It provides up to FOUR TIMES the video resolution and half the latency of other multipoint systems.

Data Collaboration  IPContact’s data collaboration is the easiest, fastest, and most powerful you can get. You never have to attach a second PC for collaboration and everybody in your conference can see and manipulate any document being viewed.

Bandwidth Management 

You’d like multimedia communications capability, but are not exactly sure how your network will perform?   Not to worry—IPContact gives you the most complete set of bandwidth controls you can get.  You can choose fully automatic operation with dynamic bandwidth control, or quickly and easily implement rules that work with your bandwidth assets. Either way, IPContact puts you in control.  Support low bandwidth from 150kbps resolution to 768kbps (standard-version) or 1Mbps (pro-version) conferencing.

IPContact is one in a family of MediaCAST IP collaboration tools.  These products provide synchronous collaboration for users to communicate and interact who are physically separated from one another.  They allow "parallel collaboration" so your organization can choose to switch features on and off based on the need.  The toolset includes options for  VoIP audio conferencing, desktop sharing, video broadcasting, text chat and live Webcasts.
