Polycom Revolutionizes Distance  Learning with new ClassStation Package

Complete distance learning video communications packages set new standard for ease of use and affordability.

Distance learning has grown tremendously over the past few years, extending beyond the  traditional K-12 classroom setting into business, tele-health, continuing education and training applications of all kinds. Our new  ClassStation package is a complete, integrated videoconferencing solution that  allows instructors to focus on teaching, instead of on technology.  It successfully combines all of the features critical to distance-learning success ease of use, high quality and  affordability.

The  ClassStation package is based on Polycom's industry-leading VS4000 rack-mounted group video communications system, already widely deployed in custom-room environments.  Designed with direct input  from active distance-learning users, ClassStation is available in three different packages, small, medium and large to accommodate a wide range of distance-learning classroom needs.  In addition, the packages feature CamCommand, which enables automatic switching from the instructor camera to the  student camera when a student microphone is activated, a functionality that is the most automatic and transparent in the industry.  The packages also include touch-to-talk  microphones that, when activated, pan, tilt, zoom and focus the student camera on the speaking student.
