Polycom supports numerous algorithms ranging in capability from G.711, (low bandwidth (7 kHz) and high bit rate (48, 56, 64 kbps)), to G.722, (high bandwidth (7 kHz) and high bit rate (48, 56, 64). The ability to automatically adjust the quality of audio is important when supporting low bandwidth calls. When more bandwidth is available, the codec wants to use more bandwidth to get better audio.
The second benefit of the increased horsepower is the increased utilization of ITU defined Annexes that are the compression tips and tricks used to optimize the limited bandwidth for delivering the best possible picture possible. At Polycom, we emphasize picture quality above all other aspects of video. We also realize the importance of smooth motion handling. Because we are not willing to comprise on either, we cannot sacrifice the overall quality of the picture to deliver 30 frames per second at lower bandwidths than 336 kbps.

Embedded streaming capabilities let you capture and send meetings, presentations or broadcasts to anyone equipped with a Web browser. Polycom's unmatched full duplex sound and tracking technology make video meetings effortless, natural, and push-button-easy. Audio flexibility and custom application support are extensiv
The ViewStation has a tremendous amount of power. Polycom uses that power in two ways for video. At high bandwidths (512 kbps up to 1.922Mbps), it delivers TV quality, 60 fields video, for an outstanding video image and complete motion capture! The secret is capturing both fields, which comprise a frame. (For NTSC, there are 30 frames per second). By capturing both fields, the resolution is greatly heightened and the motion is captured much more accurately. The resulting image is amazingly brilliant.
