=0D=0A =0D=0A”With today’s product and service debuts, TANDBERG raises=
the bar for =0D=0Atelepresence,” said Fredrik Halvorsen, TANDBERG CEO.=
“Building on our =0D=0Ahistory of innovation, TANDBERG delivers a step=
change in telepresence =0D=0Athrough aesthetics and technology that heightens=
the sense of personal =0D=0Ainteraction while in a meeting. In addition,=
experts, suppliers and =0D=0Afrontline employees can be invited into a=
telepresence meeting immediately =0D=0Afrom wherever they may be. This=
is the new way of working.” =0D=0A =0D=0ANew TANDBERG Telepresence T3=
=0D=0A =0D=0AThe TANDBERG Telepresence T3 creates an experience that is=
personal and =0D=0Acomfortable while meeting the highest executive standards.=
The development =0D=0Ateam, including a social anthropologist, collaborated=
with customer groups =0D=0Ato evaluate preferred designs, colors and room=
set-ups to optimize the user =0D=0Aexperience. Blue walls the color of=
the Nordic sky and specialized room =0D=0Alighting create a natural appearance,=
and warm wood walls, aluminum and =0D=0Aglass provide an exclusive finish.=
=0D=0A =0D=0AThe design works in tandem with innovative technology invisible=
to the user. =0D=0A =0D=0AThe Full HD (1080p) telepresence engines, large=
Full HD screens and =0D=0APrecisionHD 1080p cameras, which are positioned=
for direct eye contact, =0D=0Aensure that participants appear as if they=
are in person. The TANDBERG =0D=0ATelepresence T3 also includes integrated=
touch collaboration screens to =0D=0Aplace calls and share presentations.=
Excellent sound quality is ensured by =0D=0Afull-duplex spatial audio=
with super wideband stereo sound. =0D=0A =0D=0AThe TANDBERG Telepresence=
T3 is interoperable with all standards-compliant =0D=0APC, desktop and=
room video systems, including HD systems. The native =0D=0Ainteroperability=
of the Telepresence T3 means participants can connect =0D=0Aeasily when=
and where they need to without being locked into a specific =0D=0Asystem,=
network or bandwidth. =0D=0A =0D=0A”HSBC has worked with TANDBERG extensively=
with its previous telepresence =0D=0Asystems, of which we have two, among=
the thousand or so TANDBERG executive =0D=0Avideo systems HSBC uses,”=
said Tim Cureton, group head of =0D=0Atelecommunications, HSBC. “The TANDBERG=
Telepresence T3 units are notable =0D=0Afor their usability beyond executive=
‘hello’ meetings, for their integration =0D=0A =0D=0Awith standard video=
conferencing technology, and for cost-efficiency. The =0D=0ATANDBERG T3=
will take our use of collaborative global telepresence meetings =0D=0Ato=
a new level, in addition to adding to our portfolio of green technologies=
=0D=0A =0D=0Athat reduce unnecessary travel expense and maintain our status=
as a =0D=0Acarbon-neutral company.” =0D=0A =0D=0ANew Telepresence Server=
=0D=0A =0D=0AWith the TANDBERG Telepresence Server, any type of standards-compliant=
video =0D=0A =0D=0Asystem can be added to a TANDBERG telepresence meeting=
at the best possible =0D=0Aquality, including HD. The Telepresence Server=
also provides robustness and =0D=0Areliability through the unique TANDBERG=
transcoding technology, which allows =0D=0A =0D=0Asystems with varying=
capabilities on different networks with different =0D=0Abandwidths to=
join into the same telepresence meeting. The Telepresence =0D=0AServer=
becomes a platform for scalability as an organization’s use of =0D=0Atelepresence=
grows. =0D=0A =0D=0AFor user convenience, five different telepresence=
viewing modes are =0D=0Aavailable, that extend the concept of continuous=
presence into the =0D=0Atelepresence environment. Meeting participants=
can see each other at the =0D=0Asame time between multiple sites, rather=
than just one other site. TANDBERG =0D=0Atelepresence users can select=
their preferred mode and, for connecting =0D=0Astandards-compliant video=
conferencing systems, the server intelligently =0D=0Adetermines the best=
mode to establish the highest quality experience =0D=0Apossible. =0D=0A=
