Headquarters: Ottawa, ON, Canada
Founded: 2007
Public/Private: Private
Company Details
Industry Categories: Telepresence Hardware Manufacturer
Company Executives:
OEMs:
Mitel OEMs the Magor TeleCollaboration HDWorkPlace family.
Resellers:
Magor's go to market strategy includes working with AV Resellers and IP Systems Integrators. Select resellers include Scalar Decisions (Canada), DRV Group (UK) and Saudi Delta Company (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).
Company Mission:
With a goal of improving the way we work without changing how we work and of extending the power of HD video conferencing and collaboration beyond the board room and executive suite, Magor developed its HDWorkPlace family of TeleCollaboration systems.
Technology:
Designed to dramatically improve the effectiveness of video-based meetings, Magor's HDWorkPlace TeleCollaboration systems seamlessly integrate advanced collaboration capabilities into a 1080p video conferencing experience that can be securely delivered over best effort IP network connections like the Internet, without overburdening the network or increasing IT costs.
Advanced Collaboration:
Recognizing that some of the most important assets an enterprise has are the files, applications and toolkits that reside on each individual's desktop, Magor uniquely and elegantly brings these assets into each TeleCollaboration session. Unlike legacy video conferencing systems that treat collaboration as an add on, Magor TeleCollaboration systems supply the entire collaborative experience - delivering immersive voice, high definition video and comprehensive desktop sharing in a single, easy to use system.
Magor's HDWorkPlace family enhances decision making and improves productivity by seamlessly integrating advanced data collaboration capabilities into a high definition video conferencing experience. With instant drag-and-drop sharing of computer desktops (any mix of PC, Mac, Linux, UNIX or Solaris systems) through an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), Magor's advanced collaboration capabilities allow permitted participants to see, control and edit shared files and documents in real time. So, instead of "talk now, do later", users conduct working visual collaboration sessions that allow them to make decisions, get work done and produce results more quickly.
Peer-to-Peer Communications Architecture:
Instead of an MCU-centric design, where all endpoint media streams are mixed and rebroadcast and each participant's visual experience is dictated by the MCU, Magor's peer-to-peer communication architecture allows each Magor endpoint to operate independently of the others. This means that users can tailor their visual experience to their own needs - choosing exactly what they see and how they see, moving and resizing their own video and collaboration windows in real time and panning and zooming images to suit their own needs and preferences. Also, new participants to a Magor TeleCollaboration session can be added spontaneously and participants can drop out, with no effect on the experience of the other participants. The peer-to-peer approach also delivers the low latency required by HD video communications sessions.
Advanced Scalable Video (SVC++):
Recognizing that legacy video conferencing and telepresence systems don't adequately address the impact that high definition video can have on networks, Magor applied its IP networking heritage and video encoding expertise to break existing video conferencing paradigms. The result is a truly immersive high definition visual collaboration system that acts like a good network citizen and doesn't require complex, dedicated engineered networks.
Magor introduces flexible video compression processes that can adapt in real-time to varying network conditions and end-user behavior. By extending basic scalability principles with innovative video segmentation and network adaptation processes that optimize the key areas of the picture and the required network resources, Magor TeleCollaboration protects the network from the potential negative impacts of video and overcomes the challenges of delivering 1080p video of best effort network connections such as the Internet.
SVC++ sends independent video streams to each of the participating endpoints since quality of experience can be best-managed at and by the endpoint. The segmentation process partitions the video stream and applies a codec to each segment ensuring that motion and detail are properly balanced. The adaptation process dynamically adjusts the scalability parameters to optimize the experience for a given network transmission capability at a moment in time.
Magor's approach to traffic conditioning, including the use of hierarchical weighted scheduling and aggregate traffic shaping at each endpoint assures a smoother bandwidth consumption profile, making Magor telepresence on IP networks a more predictable application.
Interoperability:
Magor has validated interoperability with legacy video conferencing and telepresence systems from all the major players in the market.
Products:
The Magor HDWorkPlace family includes the following:

- HDSolo: HDSolo is the most advanced single screen, single camera high definition 1080p video conferencing and collaboration system on the market today. It can be used in any workplace environment and is ideal for people who need to frequently communicate and collaborate with remote teams and off-site parties using up to six video and collaboration windows. With HDSolo, you can spontaneously communicate face-to-face and share content in 1080p resolution video with local and remote colleagues, customers, partners and suppliers as if you were in the same room. You can use the HDSolo 1080p resolution video screen to display your computer desktop at any time, taking advantage of the large, HD screen for your everyday work activities.
- HDDuo: HDDuo is a two-screen, one- or two- camera Magor TeleCollaboration system that can be used in any workplace environment and is ideal for busy professionals and small teams who need the flexibility of two screens to work in up to 12 video and collaboration windows.
- HDTrio: HDTrio is a three- screen, two- or three-camera system that can be used in any workplace environment and is ideal for geographically dispersed teams and teams that need to collaborate with off-site parties using up to 18 video and collaboration windows.
