Abstract: A solution is disclosed for providing automatic multicast address assignment and conflict resolution for AV streams multicast over a networked AV system. The solution includes a device for monitoring the system for messages associated with AV streams multicast over the system and implementing a conflict resolution protocol when a conflict of multicast addresses is detected, where the conflict resolution protocol utilizes automatically randomly selecting a preliminary multicast address from a defined range of addresses.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the meeting device, comprising, a housing, a processor disposed in the housing, at least one presence detector disposed in the housing and coupled to an environment processor to detect presence within a predetermined distance of the meeting device, provides to the environment processor at least one presence detection signal based on the detected presence, wherein the processor turns on at least one meeting device component when the at least one presence detection signal is detected and at least one wireless transceiver coupled to the environment processor to provide at least one wireless signal.

Abstract: A user device may access a remote conference management application and setup a conference customized for the user. For example, one method of operation may include transmitting a notification to a user device of an upcoming scheduled meeting time and receiving a confirmation that the scheduled meeting is a valid meeting time. The method may also include receiving at least one instruction from the user device regarding the meeting time, loading a data file sequence stored in a user account, and transmitting the data file sequence to a presentation management device.

Abstract: A user device may access a remote conference management application and setup a conference customized for the user. For example, a number of presentation data files may be received from a user device and a user account may be authenticated which is associated with the user device. The presentation data files may be stored as a unique presentation and a scheduled presentation time may also be setup and stored for execution at a later time, and a notification may be transmitted to the user device to confirm that presentation time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling temperature in an optical amplification system are provided. An optical amplification system comprises a pump laser, a multiplexer, an optical fiber, a temperature control device, and processing circuitry. The pump laser generates an optical pump signal. The multiplexer multiplexes the optical pump signal and an input optical signal to generate a multiplexed optical signal. The optical fiber receives the multiplexed optical signal. The temperature control device controls temperature within the optical amplification system based on a control signal. The processing circuitry determines whether to adjust the temperature of the optical amplification system and generates the control signal based on this determination.
