AddPac AP-VP500 IP video conference phone

Review

New World of Advanced and High Quality IP Video Communications Opens!

AP-VP500 is a new IP video conference phone where Internet voice communications are combined with Internet video communications. This product provides advanced features and services such as video codecs (e.g. H.263, MPEG-4, H.264, and JPEG), RCA A/V I/O interfaces, QoS, and public IP sharing as well as multiple VoIP signaling protocols such as SIP and H.323. 

“Advanced Video Communications”, New Criterion of Selecting a Video Phone 

AP-VP500 is a high-performance multi-functional IP video phone where the state-of-the-art video processing technology is added to the voice processing technologies developed by AddPac in the multimedia IP telephony field. AP-VP500 has better video features since it ensures 720P high definition video due to a high-quality 12 Inch LCD and you can enjoy a large screen connected to the external monitor. Since AP-VP500 supports networks of 64 Kbps to several Mbps, it is available at any Internet-enabled place. Above all, AP-VP500 ensures the best video quality due to the ‘rate control’ function that ensures the best video quality and frame rate at a limited bandwidth and the high-end error resilience technology for troubleshooting various packet failures on the Internet.

Experience Significant Video Streaming Efficiency

In case of MPEG-4, AP-VP500 supports max. 30 frames of VGA(640×480) images which is considered promising for the high quality video application. The AP-VP500 IP video conference phone supports the 720P(1280x720) HD video display. In this HD display mode of AP-VP500, VGA level video image fr om remote site can be display at HD Screen without video downscale. 

Firmware Upgrade Enabled 

The high-performance RISC CPU and DSP of AP-VP500 are all programmable; thus, the features of AP-VP500 can continue to be improved, changed, or added. If you download an added or changed feature fr om the home page directly or set an automatic upgrade option whenever feature addition or change is done, you can use the latest feature without further operations. 

Various Supplementary Services 

The supplementary services of AP-VP500 as well as its various features would meet your needs. AP-VP500 provides various services that allow you to use a phone easily, which include a phone book, a latest call log, and Caller ID (CID). Also, this product as well as AddPac IP-PBX solutions supports a wide variety of supplementary services such as voice and video mail services in addition to calling services such as a call transfer. The advantage of AP-VP500 is to support the unique supplementary services of AddPac. Broadcasting, instant messaging, IPTV, and network camera are the main supplementary services of AddPac Technology. If AP-VP500 is connected to the AddPac Technology’s IP broadcasting server equipment, IP voice and video broadcasting could be transmitted or received at any place connected to AP-VP500. This product inter-works with the instant messaging server, IPTV server, and network DVR solution of AddPac to provide advanced services. 

Reliable Video Conference Phone 

AP-VP500 is integrated network equipment that enables routing, NAT/PAT, DHCP Server/Relay, public IP sharing, and QoS. Advanced QoS and security as well as various network services should be supported to adapt to a variety of network environments such as high-speed individual subscriber networks (e.g. xDSL, cable networks, and FTTH), Metro Ethernet, Metro ATM, leased lines, and flexible IPs. In this regard, AP-VP500 has two 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports to support a variety of network and security services such as high-performance LAN-to-LAN routing, bridge, and NAT/PAT. In addition, AP-VP500 supports H.323 and SIP VoIP signaling protocols concurrently. The technologies of AP-VP500 are differentiated fr om those of the traditional equipments in that one AP-VP500 supports two VoIP signaling protocols concurrently; thus, even if AP-VP500 moves to another Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) whose VoIP signaling protocol is different, AP-VP500 can easily adapt to a new environment without change. AP-VP500 is a reliable solution that ensures good technologies.

USB Interface

The rear panel of AP-VP500 has the USB master mode interface. AP-VP500 supports standard USB flash memory, a USB hard disk, a USB keyboard, and a USB mouse. Several USB devices can be connected by using a USB hub. A separate power supply device should be used for a USB device that requires much power consumption since lim ited power is supplied to the USB device. If USB memory is used, AP-VP500 enables a file browser, and decodes MP3, JPEG, PMA (AddPac Technology Proprietary Video Stream Format) files. Video data that require much memory can be saved in external USB memory. 

Privacy and Security

AP-VP500 supports reliable service security as well as network access security. This product allows you to check the target phone number before answering a phone through Caller ID Detection (CID) and to disable the audio or video functions easily by using the wireless remote control. If you select the 'Privacy' menu, you can disable either or both of voice and video in advance.

AddPac Technology's VoIP gateway, IP-PBX series and various multimedia products such as video phone, video conference have been highly appraised with their advanced performance and reliability by worldwide customers. With its years of experience and know-who would make AP-VP500 as the ultimate solution for next-generation IP video telephony service.
