The Polycom
®
EagleEye Director changes the face of group video communications by enabling
close-up views of every speaker in a video conference, regardless of their location or the number of
people in the room. With fully automated camera pan, tilt, and zoom motions, the EagleEye Director
resolves the common problem in video conferencing of seeing all participants during a meeting, but
not being able to see facial expressions of the person talking. Now, by highlighting, zooming in, and
framing active speakers, everyone can clearly see critical facial expressions and read the subtle
body language which enables deeper engagement and more effective meetings.
Leveraging patent-pending technology, including voice triangulation, face finding, and an
innovative dual-camera configuration, the EagleEye Director delivers breakthrough affordability
in personalizing the telepresence experience for every group conference and enables richer
communication and more productive meetings. With meeting participants no longer needing to
worry about staying in the camera view or interrupting the flow of conversation to handle the
remote control, they can spend 100% or their time in meetings focusing on the bigger issue—their
business.
Innovative Technology Delivers Unmatched Value
With powerful processing technology on board, the EagleEye Director ships ready to be used in
conjunction with any of the Polycom HDX
®
series room telepresence systems and is simple to set
up through a single cable connection. An array of seven microphones in the base of the unit allows
the EagleEye Director to precisely locate voices in a variety of room shapes and sizes, making it the
ideal solution for large conference rooms, class rooms, or board rooms.
Locate, Recognize, Frame, Display
Beyond advancing the technology, Polycom leveraged deep human factor expertise to optimize
EagleEye Director behavior. Once the voice has been located, the EagleEye Director executes
facial detection algorithms to determine if the user is speaking to other users in the room or to
meeting participants at the far end. The camera will then automatically ‘zoom in’ and position the
speaker in the optimal proportion and location in the viewing window. This multi-step process helps
ensure that far-end participants always enjoy a high-impact, immersive experience.
A wide-panning radius of the cameras gives users the flexibility to move freely about the room with
the confidence that the EagleEye Director will always keep them clearly in view. This is ideal for
classrooms and other environments where room layouts may be more challenging.
