Microphone Array PerformanceLeveraging SoundStation™ Technology
Everyone knows the Polycom SoundStation and expects the world’s best performance:• Broadest Room Coverage
• Purest Signal
• Less Noise From Around the Room
Polycom microphone arrays deliver this same world leading performance
NEW Ceiling Arrays Provide the Same Benefits!• Ideal for classrooms, auditoriums and large rooms
Only from Polycom!
Polycom StereoSurround™The Innovation Continues
Super wideband 14kHz audio with true stereo separation – for conversations and rich
media sharing (DVD, VCR, …)
Enables natural left/right audio recognition – Just like being in same room!
Adds clarity – hear and process all far side speakers distinctly, even during multiple
simultaneous conversations
Only from Polycom!
Audio ReproductionThe Final Step to Superior Audio
Low quality TV speakers don’t do justice to the high
performance delivered by Polycom microphone
arrays and StereoSurround processing
High fidelity VSX midrange speaker and
subwoofer • Enjoy the full range of super wideband 14kHz audio• Eases listening and improves understanding
Dedicated Stereo Input/Output for easy stereo setup
Extended stereo speaker kits – ideal for larger rooms and
groups that are planning rich media sharing
Only from Polycom!
Video AlgorithmsLeading the Industry Forward
Advanced H.264 video algorithm provides a doubling of video quality over
H.263 predecessor – ideal for lower bandwidth calls
Crisp, clear images with natural motion create lifelike feel and enhance
visual interaction
Checking the H.264 box is not enough• Polycom was first to bring the benefits of H.264 video to end users• Polycom is the only Video Conferencing manufacturer recognized for
contributing intellectual property to the H.264 standard• H.264 must be ‘tuned’ to look better than H.263
Robust Error Concealment over IP and ISDN• Minimize video distortion from IP packet loss and ISDN line hits• No more choppy, unnatural motion or ‘melting’ video images
First to market with 60 fields, ProMotion video for TV-like quality
Video ReproductionThe Innovation Continues
Dual Monitor Emulation (DME)• Display multiple views (people and/or
content) on single monitor• Never miss far side faces, even when
sharing content on single monitor• Ideal for tight budgets and small spaces• Maximize usage of single, large flat
panel and 16:9 displays• Nine total viewing options allowing for
end user preference
DME: Often imitated, never duplicated• Limited views and availability
Content Leadership Past, Present, FutureT.120• Polycom Intellectual Property• Share documents, files, whiteboards, …• Used globally – across many industries and manufacturers
Dual Streams (People+Content in single call)• Polycom Intellectual Property • See far side speakers while simultaneously viewing their content • Licensed to other Video Conferencing manufacturers
H.239 ITU Standard• Built on Polycom Intellectual Property• Polycom recognized for contributing Patented technology• Polycom selected to be Standard Editor
Content CaptureTrue Value-Add Options
Visual Concert • Embedded processors provide coding power,
eliminate burden on codec
• Direct audio capture for sharing rich media
from PC (wav files…)
• Captures up to SXGA with XGA throughput
(1024x768), including motion and builds
• In room benefits including Ethernet hub and
VGA output for high-res projectorImage Share
• Embedded processor for coding
• Direct audio capture for sharing rich
media from PC (wav files…)
Only from Polycom!
People+Content™ IPThe Innovation Continues
No Need for Cables• Reduces the hassle factor• Reduces tabletop clutter
Hardware assist from PC • Maximizes codec A/V quality
Fast transition for presenters• No need to find/swap cables
Voice-only participants can
finally share content!

The VTX knows when it is connected to a VSX system and ‘video enabled’
If a phone call is initiated, the VTX will intelligently prompt end users to see if they desire video
If the users agree, the two VTX systems will automatically launch the video call via back channel communication• No need to pick up the video remote• No need to launch a video call• No need to even know the video number – IP, ISDN or otherwise!
Easy as dialing a phone; far greater communication!

System often crashes on incoming Sony call
Two Large Power Supplies• Different pwr bricks, same connector, but not interchangeable• Discuss wiring and klunk factor – these are EXEC solutions…
Remote control discrepancies (PIP, Mute)
Reinforce poor mic location – noise, muffling
Screeching boot-up noise – proof point of poor

Superior ‘Widescreen’ Support
TAA ‘auto zoom’ actually reduces resolution by 25%• SIF coded video drops from 288 to 216 lines of resolution
TAA still capturing / sending 4:3 – cropping to 16:9 at display
Full 4:3 images not shown to 16:9 site and vice versa– Heads got cut off or too much area is shown– Can’t be certain if near and far side are seeing the desired image
PIP in wrong location – near center of screen, blocks far side faces

FUD
TAA MP Call with CP and Dual Monitors
TAA • Monitor 1 shows CP as expected• Monitor 2 only shows near side full screen
– Who needs to see themselves, Full Screen in MP call?
– Seeing the far side is more important
PLCM shows active speaking party in full screen for
real value– Seeing detailed expressions of speaking party enhances
understanding in MP calls

Sony TL50The Best Executive Desktop
Hands down, Sony is the Industrial Design favorite• Clean integration, sophisticated look
Constant, excessive fan noise becomes unbearable• My favorite thing to do with this system is TURN IT OFF!• Integration to Hot monitor precipitated need for fan – no fans in
