As Polycom continues with its efforts toward improving teleconferencing productivity and efficiencies, it was clear that along with its progress in the audio spectrum of teleconferencing, an improvement in the video aspect of the technology was logical as well. This lead to Polycom’s development of High Definition Video (or HD Video), for video conferencing.

For this edition of Polycom On Demand, we speak with Laura Shay, Polycom’s director of product marketing for their Video Solutions Group, who gives us an in-depth look at HD Video, and its influence on what can now be done via video conferencing.
