Polycom On Demand

While it is true that large organizations continue to embrace the value behind video conferencing, there remains a certain level of frustration when it comes to dealing with the intricacies associated with these often-complex environments. In other words, while folks understand the benefit, it needs to be easier for them to experience it as well.

To discuss what to look for when it comes to a successful large-scale video conferencing environment, today’s Polycom on Demand features our conversation with Polycom Video Solutions Group Vice President of Product Marketing John Antanaitis and Senior Product Marketing Manager Marty Sexton.

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.
