Polycom UC Board

Transforming ordinary surfaces into virtual whiteboards

Easy-to-share and easy-to-see—start creating

People meet to strategize, share ideas, and plan. When meeting over distance, participants on the far end of a video meeting can be at a disadvantage during creative or brainstorming sessions when content is shared spontaneously, spurred by conversation in the meeting. Whiteboarding and smart-boards are a great way to creatively interact and capture ideas but traditionally have been expensive and cumbersome to install and use in a video setting.

The Polycom® UC Board™ device is the perfect solution to transform any whiteboard or LCD monitor into an interactive video whiteboard space and it natively integrates with the Polycom® RealPresence® Group Series or Polycom® HDX® video system in the room. Sharing ideas in any video session is as simple as picking up a pen and starting to write, draw, and interact.

The Polycom UC Board solution is the latest in break-through innovations from Polycom that are transforming the collaborative experience and elevating a typical video conference into a fully interactive and immersive session where people make decisions, solve problems, and move to action. From doctors illustrating a diagnosis to a patient, to an architect sketching the next concept for green construction, to a student solving a problem with classmates from around the world, the Polycom UC Board solution enables users to interact naturally and efficiently. Users can easily share with multiple participants and also record their work with Polycom’s recording and streaming technology.

Leading technology innovation, unmatched performance

Polycom is the only manufacturer to offer this ease of use and native integration for video whiteboarding by creating a direct connection from the video codec to any standard whiteboard or LCD in the room. Users just walk up to the board and pick up the stylus, and as soon as the pen touches the whiteboard, remote participants see the notations and are immediately engaged.

The Polycom UC Board solution is an intuitive and collaborative addition to any conference room and will be used immediately and frequently. Set-up is quick and easy, and little to no user training is necessary. Users just pick up the pen and start writing.

With standards-based content sharing, the Polycom UC Board allows users to share their work seamlessly with any other standards-based system from Polycom and other manufacturers without the need for any gateway or conversion software. Mobile users on Polycom® RealPresence® Desktop and Polycom® RealPresence® Mobile can also view information shared by participants using the UC Board solution.
