Agenda Polycom HDX 9000™ Series and UltimateHD™ VSX™ Release 8.6
4
Have you been waiting for the world leader in conferencing to lead the world in HD conferencing? Then wait no more! Polycom HDX delivers extreme performance Unrivaled performance for best audio, video and content Unlimited flexibility for any application Unmatched power for continued growth Makes every current video conference better and opens the door to new applications and markets It’s not just video in high def, it’s UltimateHD This is the first time you can start the ground work describing the flexibility of the HDX and how UltimateHD is an experience.
5
UltimateHD Assumes the audience has been introduced to UltimateHD with the other presentation – so just briefly touch on the fact that each component is critical to a true HD experience. If not, then…. Another way of describing true HD without compromise – is Ultimate HD. Let’s look at the components of UltimateHD. HD Voice – Audio is considered by most users to be the most critical aspect of any video conference. If participants are seen clearly, but can’t be heard or understood, the video conference will most likely be shut down. HD voice includes all aspects of the audio experience and ensures that everyone in the room is heard clearly with minimal background noise – and that any media played is integrated seamlessly into the conference. HD Video – HD video has been defined by the ATSC as a minimum of 720p at 24fps, using the H.264 standard. But this isn’t the only video aspect that is important. Users need to be able to attach multiple HD cameras and other HD sources – and it all needs to be standards-based so that when the system is not in an HD call, it can call any other video conferencing system on the network HD Content – for some applications, content in HD is even more critical than video in HD. Examples include distance learning where the content is a space shuttle launch or tour of a museum, telemedicine where the content is a brain-scan, or x-ray, enterprise where the content is an intricate blueprint or piece of textile with specific colors and patterns. In all of these examples, the content being shared is critical and can only be shared over video conference IF it is being shared in HD. HD Infrastructure – a point-to-point HD solution will not provide an UltimateHD experience – the MCU and other components in the network also need to be able to handle HD traffic and work seamlessly with HD solutions. Recording HD calls will be very important in some applications like telemedicine, education and judicial arraignment – just to name a few. The ability to archive and show those recordings in HD is also important. And lastly – it is critical that any vendor creating and selling HD video conferencing solutions has a full suite of HD services including assistance with network planning and design, deploying and integrating HD solutions, servicing and maintaining those solutions, and training the end users on the features and benefits of those solutions.

What are the benefits of UltimateHD?
High definition is only a measure of image resolution UltimateHD is an experience! Polycom HDX improves each communication experience in every way with UltimateHD HD Voice allows you to distinctly hear every sound you need to hear and none that you don’t Eliminating conference fatigue while adding richness and clarity to each voice and audio input HD Video provides the sharpest, clearest images in vivid, natural color and full motion Never miss a single expression and savor every detail HD Content allows you to share your work in any application From PC screens to HD doc cams and DVD players your value will come through in perfect detail and full motion Really drive home the first point. Polycom is offering an experience. Only hit major bullets.
7
Why does UltimateHD matter?
Organizations are facing incremental communications challenges: Globalization, mergers/acquisitions and outsourcing/offshoring Travel restrictions/security, cultural/language differences, workforce mobility and telecommuting UltimateHD enhances every communication allowing customers to: Make informed decisions…faster Experience every critical detail…perfectly Share their complete work…demonstrate their full value Enhanced communications delivers the competitive edge Reduce product development cycle and speed time to market Increase collaborative teamwork and efficient knowledge sharing Improve relationships across the organization and extended teams Leverage resources and increase profitability Why does UHD really matter? The first couple of points are pretty obvious. The second point will be driven home with the next slides. Talk only about the final bullet, do not go into the sub-items.
8
Make informed decisions…faster
Manufacturing / Design See even the smallest details in stitching, seams and fabrics Make confident, educated real-time decisions Agree to that design change right now! This could be any facet of retail. Textiles, packaging, shoe manufacturers, ets. Traditionally, these types of industries have to send samples back and forth taking weeks to make basic decisions.
9
Experience every critical detail…perfectly
Legal Depositions and Negotiations Don’t miss a single, subtle expression or facial twitch Hear even the slightest verbal cue from client / defendant Know exactly when to press your point or push your issue Twitching eyes; quivering lips Even though video has been used for years in the legal application, HD makes it much more usable.
10
Share your work; Demonstrate your value
Consulting, R&D Drawings, videos and presentations in precise High Definition Use an HD doc cam and DVD or share PC blueprints/drawings Differentiate yourself and land the big contract Weeks or even months of work into creating a presentation, don’t you want to show the work in its full-glory?
11
The UltimateHD Advantage in Vertical Markets
Let’s talk about the advantages in vertical markets….
12
The Promise of Telemedicine Fulfilled
Extraordinary video quality leads to extraordinary patient care Communicate with field experts quickly and easily for second opinions See every detail of an x-ray, MRI, or lesion and make patient decisions in real-time using HD doc cameras or high resolution PC images Educate the next generation of health care providers by sharing cutting-edge surgical techniques over distance Viewing every detail of live surgery allows remote field experts to participate and students to learn without having to be in the room Attach multiple HD devices for assistance during a procedure Hightight the main points and move on. Another area is Tele-psychology, extremely important for patients and doctors to have a natural in-person relationship in this field.
13
Enhancing the Quality of Education
Hear every detail when teaching music over distance Allows specialty schools and universities to reach out to more students and train them in musical disciplines HD Voice makes the technology transparent so that the teacher can focus on the student and vice-versa Experience cultures and remote locations in high definition without leaving the classroom Ancient artifacts or art in museums Undersea explorations Space shuttle launches Classrooms across the world Exceptional video is a requirement for the hearing-impaired community See every hand motion and every expression Read lips over video Bring new opportunities and experiences to students who would never be able to have them.
14
Enabling Real-Time Decisions in Government
Communicate with other governments with confidence and make decisions in real-time HD voice allows each voice to be heard and understood, even in multi-lingual conversations Clearly see facial expressions, hand movements, body language to help forward negotiations Save time and resources, while increasing safety Arraign prisoners remotely and ensure that every nuance is heard, seen and recorded Share evidence and exhibits in high definition First responders can communicate clearly and make life and death decisions in times of crisis HD voice and HD video makes the technology transparent, allowing critical scenes to be viewed and decisions to be made

22
HD Infrastructure High definition conferencing requires more than just an HD endpoint – infrastructure is critical to an UltimateHD experience MCU and other critical components in the network also need to be able to handle HD traffic and work seamlessly with HD solutions Recording HD calls will be very important to some applications Streaming capabilities enables a broader reach within an organization, enhancing the overall experience Polycom HD infrastructure products include: Polycom MGC Polycom RSS 2000 Polycom GMS HD Infrastructure – a point-to-point HD solution will not provide an UltimateHD experience to the complete organization – the MCU and other critical components in the network also need to be able to handle HD traffic and work seamlessly with HD solutions. Recording HD calls will be very important in some applications like telemedicine, education and judicial arraignment – just to name a few. The ability to archive and show those recordings in HD is also important. HD streaming enables the organization to leverage the power of HD across a much larger population, enhancing the overall experience and increasing ROI.

Maximum Integration/Application Flexibility
VGA and DVI are available simultaneously Video Inputs 1-3: There is a footnote at the bottom that says that Input 3 can be controlled via the serial port. It should probably also be noted that inputs 1 and 2 have dedicated serial control ports built-in to the HDCI port, so in practice inputs 1-3 support cameras with controllable PTZ. Video Input 3: Note that the current back panel lists this as “VCR/DVD” Inputs 2,3,4,5 requires external camera power Inputs 3,4,5 uses the serial port for camera control

Competitive Edge
33
Polycom: HD Without Compromise
Fade and add another line at the bottom: End-to-end HD solution – Polycom is the only one checked. * No HD systems available at this time.
34
Landscape for HD Delivery
While Tandberg claims to deliver 720p – the truth is that they are delivering 1280 x 720 at less than 15fps, which is not 720p. 720p is specifically defined as 1280 x 720 at 24-60fps – and this is considered HD video quality. Lifesize can deliver 720p, but does not have a complete HD solution. Only Polycom will deliver UltimateHD now at 720p, 30fps and in the future at higher frame rates and higher resolution.
35
Every Application is Better with HDX
Superior visual images with EagleEye camera and HDX video processing Camera outperforms LifeSize camera in every test (zoom, presets, multiple HD inputs, standard connectors); Tandberg camera still unavailable for test Codec has more pure power than Tandberg or LifeSize Video capabilities far exceed anything in the market Superior sound with the clearest, cleanest audio Only Polycom has StereoSurround – and customers notice the difference! Siren22 takes audio to the next level – outperforms any competitor in the market in side-by-side evaluation Only HDX offers full frame rate HD Content! Invite customers to experience UltimateHD - You will NOT lose!
