[. . . ] Any Way You Want. Application Briefs by Polycom® Polycom Video Communications Collaboration Solutions Visual Collaboration using Polycom iPower Video Conferencing Systems Visual Collaboration using Polycom® iPowerTM Video Conferencing Systems Polycom People+Content TM Collaboration on meeting content has become as important to video calls as high quality audio and video technology. This application brief will explore the many ways content is introduced into a meeting through the use of an iPower visual collaboration system from Polycom. What is the Polycom People+Content Collaboration Model? The People+Content model assumes that meeting information (Content) presented for collaboration must be handled differently and appropriately for an overall superior and natural meeting experience. The basic principles for this collaboration model are: · · · "What I see, they also see": ensure meeting attendees always view the same information displayed locally and remotely Content should be shared in high resolution: meeting information is displayed in its native format so it can been seen clearly by all in the meeting People view should still be available while sharing content: never lose sight of your remote audience while sending content All sources and displays are classified as either people or content. [. . . ] The blue button on ImageShare allows the user to activate the content in the conference ­ and it also allows the user to "deactivate" the input, turning focus back to a people view without the need to reach back to the remote control. Now, there is no need to locate any other control devices in the room. If you are connected to ImageShare, then the blue button is always right there. Show Windows Desktop: The "Software" ImageShare iPower's Show Windows Desktop mimics the ImageShare II actions, but takes information directly from the PC that is built-in to the iPower system and presents this information into the videoconference using the People+Content model of collaboration. This information could include the last revision of a Microsoft Excel TM spreadsheet, a competitor's newest website, or any Microsoft Windows TM file stored on the iPower system PC. Collaboration through Application File Sharing iPower's PC platform allows for more traditional method of collaboration through the use of network drives and commands. Since the iPower system will most likely be resident within a conference room or office, it is logical to connect it to the company LAN to access company network resources. Commonly used network file transfer commands, such as FTP and mapped network drives are another method used for collaboration. The file needed for the meeting discussion is placed on the iPower PC, its drive is mapped or the file is sent to a PC that would act as a content host for the meeting call. This method of collaboration is most successful with out a firewall security system in place. iPower Embedded collaboration tools The iPower application leverages the open PC environment and provides access to embedded collaboration tools that allow users to edit content on an interactive basis. These tools can be found from the iPower application menu as shown in this graphic. These tools are used when the participants need to make real time changes to the presented data. These changes can be stored and updated to the iPower PC or to a LAN server on the network. T. 120 application devices (interactive whiteboards) Interactive Whiteboards can also be used as a collaboration tool with the iPower systems. An interactive whiteboard replaces an existing conference room whiteboard and allows the realtime capture of any handwriting and meeting points written on the whiteboard to a PC. An electronic whiteboard transforms an existing conference room whiteboard into an interactive whiteboard for capturing interactive meeting discussion. The iPower application embedded T. 120 tools can receive and render from any T. 120 based interactive whiteboard. That means if a meeting participant writes on a whiteboard connected to the iPower system, all remote participants can view that information and can use their own iPower connected whiteboard to proactively interact with the realtime discussion displayed on each whiteboard. Collaboration through the Web Browser based collaboration tools allow an iPower user to collaborate on data over the Internet. With an iPower system and the Polycom WebOffice collaboration tools, iPower users can launch a browser -based content presentation and sharing session through an optionally integrated WebOffice client. [. . . ] Its fully integrated end-to-end solution, The Polycom Office, is supported by the Polycom Accelerated Communications Architecture, and enables business users to immediately realize the benefits of integrated video, voice data and web collaboration over rapidly growing converged networks.
