Cisco has unveiled a new video and collaboration solution, which, it says, is designed for organisations of all sizes.
According to a company statement,the solution allowsusers to effectively share video and content in rooms of any size depending on their needs as well as the setup of the room.
"Previous attempts to deliver collaboration have been incremental and good. But the cold, hard truth is that today's collaboration tools are forcing users to do today's jobs with yesterday's technology, says Conrad Steyn, collaboration product sales specialist at Cisco SA.
"It is time for a change. The industry is ready for a great leap forward, and Cisco is making that leap. These new products represent the first phase of a multi-phase roll-out in how Cisco is reimagining collaboration and setting the foundation for a revolution in the industry; stay tuned for more."
Cisco observes that technology makes it easier to connect and collaborate with colleagues, partners and customers from any location - whether that's the work office, the home office, a hotel room or a coffee shop. Reliable, high-quality, interoperable video - as opposed to video that's Web cam-based, unreliable or incapable of scaling - plays a significant role in the collaboration mix.
But, according to Cisco, there isn't enough of this technology adding that in the era of the Internet of Everything (IoE), Cisco believes video needs to be available everywhere.
"As anyone who has endured a video call via Web cam will tell you, a video session is only as good as the camera technology behind it," says Steyn. "Cisco unveiled two new offerings in this category, both of which work with many of the solutions today.
The Precision 60, Cisco adds, offers the industry's best image quality (1080p60), is highly adaptable to varying light conditions, and has a large zoom range, ensuring that the entire view is captured. The SpeakerTrack 60 is a unique dual camera system that intelligently finds the active speaker in larger meeting rooms and quickly zooms in to show his or her image.
These products will be available in SA between June and August, starting with the Cisco TelePresence SX10 Quick Set.
