POLYCOM'S HD PORTFOLIO EXPANDS FURTHER WITH HDX8000
Polycom has announced new solutions and technologies to mainstream high definition (HD) video conferencing across
organizations and applications. The new Polycom HDX (tm) 8000 series delivers UltimateHD (tm) to small and medium-sized
conference rooms with unrivalled quality and performance.
With the addition of the HDX 8000, the HDX Series has been expanded to include the recently-announced HDX 4000 integrated
desktop system for executives, physicians and small groups; and the HDX 9000 series for large meeting rooms, classrooms
and integrated custom-room environments.
In a just-released review of leading HD video conferencing endpoints by Wainhouse Research, Polycom HDX received top scores
over competitive systems. Its extensive, hands-on competitive analysis shows that the Polycom HDX Series received top scores
in 8 out of 10 evaluation categories. Besides great video quality, the HDX series provides outstanding, leading-edge audio
performance and unparalleled multimedia capabilities.
Polycom has also unveiled new patent-pending Lost Packet Recovery technology that provides breakthrough QoS for IP networks
and makes videoconferencing more viable for home office workers, remote offices and field applications.
Polycom HDX Version 2.0 software delivers Polycom’s patent-pending Lost Packet Recovery technology to all HDX systems,
providing an outstanding video conferencing experience on networks with even moderate levels of packet loss. Lost Packet
Recovery can improve the pervasiveness of video conferencing in an organization by enabling consistent quality for home
office workers, field deployments, calls on “dirty networks” subject to frequent packet loss, and even calls over the
public internet.
Polycom HDX Version 2.0 also enables HDX 9002 and 9004 systems with embedded multipoint capability to deliver HD continuous
presence multipoint for up to four sites or non-HD continuous presence for up to eight sites.
Joe Sigrist, senior vice president and general manager of video solutions at Polycom said: “With the addition of the HDX
8000 series, Polycom expands the benefits of high definition into classrooms, meeting rooms and beyond. And with
breakthrough advances like our Lost Packet Recovery technology, Polycom simultaneously improves the user’s experience and
enables high quality video conferencing to be reliably deployed and used over a broader range of IP network environments.”
Polycom continues to expand its integration efforts with its strategic global partners including Avaya, IBM, Microsoft and
Nortel to make HD video collaboration a seamless part of these core unified communications environments. Today, HDX Version
2.0 enables integration with the Avaya Video Telephony Solution and Microsoft LCS 2005.
The standards-based Polycom HDX line is part of the industry’s only integrated and complete HD video collaboration portfolio.
To assist customers deploying HD video conferencing, Polycom Global Services offers a comprehensive suite of HD Readiness
services through channel partners — from planning and design to evaluating and optimizing HD video performance on existing
networks to standard maintenance, training and service options.
