Setting a new standard for group videoconferencing systems, Polycom's ViewStation delivers high-end group system quality and performance in an easy-to-use, convenient footprint – for a fraction of the price of other high-end group systems. ViewStation is one of the first systems to implement the H.263 video standard for enhanced video quality. It also supports up to 30 frames per second for full motion video. Additionally, ViewStation delivers Polycom market-leading audio technology, with an extendible microphone, for maximum sound clarity in small to large conference rooms.

With its precendent-setting design, ViewStation is the first videoconferencing system to include an embedded Web server and Web-based integrated presentation system. This unique architecture allows system management, diagnostics and software upgrades to be accessed anytime, anywhere. For quick and easy presentations, Microsoft PowerPoint slides can be sent via the Web, from a locally attached, or remote PC, for display during a videoconference. Fully interoperable with existing videoconferencing systems, ViewStation integrates quickly and seamlessly into your current infrastructure. And with its small footprint, about the size of this sheet of paper, ViewStation sits conveniently on top of any size S-video or composite monitor.

ViewStation is transforming group videoconferencing from a luxury item into an affordable and essential tool ideally suited for today's global marketplace – and the way you work.
