A CODEC  on a VUGATE SuperHub is an ISDN or IP gateway used for making wide area calls where the audio/video transmitted is digitized and compressed.  The MINX Network CODECs follow the ITU H.320 and H.323 standards for videoconferencing and provides a gateway to the Wide Area (long distance) for the local connections in offices and conference rooms connected to the MINX Local Video Network. The MINX Network CODEC is connected to a SuperHub as a shared resource that allows anyone on the local video network to dial through the CODEC from their desktop.

The MINX 2315 Network CODEC is a dual protocol codec and supports both the H.320 and H.323 standard protocols. In the H.320 standard protocol, it will connect directly to the public switched telecommunications network and will support line speeds from 56KB to 384KB. In the H.323 mode of operation, the MINX 2315 CODEC is meant to connect to a LAN/WAN network via TCP/IP protocol. In the H.323 mode of operation, the MINX 2315 CODEC will support network speeds up to 1.5MB. In either mode of operation, the MINX 2315 CODEC will connect to the telecommunication network via a standard V.35 telecommunications connection, or directly to ISDN BRI lines.
