Video conferencing products and accessories distributor, PicturePhone, has announced a new accessory cradle that attaches the LifeSize (News - Alert) Express codec

and a choice of associated LifeSize HD video conferencing cameras, to nearly any flat panel display.
The new mount on display (MOD) cradle easily and securely mounts the LifeSize Express codec as well as the LifeSize standard HD PTZ camera or the new LifeSize Focus HD videoconferencing camera, and further expands reseller's video conferencing system offerings.
Ken Nicholson, Manager of America's distribution for LifeSize said, "PicturePhone is a unique channel partners for us. They are an excellent distributor and bring numerous value-added products and services to our dealer base. They truly complement our products through their value-added efforts and we look forward to their continued success in developing the LifeSize channel to its fullest capabilities. I am looking forward to mounting one of the new PicturePhone MOD cradles on my personal video conferencing system."
With the new MOD cradle, users will have an aesthetically pleasing, fully adjustable interface for nearly any commonly available flat panel display.
The MOD cradle also includes integrated wire management, easy access to connectors, by the ability to mount it vertically, and thermal standoffs for full cooling air flow.
Dave Weber, Vice President for PicturePhone said, "LifeSize Visual Communication products deliver exceptional performance and given the strong demand we are experiencing for the latest LifeSize Express codec, we expect our new MOD cradle accessory to be a homerun in the field."
LifeSize made headlines just yesterday when it announced it was chosen by Face to Face Live as a key technology partner.
Also yesterday, in celebration of Earth Day, the company announced that their HD video conferencing services provide an option for Earth Day observers and the many businesses looking to go green, by reducing the need to travel, and therefore eliminating carbon emissions into the environment.
