The Unified Communications market continues to grow and companies are looking for more ways to capitalize on the benefits of call control, presence, voice and video solutions. GIPS VoiceEngine and VideoEngine SDKs simplify the development of full-featured Unified Communications services with real-time voice and video capabilities by providing all the components and multimedia processing technology needed by application developers.

"The products are functionally rich and truly demonstrate the investment GIPS has made in the voice and video processing technologies. We are very excited to be able to provide our customers the ability to easily build their own high quality multimedia applications."

Designed with ease of use in mind, the SDK API's can handle difficult media processing and call control functions, making it an essential tool for both the experienced and inexperienced VoIP or video over IP application developer.
