The Polycom MGC delivers multiple types of conferencing applications concurrently, including both on-demand and reserved unified conferencing.
On-demand Conferencing
The ability for an end user to easily and spontaneously start a conference, from any endpoint at any time
Simple, intuitive access from any audio or video endpoint
Instant access from presence-based "buddy lists" on desktop collaborative applications
Reserved Conferencing
A controlled conferencing environment where typically IT staff schedule, initiate and manage the conference
May also be an unattended conference, scheduled by the end user
Guaranteed service availability - reserved conferencing always takes precedence over on-demand on the Polycom MGC |
Polycom's Industry-Leading Transcoding
Polycom's MGC universal transcoding capabilities ensures every audio and video participant - regardless of endpoint device or network connection - dynamically connects to the conference at optimal capability, significantly reducing IT administrative support. For more information, see Polycom's White Paper on Transcoding.
Continuous Presence
Polycom takes Continuous Presence video conferencing to a new level of productivity. Custom borders and background colors, speaker highlights and site names, together with low latency, create an experience where the technology does not distract from the focus of the meeting.
Polycom Click & View
Polycom's Click & View is a unique interface that gives end users more control over their video conferences. The interface appears on the end users' video endpoint to help guide them through their conference. Using the interface as a guide, end users can change conference layouts, choose personal layouts or even ask for operator assistance, all from their remote control. |
