Nefsis Dedicated:
On-Premise Video Conferencing Software Option


You can install Nefsis on your own network server, in your own DMZ. This option provides the most extensive security, routing, feature and user-level controls.


The Most Powerful Video Conferencing Software

Nefsis delivers advanced multipoint video conferencing with any desktop, camera or room. You get high quality, business-grade video with shared internet access, and HD, telepresence quality where bandwidth permits. Nefsis also provides a full suite of web collaboration tools for a complete online meeting solution, webcam to HD, desktop to boardroom.

With Nefsis Online, you can start a FREE trial right now and experiment with all the features. Nefsis Online is our most popular product choice. However, for customers that demand more user, feature, access, routing and security controls, we offer Nefsis Dedicated.

Nefsis Dedicated is installable, on-premise video conferencing server software that runs on your server, in your DMZ or hosting facility. You can restrict conference documents to your server, and apply user and feature-level restrictions not available in standard online services. You can also take advantage of server placement to implement performance, routing and QoS controls.

Advanced Technology

Take Advantage of Multi-Core Processors You Already Have

Nefsis uses the most advanced, multi-core parallel processing from end-to-end, including multiple cores on your own PC. In addition, Nefsis takes advantage of multimedia processor extensions, further improving the quality of live sharing and multipoint video

As your organization goes through a typical desktop technology refresh cycle, your video processing power naturally goes up without any further investment. With Nefsis, your organization will always be a step ahead with Moore's Law.

Use Any Connection Type

Nefsis advanced technology includes automated throttling to govern video quality, bandwidth, and CPU availability. You can use default video quality settings, or manually set video resolution, frame rate, or compression quality in real-time. Nefsis will gray-out any setting that cannot be supported under current bandwidth conditions. This provides the flexibility to conference with any desktop or room, over any connection type: shared internet access with nominal bandwidth, or dedicated routes with ample bandwidth for multipoint HD.  More on bandwidth & QoS ...

Superior Connection Success Rates

Nefsis real-time routing has powered secure, inter-office messaging, live sharing and communications applications for over 11 years. Nefsis firewall and proxy traversal supports a long list of industry standard ports, proxy connections, and vendor-specific optimizations developed over successive generations to give you the best connection success rates in multi-office environments. In addition, when you connect to your virtual conference server, Nefsis steps you through its connection optimizer, which tries multiple ports, direct connections, proxy connections, and so on, selecting the best port and connection type available for each user at that point in time.

These features work together to get you connected with virtually any business desktop or conference room worldwide. Our customers use Nefsis over the public Internet and their own LANs, WANs and VPNs.

Standard Peripherals Lower Cost

Webcams & Conference Room HD Cameras

Why over-pay for proprietary solutions, when off-the-shelf video conferencing equipment, webcams, HD cameras and flat panel displays are readily available? With Nefsis, you can use any audio/video peripheral you like, there is no need to match equipment. You can use popular webcams, conference room pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, HD, or no camera at all.

Headsets, Microphones & VoIP

The same technology that delivers multipoint video, also delivers wideband, full-duplex voice over IP audio. Nefsis VoIP is a natural part of your online meeting experience. It sounds better than the telephone, giving you the flexibility to replace travel and per-minute teleconferencing expenses, with fixed-price web, VoIP and video conferencing.

Nefsis audio is multiparty, full-duplex, so multiple people can speak at the same time, just like meeting in person.  Advanced audio technology such as acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), automatic gain control (AGC), and comfort noise generation (CNG), all add up to the best sounding, multiparty VoIP available.

Just like cameras above, Nefsis is broadly compatible with a wide variety of microphones, headsets and conference room audio equipment at costs far below proprietary solutions.

Comprehensive Live Sharing Features

Nefsis has a built-in, full-suite of web conferencing features for sharing virtually anything accessible to your PC. This includes documents, live desktops and applications, whiteboards, and text chat windows. Nefsis takes group collaboration software to the next level: You can annotate documents, presentations, and live applications; distribute files and handouts; and even play media files. What's more, the advanced parallel processing and automated throttling technologies described above lets you use all of these features in a fully interactive, multipoint VoIP and video conference without bogging down your PC.

Share Documents & Presentations

Nefsis provides high-quality document and PowerPoint presentation sharing. Nefsis does not take a screen grab, it displays rich text and graphics for all participants, just as if these documents were displayed by their native applications. Nefsis provides thumbnail views of each page, so you can easily skip back and forth during your presentation. For advanced users, Nefsis provides options to raise or lower the compression quality for document graphics, providing more flexibility for specific scenarios such as medical imaging and engineering services, where high quality is required. 

Share Live Applications with Annotation & Remote Control

Nefsis live sharing -- desktop, application, region and browser -- let you display anything on your computer desktop. To highlight specific areas, you can use region sharing, and set the lasso over the area of interest; or take advantage of the Nefsis annotation toolbar and use pointers and highlighting tools. These capabilities are useful in sales, training, engineering services, healthcare, or any scenario where live interaction or complex subject matter is shared.

For group collaboration, Nefsis provides remote control in all live sharing features. Once remote control is requested and granted, another user can run the live application while everyone else watches.

Hand-Outs & File Transfer

Nefsis provides online meeting hosts and presenters with a Files & Handouts feature, making it easy to distribute documents during working meetings, just as you would do if meeting in person.

Play a Movie File

The Nefsis virtual meeting environment lets you share virtually anything on your PC, even media files (WMV and other movie files).  It's as easy as clicking the share Media File button, selecting a WMV or other movie file, and then clicking on the VCR-like media controls for play and pause, fast-forward and rewind. Depending on such factors as the bandwidth, encoding and size of the media file, Nefsis will play the file at full resolution, or within limits, automatically adjusting quality so that everyone sees the same content in real-time.

Nefsis is not a heavily buffered streaming application. The media file is played in real-time, and everyone in the conference gets the same experience simultaneously. The presenter can play and pause the movie, discuss the contents, and watch everybody's reaction via Nefsis multipoint video.

Record & Playback

Nefsis Record & Playback lets you record everything in your virtual conferencing session, including live sharing and multipoint VoIP and video.  Nefsis uses industry standard file formats (AVI, Flash/FLV), so that you can use these files with other applications.
