Las Vegas, NV (COMDEX L5640)- November 16, 1998 ELSA, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) today announced a new desktop videoconference system for IP-network and ISDN.

ELSAvision^™ II fulfills all requirements for first-class cooperation between workstations and remote locations. The differences can be recognized primarily through support of the conferencing standards H.323 and H.320 and the support of the different working systems. The system can be integrated with Windows 98- and Windows 95-based PC workstations. Owners of ELSAvision II can choose videoconferencing over ISDN (H.320) or local network via an IP address (H.323). In addition to Windows 98 and Windows 95, ELSAvision II also supports Windows NT 4.0.

The targeted use of ELSAvision II is to support daily work. The communication between colleagues and business partners at remote locations is simpler and more flexible. Multiple conferencing functions documents can be viewed and discussed together, thereby saving costs by eliminating many meetings and business trips.
