A Russian-based company named Innovative Systems of Communication (ISC, Inc.) who launched flashphone.ru has launched Zingaya Media Server (ZMS) which allows Flash-to-SIP and SIP-to-Flash video calls.

The new media server allows us to use a simple browser to initiate a video call to a video client like X-Lite. The latest version of Zingaya Media Server supports video calls to SIP softphones or hardphones with H.263 video codec support.
Highlighted Features include:

• ZMS works via HTTP through port 80 so it has no problems with NAT and firewalls
• SIP 2.0 compatibility allows to use ZMS for interference with contemporary IP-telephony systems: softphones, IP PBX (Asterisk for example), call-centers, SIP Proxy Servers. It gives an opportunity (for VoIP operators) to create convenient services which allow users to make calls directly from web page without downloading any specific software
• ZMS works with VoIP codecs G.711 and G.729
• Integration with existent infrastructure at database level allows companies to implement ZMS-based solutions quickly and easily
• Horizontal scalability, large-user-number systems building opportunity
• Windows and Linux compatibility
• Convenient API for client applications development in FlexBuilder 2/3, Flash CS3
• ZMS allows to make own non-VoIP apps for Java-based server
• Client apps are cross-platform due to Adobe Flash technology which is accessible at Windows, MacOS, Linux and works with most of contemporary browsers
