Polycom Unveils HDX 4000 HD Video Conferencing System

The HDX 4000 HD is the first complete executive desktop video system with HD voice video and content sharing.

Quote:

Designed to play nice with most standards-based, IP video conferencing systems, this unit sports a 20-inch widescreen display, built-in HD camera with pan-tilt-zoom capability, dual HDX microphones, speakers and subwoofer, an HDX video conferencing codec, and a stand with an integrated keypad that allows users to dial or answer video calls just like a telephone.

Depending on your bandwidth the system allows you to watch and send 720p content at 30fps. The HDX 4000 HD has a retail price of 7.999$. Not even 8.000$...

and like every other video conferencing system there is getting it to work properly will be an uphill struggle

And that costs can get me two Ultras.....

Agility i doubt that corporate heads care about 8800 Ultras :)

the cost can get you about 8 ultras...

I mean do you need HD video to teleconference?

If your Bill Gates or Donald Trump yes ! or just a rich tech junkie who wants to see his family as close to real life as possible :) I like this but will not buy one:rolleyes:
