The high definition Lifesize Room 220 conferencing system is designed to be installed either in a medium to large conference room or as part of a teaching space installation. It is available in two hardware configurations: the standard room 220 or with a rack mount version, the 220i, to facilitate integration into larger installations.

The system includes a high definition (HD) Camera, microphone/s and infrared remote control. An eight site on-board Multipoint Conference Unit (MCU) is included as standard. 

The system is available with 2 microphone options:

  • CODEC, Dual MicPods
  • CODEC, LifeSize Phone™

The systems supplied for evaluation included the LifeSize Phone™ desk microphone/conference phone.

The system is capable of conferencing up to a maximum picture resolution of 1920x1080 pixels (1080p) at 30fps or 1280x720 pixels (720p) at 60fps with a maximum connection speed of 8 Mbit/s. Compatibility with other H.323 CODECS is achieved across a range of resolutions from CIF (352x288) to 1920x1080 pixels, the quality of the conference being dependent upon the capability of the remote CODEC and the connection speed.

The default setting of 720p @ 60 frames per second was used for the majority of the evaluation.

Pros:

  • Dual monitor as standard
  • On-board 8 site MCU as standard
  • Camera 10x sensitivity improved over earlier LifeSize models
  • Good compatibility with other CODECS
  • Room 220i Rackmount Option

Cons:

  • Slight cooling fan noise
  • Restricted frame rate on DVI-I Presentation input
