10 1 Overview Figure 1-1 TP3206 telepresence room 1.2 Sensory Experience Handshake Effect The telepresence system provides you with true-to-life audio-visual experience. Participants can express their ideas using words, actions, expressions, and eye contact, bringing people closer and helping them build a trustworthy relationship with customers and partners. The telepresence system creates the real time ambience of a round-table conference. The telepresence system even allows users to "shake hands" with remote users. The HD displays make the local participants feel as though they are sitting with the remote participants face to face. In addition, the display on the left and right sides on the screen is the same as the actual settings at the remote end. When a local participant and a remote participant offer their right hands at the same time, a real visual effect of handshake can be experienced Face-to-Face Experience HD video: The telepresence system supports the HD video at 1080p 50Hz or 1080p 60Hz resolution. Eye contact: The telepresence system allows eye contact between participants. That is, remote participants can look straight at local participants. Image stitching: The telepresence system supports the stitching of multiple channels of video streams. For example, when a participant walks along the table, the HD displays can display the continuous and complete motion of the participant. 2

11 1 Overview Sound Localization The telepresence system has professional sound field design and supports wideband audio, stereo, and sound localization. When remote participants speak from different directions, the sounds are transmitted from the corresponding audio channels, offering users real sound field experience. 1.3 Major Features Multiple Conference Modes Point-to-point conferences Multipoint conference HD Video 1080p 50Hz high-definition (HD) video 1080p 60Hz HD video Three-Channel Audio H.239 Dual Stream Broadband stereo Sound localization Simultaneous transmission of video and presentation through two independent channels Sharing of computer desktop as presentation Presentation plug and share Script Network Script editing from the Telepresence System Manager Script control from the touch panel Display of scripts on the center HD display during conferences Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Internet Protocol (IP) and 4E1 access modes H.323 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) The telepresence system cannot use H.323 and SIP simultaneously.

12 1 Overview Central Management Using the Telepresence Host Touch Panel UI Management of devices, including the codecs, co-optical center camera, HD display, tabletop displays, microphones, and high fidelity acoustic system Web-based management from the Telepresence System Manager Nine languages supported User-friendly UI designs One-tap-to-join-conference from the conference schedules list Call initiation from the keypad or the address book, and conference control during multipoint conferences 1.4 Reliable Security Features The telepresence system supports the following security features to ensure a stable and reliable conferencing environment: Anti-attack protocols and interfaces The communication port matrix is provided in the product documentation. The services and ports not mentioned in the communication port matrix must not be enabled. Of the enabled communication ports, the ports used for system management as well as the protocols used by the ports have access authentication mechanisms. The telepresence system supports media stream encryption and TLS signaling encryption during voice services to ensure user data integrity. Web security During login authentication, the telepresence system uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) to transmit the user name and password to the server. User accounts are manageable. Users with the highest level privileges can enable or disable other accounts. All account passwords are changeable. Protection over sensitive data User login passwords are stored in the system after being encrypted using the irreversible message digest algorithm 5 (MD5). By default, the wireless router uses the Wi-Fi protected access II pre-shared key (WPA2-PSK) as the authentication mode. During network gatekeeper (GK) or SIP registration or the process of saving a 4E1 or conference control password, the telepresence system uses HTTPS transmission. During fault location, the telepresence system filters or anonymizes personal data exported from the system. The logs and configuration files exported from the system do not contain any sensitive data. No private encryption algorithms are used. System management and maintenance security The telepresence system supports the maintenance and management using HTTPS and Secure Shell (SSH). The telepresence system's switch performs VLAN partition to separate public and private networks and ensure the communication security within the private network. 4

13 1 Overview The telepresence system software has been scanned using at least one type of mainstream antivirus software before release. The user client software used for system maintenance and management provides a digital signature and verification tool that can be used to verify software integrity during installation and upgrades to protect the software from unauthorized changes. All physical ports used for system management that are visible on the product exterior have access authentication mechanisms. Users must enter their user names and passwords to access the ports. System logs record all user activities and operation commands associated with device or system management for future audits. A log contains all the details, such as the user ID, event time, event type, name of the resource that has been accessed, and access results. The system controls users' rights to access logs. 1.5 Two UIs The telepresence system provides two user interfaces (UIs) for the following two types of users: Telepresence System Manager UI: From this UI, system administrators configure and control devices and set conference parameters. For details, see 2 Using the Telepresence System Manager. Touch panel UI: From this UI, users initiate and control conferences. For details, see 3 Using the Touch Panel. 5
