Poly

Polycom

Poly are one of the biggest names in video conferencing with a long track record of excellent hardware used by some the largest corporations globally. The latest generations of Poly equipment span all sizes of rooms from simple huddle spaces to high spec Boardrooms and auditoriums. Poly systems can be considered expensive when compared to some of today’s plug and play USB video conferencing systems, but we know from experience that Poly systems are reliable and just work when you need them to.

Forward Vision Solutions have proven experience installing the majority of Poly hardware starting from their Trio systems, designed for smaller rooms, right up to the RealPresence Group 700 system with multiple cameras in a corporate broadcasting facility... and everything in between.

Polycom Video Conferencing Studio Remote kit

Poly Studio

The Poly Studio was just launched in February 2019 and is designed to compete with the very popular Logitech Meetup. Being a Poly product, the video and audio quality is excellent, as you might expect from the brand. The microphone pickup on this device has a range of roughly 4.5m and it provides active speaker tracking which automatically zooms in on the person speaking, allowing the far end to really see facial expressions and providing an enhanced experience. This device is connected to a laptop via plug & play USB 2.0 and is compatible with a wide range video conferencing applications like Skype for Business, Teams, Zoom, Webex and Google Hangouts.

Polycom Video Conferencing Real presence Trio kit

Poly Trio

The Poly Trio system is designed for smaller rooms up to around 8 people and comes in various forms. The Trio system is based on the “starphone” with built in touch panel and can either be used on its own as a standard SIP/VoIP phone, or in conjunction with Skype for Business with the optional Visual+ accessories allowing it to also do video. This is a good solution for smaller rooms, but as it does not support HDMI content sharing or any integration with control systems, it may not be the right choice for larger meeting rooms.

Poly RealPresence Group Series

The Poly RealPresence Group series essentially comes in 3 versions, the RealPresence Group 310, 500 & 700. Simply put, the 310 model is best placed in smaller rooms where only one meeting room display is required, the 500 model for larger rooms where two displays are requires and the 700 model for large spaces like auditoriums requiring two or more cameras. Each system comes with a pan/tilt/zoom camera and a table top microphone but there are various options to use 3^rd party microphones and speakers which is something we have considerable expertise in.

Poly offer a table top touch panel as an accessory to any RealPresence Group system which provides an enhanced user experience over the standard hand held remote and also provides interoperability with Skype for Business.
