These systems provide H.323 voice and video, as well as applications sharing. They offer easy installation and many have no add-in boards to install or bulky hardware to place on your desk.

Set-tops are complete videoconferencing systems designed to sit on a monitor. They are useful in small boardrooms and other small group scenarios. Set-top systems are often maintained on a cart, making it possible to roll them around for use in different rooms. Set-tops have excellent video quality and work well with auxiliary equipment, such as document cameras, to enhance videoconference presentations.
