What the gateway is doing here is mixing H.323 video and H.239 content over to the Surface Hub which is H.264 SVC and RDP content. So what does this look like on the remote system? Well that is simple, just as they would expect to see it, people and content one each screen. Now lets share some content from the Surface Hub. This can be setup in a number of ways within your own organisation to make it simple to dial room systems. In my case below (as we were federated) I dialled reach the HDX that had a public IP address. ![]() So what can a gateway do for you? Well you can simply connect to a standards based room system from the Surface Hub using the standard UX. As are we so nice at Pexip, we are offering a free Surface Hub gateway. But what about the rest? Gateway Calling with Pexip Infinity Surface Hub Video Interoperability What about that huge investment in Polycom, Cisco, Tandberg, Lifesize, Sony etc etc that you made?

The third icon is for instant messaging so you can easily chat too. Once you have the first person in a call, you can then touch the conference icon (second down) and add more people. So to make a call, just touch the phone icon and start searching for the name of the person/room/device you want to call as seen highlighted in blue below.

I am now working at Pexip so there is a bigger emphasis on the video interoperability piece. In my previous viewing of the Surface Hub, I was working for an SI. This was an overview of the device and basic capabilities.įast forward a few weeks and I had the chance to properly test drive the Surface Hub and how it can work with video as I did not experience that beforehand. So I previously wrote about my first impression of the upcoming Microsoft Surface Hub. Last Updated on Apby GrahamWalsh Happy new year and welcome to 2016. ![]()
