If you’ve been looking for a video conferencing solution with the highest quality audio and video, and easy enough for anyone to use - Polycom VSX is the answer.

For the first time, top-quality video conferencing is available in an entry-level system.

With the Polycom VSX, we’ve combined the most technologically advanced audio, video, and processing into a single set-top system that’s as easy to use as a telephone – all at an affordable price.

With unparalleled crisp, clear audio, the Polycom VSX makes an impact that’s as powerful as being in the same room. The VSX brings you near CD quality audio by delivering Polycom VSX Siren™14 Plusaudio with an integrated midrangespeaker and subwoofer, paired with a 360-degree microphone. That means you’ll be able to speak to and hear other people in the conference as if they’re sitting right next to you, no matter where in the world they’re really located.

But that’s not all the VSX has to offer. You asked for television-like video, and Polycom delivers. Using the industry’s most advanced technology, H.264 and Pro-Motion™, the VSX provides such exceptionally natural, smooth-motion video, that you’ll feel as if you’re watching your favorite movie.
