# SunForum 3D Feature List

SunForum 3D and several other products built for different operating system environments, all use similar core technology for application sharing. Some features of this technology are available in all of these products; others are specific to a particular product or to a subset of products.

Here we provide information about the products. If you cannot find a function that you expect to be able to use, or are having problems communicating between two different conferencing products, check the to ensure that the feature you want is supported in both relevant products.

This information is provided for SunForum 3D.

### Base Feature Set

All compatible products will include at least some of the following features:

| Command Center (in some products, this is called Conference Manager)
| T.128 application sharing (with 8 bit per pixel or 24 bit pixel support)
| T.127 file transfer
| Proprietary or T.126 mode whiteboard (including true color support)
| Chat
| Shared Clipboard
| LDAP directory service
| H.323 Audio with G.711 and option G.723.1 or G.729a
| Optional H.323 video with H.261 or H.263
| Multipoint audio or multipoint audio/video

In addition to the basic SunForum features already present, SunForum 3D has accelerated application sharing of 3D graphics application based on OpenGL. SunForum 3D is a superset of SunForum, that is, all features of SunForum will continue to work in SunForum 3D.

### Compatibility with other products

Even though SunForum undergoes a wide range of testing, it is impossible to comprehensively test every piece of equipment in the colaboration, videoconferencing, and telephony space.

First, an inquiry about feature compatibility should be conducted. Next, you are encouraged to consult Sun's I/O Technologies and Solutions webpage. This will show a representative list of H.323 and T.126 products. It includes endpoints (conferencing and collaboration), managment software (MCU and gatekeepers), and gateways (VoIP gateways and routers). They have all been verified to run with SunForum and may even include hints for best compatibility and performance.
