Polycom RealPresence Trio 8800
I'm looking at using the Polycom RealPresence Trio 8800 as a replacement for some of our smaller conference rooms. We are currently using a combined traditional conference phone with a Surface tablet ...
I'm really impressed with the quality. Remember to update the software :-)
I works well in rooms where I told customers that they could not get a decent sound due to acoutics.
I create accounts dedicated to the rooms they are used in, and have them signed in all the time.
They are then invited as an attendee.
I have installed a trio in place of a polycom ip7000. Users report sound is amazing. It is in a very challenging conference room (large, glass, high ceilings), but remote users are very impressed with the improved sound quality. It has been worth it for the improved sound quality.
Setting up was a bit of a mystery. System basically keeps rebooting a bunch but that is because it knows it needs to upgrade firmware. I thought is was broken at first, but once it finished a few reboots it was all good. Logging into withSfB was no problem.
Visual+ I want to like it. Very easy to join and do screen share even if you are not on a call but...
frame rate is 5fps. For static stuff it is fine (slides) but fast scrolling it is a challenge and sometimes does not scroll to the part of the spreadsheet until I click on a cell in the new location. Sharing a video on a website or in a slide, forget it. Also as mentioned by others it only supports one stream, video stream OR screen sharing but not both at the same time. I wish Visual+ worked better.
Andrew,
make sure you are in latest firmware, picture in picture was added recentely
thanks, I will check into that. Probably current as of a month ago but I will confirm. That would make me like the Visual+ a bit more, but I was also hoping to use it for wireless display instead of AppleTV but the performace is just not there.
I will check on the firmware, thanks again.
