Introduction

 

Synergy SKY’s Open Video Interop (OVI) is the open standard that seamlessly connects modern web-based video apps with SIP conferencing systems worldwide.

Open Video Interop (OVI) is more than a gateway — it’s your bridge to true video collaboration without limits.

Instead of being just another SIP ↔ WebRTC connector, OVI is built as a powerful developer integration point that transforms the way video platforms connect.

Who Benefits from OVI?

 
 
Icon Video Experience

Video Experience Platforms

 

Can extend live and on-demand streams directly into enterprise meeting rooms. Instead of individuals watching from laptops, teams can now watch together from SIP-equipped rooms — transforming video into a shared, engaging experience.

 
 
 
Icon Collaboration Platforms

UCaaS / Collaboration Platforms

 

Can deliver powerful collaboration in the cloud — but often lack native SIP room connectivity. OVI makes it possible for these platforms to instantly connect with enterprise-grade video endpoints, giving them reach into boardrooms, classrooms, and secure industries where SIP is the norm.

 
 
 
Icon Enterprise

Enterprises

 

For organizations, OVI means future-proofing existing investments. Every Cisco, Poly, Lifesize, Yealink, or Zoom Room system becomes compatible with emerging video platforms, without costly replacements or complex upgrades.

The Interfaces

 

OVI CONNECT API

Our REST API is the starting point of the OVI solution and is where you provision the URL to the collaboration session you want to enable for SIP video. Typically this is executed from your backend.

A simple REST API will allow you to publish your URL and in return you will be given a SIP-URI which can be dialed directly from any SIP enabled video conferencing devices that are allowed to dial out on the internet.

 

OVI JavaScript Framework

The  OVI JavaScript Framework is an API that enables your WebRTC-enabled web app to integrate with Synergy SKY CONNECT. When a user dials your SIP-URI from the OVI CONNECT API, Synergy SKY CONNECT automatically launches a browser session to your web app, providing access to the framework for seamless call handling.
