Wind River's Android platform enables conference system
Bosch Security Systems has released the DCN multimedia conference system which utilises OMNEO, an IP-based media networking architecture, and includes user-friendly touch-screen multimedia devices. Wind River provided an optimised Android software platform and comprehensive software integration services for the system, helping Bosch to concentrate on delivering innovative features and shortening time-to-market.
Appropriate for city councils, regional councils and boardrooms, the DCN multimedia conference system includes conference features such as the integration of audio, video and meeting content with internet access in one single system for enhanced participation and presentation effectiveness. The DCN multimedia conference system is a highly interoperable, flexible and reliable platform that delivers greater connectivity and multimedia capabilities. For example, during the conference, documents and presentations can be retrieved, shared and displayed using the internet-enabled multimedia devices equipped with high-resolution capacitive touchscreens. Based on open standards, the DCN multimedia conference system allows the use of custom-made or third-party apps to enhance the meeting experience even further. In total, these features provide the system with a high level of scalability to grow as customers’ requirements evolve.
