The UK’s leading Video Conferencing Integrator, VideoCentric, announced today that they have the capability to demonstrate the entire Cisco SX Series range, including the Cisco SX10, SX20 and SX80 video collaboration endpoints. This has been fully integrated into their multi-vendor video demonstration suite and customers can now easily compare each system against each of their comparable competitor endpoints in an entirely unbiased and live environment.

The VideoCentric HQ facilities in Berkshire have hosted fully collaborative demonstrations that have been expanded to include each of the SX series endpoints next to one of every other mainstream video conferencing system, desktop video client and mobile video client integrated into each of the world’s leading Video Communication Network system and Unified Communications Platforms.

The new Cisco SpeakerTrack 60 dual camera tracking system has been installed on the Cisco TelePresence SX80, which automatically tracks the most active people in the meeting and will zoom in on them when necessary. The company is also able to demonstrate the SX80 in two other ways, firstly, controlled using Cisco’s new Touch-10 LCD panel which is supplied as standard with the SX80 and secondly, using AMX’s latest panoramic control unit for larger rooms which VideoCentric’s in-house programming experts design and program multiple external devices that also need to be controlled.

Emily Shimell, speaking about the exhibition stated, “We are really excited to now be able to demonstrate the full Cisco SX Series at our premises.” She then went further on to say, “The SX20, since its release in 2011 has always proved to be a huge hit with customers looking for the highest quality video collaboration experience for meeting spaces and boardrooms, but now the SX80 also provides for those customers needing even higher integration capabilities, and the SX10 providing for customers with smaller spaces and lower budgets.”

The facilities include Polycom Real Presence and the virtualised UVC platform from Lifesize as well as the Cisco video network components. Each endpoint & infrastructure platform is then integrated with both Microsoft Lync 2010 and 2013, and then is directly demonstratable with different technologies including Pexip, BlueJeans and Vidyo.

“We have always strived to provide a comprehensive demonstration facility where each customer can feel comfortable in trying out the full range of solutions available on the market, without any bias from one manufacturer. With every system going through stringent testing with our expert technical & sales team before adding to our suite, customers can be assured that they leave understanding both the benefits and drawbacks of each solution, it’s suitability for their individual organisations requirements and most importantly, how it can be expertly supported for years to come,” Shimell later went on to suggest.
