INTRODUCTION 

 

The  Polycom®  HDX  4500

 

is  a  self  contained  desktop  High  Definition  (HD) 

videoconferencing system with a maximum picture resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels 
(1080p)  at  30fps.  It  is  the  highest  specification  model  in  Polycoms  HDX  4000 
series  of  conferencing  solutions.  The  system  comprises  a  24‖  picture  monitor, 
CODEC,  camera,  microphones  and  loudspeakers  integrated  into  a  single  desktop 
unit. Compatibility with  other H.323 and SIP  CODECs is  achieved across a range 
of  resolutions  from  SIF  (352x240  pixels)  up  to  1920  x  1080  depending  on  the 
capability of the remote CODEC and the connection bandwidth. 
 
Available options include: 
1080p resolution 
4 Site Multipoint Conference unit (MCU)  
 
The systems supplied for evaluation included the 1080p option only.
