New Polycom CX8000 Room System for Microsoft Lync
The Polycom CX8000 room system for Microsoft Lync includes several features that help users take advantage of Microsoft Lync 2013 such as built-in multiparty video and a better overall audio and video experience that leverages the open standards-based scalable video coding (SVC) implementation. The addition of lifecycle services helps drive adoption for video and voice collaboration in Microsoft Lync environments, ultimately increasing usage and driving a greater return on investment.
The Polycom CX8000 builds on the Polycom CX5000 Unified Conference Station, a 360-degree, panoramic 720p HD video collaboration system that is natively integrated with Microsoft Lync.
Bringing the 360-degree camera technology to Polycom CX8000, Polycom plans to offer the Polycom CX5100 Unified Conference Station, upon completion of qualification, as an optional feature for the Polycom CX8000. Polycom CX5100 can be used in conjunction with Polycom CX8000, as well as with computers through a USB connection.
