In order to cope with the challenge of the new technology revolution around the world, the State Information Center (SIC) was founded in 1986 by the authorization of State Council to provide high-quality decision-making consultation services for State Council and other macro-economic comprehensive administration departments.

State Information Center decided to build up the networking video conference system to strengthen communication and supervision, while actively participating in the process of national IT decision-making, important issue researching and key IT project constructing. State Information Center organized local tests in 6 provinces, in which AVCON was evaluated as the best-in-class vendor with its excellent performance when compared with various competitors from home and abroad.

AVCON was required to build up online videoconference systems and realize the application to cover 31 provinces (autonomic areas and municipalities), 16 sub-provincial cities, cities on the list, regional cities, and more than 1200 counties around the nation. They had to make the national economic information system cover the whole country and form a complete information communication system.

The AVCON videoconference system has the robust technology to support hundreds of users to enter the same conference at the same time and engage in continuous discussion. It enables 1,600 information centers, and more than 13,000 professional expertise teams to achieve frequent communication and collaboration.

The AVCON videoconference system enables the gathering and broadcasting of multi-video signals locally and remotely, desktop office, conference board, and the sharing of applications. It also supports the labeling of application sharing programmes to bring participators the vivid "face to face" communication experience which will improve productivity, even though they may be thousands of miles apart. As a result, this resolves the problems around time and work delays which were caused distances between staff which affected training, conferences and information gathering exercises.

As requested by State Information Center, the system built up by AVCON independently can control and adjust video and audio remotely. It enables the display mode of double-screen output to display local and remote video signals on different monitors, support functions such as Acoustic Echo Chancellor (AEC), Noise Suppression (NS), and Automatic Gain Control (AGC), etc. Therefore, State Information Center can take advantage of the AVCON videoconference system to present the participants with a realistic conference experience as if they are on the scene to and enjoy easy communication without taking business trips. It can be applied to various activities, such as themed education lectures, seminars, summit forums for communication between China and foreign countries, and the planning and consultation for large construction projects, etc

After analysing the work of State Information Center and the specific expectation for the system, AVCON deployed its independently-developed router MCU which supports multi-level connection on the basis of SIC's proprietary 2M channel and optical fiber broadband. When the network is not good, MCU can select the best transmitting path automatically to make the video presentations in the conference show clearly and fluently. In addition, MCUs can balance the loads off each other. As a result, when one MCU is powered off or attacked by a virus during SIC's important conference, the rest of the MCUs could continue to perform the function to keep the meeting carrying on successfully without any interruption.

The AVCON videoconference system for State Information Center includes multiple international leading video and audio technologies, such as H263+, H263++, self-invented X264 CBR and X264 VBR online video encode and decode technologies, G723.1, AVCONWB multimedia compressing technologies. Each channel can offer up to 704*576 resolution, 32bit color and 30frames/s online video speed, and supports GIPS audio arithmetic, high fidelity voice which equals the quality of DVD. The system also enables the functions of Acoustic Echo Chancellor (AEC), Automatic Gain Control (AGC), Noise Suppression (NS), Voice Activity Detection (VAD), and Jitter Buffer etc.

AVCON videoconference system for State Information Center can provide functions of Video on Demand (VOD), Live Video/Multicast, and Online Viewing to realize "face to face" interaction communication. And any customer can record video for each conference scene synchronously, including multi-parties' video and audio mirror, speech documents, charts, keynotes and other communication materials.

The monitor system of the AVCON videoconference system can control remote cameras to change direction and adjust focus flexibly. For example, it can control MG-CS616 high-performance camera to change aperture, focus and depth of field. while enabling the omnidirectional movement control for the camera.

The security strategy of the AVCON videoconference system mainly aims at the security configuration for the operating system and the platform on which products run encryption transmitting under SSL network communication protocol. The user's direct connection and data connection to administrative systems, services and ability to access the database at background, select databases for backup, protect the security of users' important data and the whole database.

At the beginning of 21st century, China's information project has stepped on the speedway. Boosting the progress of national economic and social reconstruction has become one of the country's most significant strategies. Facing both opportunities and challenges, State Information Center takes advantage of the online videoconference system to pave the way to construct information systems to improve its development.

After implementing AVCON videoconference system, State Information Center has successfully held some large scale conferences, such as Chinese Economists 50 Forum, Work Report Conference of National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), Information Seminar for Colleges' Library and etc. The AVCON videoconference system has shown outstanding performance while enabling SIC to exchange the scholarship achievements easily with other parties. With the realistic video and audio effect and intelligent.multifunctional data transmitting, it completely resolves concerns that the cost of meetings is too high and information gathering is slow, and increasingly helps SIC gain more benefits.

State Information Center speaks high of the AVCON system for its agile and reliable performance. In their sincere opinions AVCON is a professional videoconference system solution provider whose product combines hardware and software well and enables to it to be expanded and upgraded further with high compatibility and excellent performance price, featuring clear and fluent video and audio. The system can support hundreds of users to enter conferences together without interruption. SIC believes that the AVCON videoconference system includes the best-in-class technologies for encoding, decoding and compressing signals, media combination and sync, multimedia communication network and provides the best user access in China.
