Integrates with all Lifesize video endpoints for seamless single button recording and streaming.

Perfect for recording video calls or in standalone mode, the video is instantly available on the Video Centre portal to be shared publically or kept private to a group of particular users. Also popular for compliance where calls must be recorded and kept for a period of time.

Lifesize UVC Video Centre can be used to webcast to hundreds or thousands of viewers using their desktops, laptops or mobile devices. Suited to large town hall meetings with web chat or embedded as a fully public webcast, UVC Video Centre performs 24/7.

768 Kbps 720p30 20 2,000 350 2,600
384 Kbps 480p30 40 4,000 400 5,200
270 Kbps 360p30 50+ 5,000 450 7,800

Each of the above concurrent recordings/live viewers/on-demand viewers are independent numbers. Presentation stream was not part of the recorded stream. Data is based on Lifesize internal testing, using Lifesize 220s.

*Data presented requires 20 recording licenses or more. Under 20 licenses, concurrent recording and viewers are fixed at any bitrate.

**Through NIC bonding on Lifesize UVC hardware and VMware.
