The LifeSize Passport video conferencing system is compatible with any other system that uses current video conferencing standards via the internet. The brand of conferencing system on the other end is not important as long as it uses the commonly accepted IP based communications standards. These standards are known as H.264, H.263 & H.261.

The LifeSize Passport is a point-to-point communications device that uses standard internet infrastructure to transport the audio and video to the other end.

Dialing is done by “calling” the destination unit’s IP address.  Just as every phone has a phone number, every device connected to the network has an IP address.  The person you are calling will give you their IP address and you will “dial” that number.  This is an example of a typical IP address – 137.113.161.15.

The person you are talking to will also need to use some form of echo cancellation eitehr by using a headphone/mic or by closely controlling their speaker and microphone volumes.
