CounterPath Solutions has introduced a version of eyebeam, its SIP-based video softphone. Supporting video and audio codecs such as H.264 and Broadcom's BV32, eyebeam 1.5 SIP-based video softphone automatically prioritizes packets during video and voice calls. It includes signaling encryption via Transport Layer Security as well as message authentication and confidentiality via Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol streams. Zero-touch configuration for audio and video devices enables automatic configuration each time eyeBeam is started and whenever devices are changed. The eyeBeam 1.5 is currently available in Windows. Mac, Linux and Pocket PC versions will be available in Q2 2006.
