Ra’anana, Israel -  May 28, 2008: ZONE-IP (LSE:ZIP) announces that its subsidiary, Emblaze-VCON, a leading provider of video communications technologies and conferencing solutions for government agencies, operators, broadcasters and corporate enterprise markets over IP networks, has delivered another industry first with the release of its all-in-one, high definition Multipoint Control Unit (MCU),  VCBPro 7, the first MCU on the market to deliver integrated session-recording and streaming capabilities.

The VCBPro, which integrates high definition, 720p multipoint conferencing, advanced video management capabilities and scheduling in a single, cost-effective appliance, now also offers a high definition, WMV session-recording capability that enables every videoconference to be recorded, stored and forwarded. The VCBPro also now contains the unique WMV streaming feature that allows live streaming of point-to-point or multipoint conferences while hundreds or thousands of users can watch the stream through a standard Windows Media Player.
    
An advanced yet easy-to-use solution that optimizes enterprise videoconferencing systems, the VCBPro includes an embedded MXM, Emblaze-VCON's award-winning, full-feature management tool for exceptional video network management and total gateway functionality for legacy and advanced technologies. From a single console, it provides the ability to configure, monitor, upgrade and enforce company conferencing policies on any videoconferencing client in the organization.  The MXM also offers a full suite of tools for centrally managing and administering bandwidth requirements as well as QoS prioritization for each endpoint, a billing engine and reporting capabilities. Full video telephony features include: follow me, forward when busy, no answer, pick-up, easy dialing to systems outside the organization and directory listing.

The VCBPro comprises features such as Continuous Presence intelligent conference layouts for up to 25 participants at a time, and a special Presenter Mode for remote education and other vertical markets. Users can invite any number of participants to an ad-hoc or prescheduled conference at any bandwidth and video resolution. The VCBPro includes all the latest audio, video and data algorithms, ensuring that calls involving standards-based videoconferencing endpoints connect and operate smoothly. The VCBPro is scalable from 6 to 36 ports and now offers a unique and configurable cascading capability across multiple VCBs for larger conferences.

The VCBPro Manager offers full-featured, web-based applications for scheduling, status monitoring, configuration and conference moderation capabilities. During conferences, managers have chair control options, and can change display layouts. Additional conference moderation capabilities include adding/removing participants, and starting/stopping multicast streaming of the conference. Administrators can also set up call services which are used to connect multipoint calls. The Manager interface is intuitive, user-friendly and can be viewed in several different languages.
