B2|DSF Service
B2|DSF Service is a powerful, efficient and interactive tool that allows IP-based application sharing within collaborative sessions.
The application is a client to the B2|Collaboration and Integration Server, and also supports sharing of information and knowledge over the network, such that complex work processes can be done in a cross disciplinary team.
The application takes advantage of the extensive logging and documentation features of the B2 framework, and is compatible with B2|Virtual View and B2|Virtual Arena.
FUNCTIONALITY
B2|DSF Service supports one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many collaborative scenarios, and has built in features that allow users to apply different and asymmetric mitigation strategies in collaborative scenarios with limited bandwidth.
B2|DSF Service allows desktop sharing from an unmanned workstation to any B2|Virtual View or B2|Virtual Arena client, without the use of traditional hardware-based screen controllers or complex cabling/switching systems.
B2|DSF Service represents a software- and IP-based alternative to RGB-cables and proprietary black-boxes, with substantial higher degree of flexibility, removing the geographic borders between users that needs to collaborate in real-time by using the IP-network. Since it is utilizing B2|Collaboration and Integration Server, collaboration can take place within projects and sessions, providing the required structure and envelope.
