Polycom officials said the company would extend 1080p and broadcast-quality 720p at 60 frames per second across its telepresence product line, including immersive and room telepresence solutions and multipoint infrastructure, for end-to-end support and enhanced quality. As part of the Polycom UltimateHD experience, the solutions will also include HD voice quality in stereo using Siren22 StereoSurround, the ability to simultaneously share multimedia content in HD, and Polycom’s Lost Packet Recovery QoS technology.
Support for 1080p and 720p 60fps will be available on new Polycom RealPresence Experience (RPX) and Polycom Telepresence Experience (TPX) immersive telepresence solutions, the RMX 2000 real-time media conferencing platform, and a new Polycom HDX 8006 room telepresence solution for medium and large conference rooms. The company will also offer programs for qualified RMX 2000 and HDX customers wanting to upgrade their systems to support 1080p and 720p 60fps.

The Polycom RPX series are complete room-within-a-room packages, designed to deliver an effective “same room” telepresence experience.
