Wow, they build many VP's and there is no end coming in our sight. VRS are in the compeition in USA!
Clearwater, FL [July 3, 2008] - CSDVRS, LLC, will introduce The Z™, a family of innovative videophones and software, during the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) conference held in New Orleans, La., July 7-12. The Z™ family is groundbreaking and brings the next generation of communications for both video relay services (VRS) and point-to-point video communications.
"We're confident people will be impressed by the stunning designs and ease of use delivered by these videophones," said Chris Wagner, CSDVRS Vice President of Marketing. "The Z™ videophones offer outstanding resolution and quality, two of the most important features for video relay services. When you have poor video quality, the videophone essentially becomes frustrating to use. This challenge was foremost in our quest for The Z™ and CSDVRS is very proud of what we have accomplished."
The Z™ family of videophones and software has been tested in the general market with great success and promises to provide CSDVRS customers with enhanced video call experiences. With three models of The Z™ to choose from, customers can choose from the video communications option that best meet their needs.
The Z™ Model Z-IP-340
CSDVRS has created a customized model The Z™ to fit the needs of deaf and hard of hearing VRS customers. The Z-IP-340 is the perfect videophone for everyone. For people on the go, the Z-IP-340 is a compact and portable videophone that delivers high-quality video using either broadband or built-in wireless Internet access. With a seven-inch, plastic-covered, high quality screen that can be closed for easier carrying, this sleek, black videophone can be used anywhere as a stand-alone videophone or can be attached to a television. The videophone also can be easily mounted on a wall.
Measuring 7.5 inches by 6 inches and weighing less than two pounds, this is the lightest, smallest videophone on the VRS market. The external battery provides up to two hours of video, with additional batteries available to allow many hours of battery operation. Other features include an onscreen keyboard and a remote control, your personal contacts, your call history, and standard 802.11x WiFi technology.
The Z™Model Z-T150
The Z™ Z-T150 is an elegantly designed, all-in-one videophone that has a built-in, high quality 8.4-inch LCD screen and an easy-to-use keypad. Space-efficient, this stand-alone videophone is the perfect addition to a business or a home office. Measuring 6.6 inches by 7.3 inches, The Z-T150 conveniently fits on any desk and does not require an external monitor or TV. The Z-T150 is manufactured by the leader in videoconferencing technology and provides an incredible experience for users who rely on VRS for their everyday business and/or personal needs.
The Z™ Model PC-100
This version of The Z™ is customized videophone software that turns a laptop computer or desktop computer into a superior videophone. This next-generation software has been designed to make it very easy to make VRS or voice carry-over (VCO) calls from a PC by incorporating the latest in video technology with features such as personal contacts, call history and a call recording system that allows the recording of calls for later review. The Z™ PC-100 also makes it easy to use VRS, make calls, or receive calls.
All models of The Z™ will operate seamlessly with the new Call-by-Name service that allows deaf and hard of hearing users to place calls to each other from any popular videophone - without needing to know an IP address. This is a free service offered by CSDVRS. Each model of The Z™ also comes with a 10-digit telephone number that allows hearing people to call CSDVRS customers directly - without using extension numbers.
CSDVRS will demonstrate each model of The Z™ at the NAD conference and will begin delivering the videophones by October, with pricing and ordering information available in the next few weeks. For more information on any of the new The Z™ models or the Call-by-Name service, visit CSDVRS.
About CSDVRS
CSDVRS, a video relay services provider, launched its inaugural service to the nation in 2000. By 2001, CSDVRS became the nation's only 24/7 provider, and also was the first to offer Spanish VRS, video mail and personal 800 numbers. CSDVRS was developed by and for deaf and hard of hearing individuals based on feedback from the nation's deaf and hard of hearing community. While other providers have followed our lead, CSDVRS is dedicated to that same spirit of innovation and commitment to excellence that took VRS from a dream to reality, by becoming the nation's premier VRS provider.
