To ensure proper functionality of CyraCom’s Video Remote Interpretation service, the following requirements must be met:

Computer Access

Our VRI services are available on any computer capable of streaming video. With Polycom software and a web camera of reasonable quality, workstations can easily turn into VRI stations.

Video Conferencing Unit

All Polycom video conferencing equipment is compatible with our video interpretation solution. We currently do not support units from other manufacturers. We also offer a custom-built video conferencing unit specifically designed for VRI.

Bandwidth

An internet connection with a minimum bandwidth of 512 kbps is required for calls on all platforms. On shared networks, Quality of Service or other network prioritization is necessary to ensure acceptable video quality.

Firewall

Our solution is based on H.323 communication. To allow video conferencing traffic to pass in and out of your local network, you must allow the H.323 protocol suite for outbound communications.

Mobility

Identify areas where a video conferencing unit will be used and ensure that network ports are configured for internet access.

Testing

You can test your system to see if it can connect to our network, either through Polycom® video conferencing equipment or by downloading the trial version of Polycom’s® PVX software to your PC or laptop and connecting from there. You can obtain the number to dial from your equipment or PVX software by contacting us.
