Polycom unveils Whiteboard Solution

Polycom has unveiled a whiteboard solution, the Polycom UC Board, which improves communication and collaboration in video conferences by allowing meeting participants to leverage their existing video display screens and mobile devices as interactive whiteboards for video collaboration.

The Polycom UC Board combines a plug-and-play receiver and stylus for ease-of-use, and a compact design for portability. The solution transforms LCD monitors and display surfaces into a video whiteboard space so every participant can stay fully engaged. The Polycom UC Board software natively integrates with the latest Polycom Real Presence Room HDX solutions to share content naturally, efficiently, and easily. Users participating in a video meeting can also share content, and use the Polycom UC Board to write, annotate or highlight key points, right on top of the presentation for everyone to see in real-time.

Sudhakar Ramakrishna, Executive VP & GM, UC solutions & Chief Development Officer, Polycom said, "The Polycom UC Board is the first integrated video collaboration solution to make sharing whiteboard content as easy as picking up a pen. That's great news for organisations of all kinds looking to bring remote employees and customers in a sales presentation, brainstorm, planning meeting, or training class with clear access to all the visual content being presented and discussed."
