Polycom has announced the availability of the Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio at Gitex Technology Week 2014. RealPresence Immersive Studio is the next-generation of immersive collaboration environments and makes an ideal solution for meetings that matter the most, including creative brainstorms or crisis management sessions.
The flexible configuration lets users see content on any of the large displays in the studio, and support for BYOD allows users to share content from mobile devices like tablets and laptops. The solution also features the added capability of Polycom VisualBoard, the virtual whiteboard that permits users to engage in interactive note taking on critical content such as business documents, CAD drawings, blueprints or maps.
“Important business meetings need to be as life-like and interactive as possible. With Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio, we deliver next-generation collaboration experiences, making video accessible through all environments and adding vital collaboration tools to deliver a lifelike user experience,” said Ramy Alam, Regional Sales Director, Gulf, Polycom.“Much more than mere telepresence, this immersive meeting room gives an environment that eliminates the barriers of distance with a no-compromise experience. Participants can be seen and heard from any corner of the room, and the system allows you to move around eliminating the need to be pinned down to your chairs as in the traditional video conferencing systems,” he added.
The complete collaborative environment of RealPresence Immersive Studio is delivered through unique video, audio and content collaboration experiences:
Fully Immersive Video
- RealPresence Immersive Studio delivers a fully immersive experience, enabling users to stand, walk and still be seen. Traditional “telepresence” systems force you to stay seated, as you cannot be fully seen if you rise from your chair
- A great video experience for everyone in the room, no matter where you are seated, for up to 21 participants
- Innovative center-mounted camera cluster design delivers the industry’s best eye contact
- A life-size 18-foot video wall with three 84-inch displays of 1080p60 4k Ultra HD quality
Immersive Audio Collaboration
- Breakthrough Polycom 3D Voice technology delivers unrivalled pinpoint audio accuracy and clarity
- Acoustically-treated room elements create an audio environment that remains comfortable for participants even after many hours of meetings
Content Collaboration
- Show content on any or all displays – from a dedicated 55” content monitor to any of the 84” UltraHD displays, for a close-up video of even the most detailed spreadsheets and diagrams
- 1080p60 content sharing, for real-time sharing of videos, CAD animations, or any other type of dynamic content
- Annotate and mark up content using Polycom VisualBoard; virtual whiteboard
- Use Polycom SmartPairing to easily share and annotate content from your own mobile device, supporting BYOD initiatives
- Seamless sharing and viewing content on multiple devices throughout the room. RealPresence Immersive Studio seems natively with Microsoft Lync, allowing Lync-enabled desktop or room clients to join video calls and share content through RealPresence Content Sharing Suite
RealPresence Immersive Studio also offers users with the lowest total cost of ownership. Customers can manage the system as easily as any other video device by using the Polycom RealPresence Platform, which provides enterprise infrastructure for deploying and managing video and voice assets across any organisation. RealPresence Immersive Studio is supported by a global services team that offer a range of maintenance and support packages to ensure that the integrated video environment is always available and optimised for business needs.
The Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio can be seen at the Polycom booth at Gitex and is now available in the UAE.
