Since video conferencing systems greatly enhance communication, they have become common workplace tools. Thanks to its convincing concept, the Cisco TelePresence IX5000 delivers the best possible communication experience for such fully integrated, audio, video and data conferencing systems. At first glance it fascinates with its design featuring perfectly balanced elements. The optimally placed cameras and life-sized screens are rounded out by innovative, seamlessly integrated loudspeakers. The presentation cables and system controls are elegantly integrated into the table surface and hidden within the unicast aluminium legs. The centre of communication is marked by an aesthetically pleasing, triple LCD display arc, which is framed by a seamless textile panel to create an impressive panoramic visual effect. The conference system also provides a unique way of responding to incoming calls. When a call comes in, the textile panel is, almost magically, illuminated by hidden LED lighting panels ensuring optimal lighting for video broadcast. Consistent and natural audio capture is guaranteed by signature aluminium microphones integrated into the table. Thus, based on a fundamental reinterpretation, a novel conferencing system has emerged with an elegant design tailored to create a highly natural communication experience that will fascinate all who use it.
