TANDBERG Unveils New MXP Technology

TANDBERG introduced a new technology, based on industry standards, that improves audio and video quality while adding collaboration tools and advanced multiple-site capabilities. Specifically, the new technology delivers:

  • digital audio with CD-quality stereo sound based on he MPEG4 AAC-LD standard ratified by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).


  • SIP-readiness to take advantage of future IP telephony applications and infrastructure, extending the enhanced feature set of IP PBX solutions to video.


  • H.264 support for high-quality video on lower bandwidth when sharing rich media while maintaining face-to-face communication, when keeping a call secure and when collaborating among multiple sites.


  • an expanded embedded multipoint capability that enables up to eleven audio and video participants in a single call. All participants can link to the call at the highest quality supported by their video systems.


  • advanced display technologies to fully leverage digital displays and projectors. The preferred layout of participants and rich media on a single monitor can be selected with the touch of a button. Additionally, a digital video interface provides for accurate imaging.


The MXP technology can now be found on TANDBERG's portfolio for medium to large groups, including set-tops, rollabouts, portables and codecs. Additionally, MXP is supported by the new large multipoint control unit, TANDBERG MPS. http://www.tandberg.net/
