Xcaster, meaning that the local user only needs to know how to hold the camera to start using it.
Quality from end to end
The Xcaster is utilized when there is a need for rich communication, beyond what telephones, cellulars, PDAs, videophones and stationary video conferencing systems can offer. The Xcaster brings the ability to share information with anyone, anywhere. High quality video (HD) , CD quality audio and high resolution still images (5 megapixels) are transferred in real time full duplex between users. The participants can also interact through image and application sharing. Due to the Xcaster’s rugged and intrincically safe certifications it can be utilized in virtually any environment. It can handle water depths of 10 meters, 4 joule impact and 2 meter drops. The Xcaster comes EX certified for hazardous areas according to the ATEX/IEC norms.
