High-definition (HD) telepresence systems from Polycom, Inc., a global leader in unified communications (UC), are fast becoming the preferred solution for producers of filmed series and daytime talk shows to bring hit TV shows to viewers.

Hollywood producers are increasingly turning to Polycom (News - Alert) telepresence and the Polycom UC Intelligent Core infrastructure to enable their production teams to collaborate face-to-face on award-winning primetime series like “The Good Wife” and “Fringe.” Meanwhile, Polycom telepresence is just as popular with daytime TV shows, where it is the platform of choice for interacting with remote guests on such hits as “Dr. Phil,” “The Doctors,” and the new four-part series on “OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, Ask Oprah's All Stars.”

They all rely on Polycom's renowned high-definition (HD) telepresence experience, which reliably delivers smooth, natural motion and crisp, clear images, and sterling audio quality via Polycom HD Voice.

In a press release, Susan Hayden, Polycom executive vice president of worldwide marketing, said, “Telepresence (News - Alert) is rapidly revolutionizing the way TV is created and presented, and Polycom is the telepresence platform of choice for TV's hottest producers. Whether they rely on Polycom for filmed series, for pre- and post-production, or for on-camera communication with talk show guests, today's producers demand a reliable, crystal-clear HD connection so participants feel and appear as if they're in the same room. They know they'll get that experience with Polycom.”

Polycom was in news recently when Sennheiser Communications (News - Alert) announced that its DW Office wireless DECT headset has successfully completed interoperability and certification testing by leading networking and communication manufacturers, including Cisco (News - Alert), Polycom and Avaya. The DW Office, which was recently honored with an International CES Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering Award, is a single-sided DECT (News - Alert) headset designed for busy office professionals who need to keep in touch with customers and colleagues safely and securely.
