Imagine the most powerful and flexible collaboration system - One where you and your distant colleagues sit around the table sharing data, watching expressions, building consensus - yes even having arguments if you must - as you reach agreement, make plans and take decisions together. The iPower Series' amazing quality makes even simple calls noticeably better and really shines when the situation calls for more complex teamwork. Whatever your needs and meeting style, the PictureTel iPower Series brings dramatic improvements in communication, productivity and effectiveness.

Make the technology work for you. iPower, a new PC-based collaboration architecture developed by PictureTel and Intel, imitates how real groups work, face to face. From the start, iPower was designed to support seeing, hearing and sharing - with information coming from a laptop, a local network, the Web or other devices like document cameras. Integrate whatever you need into the discussion quickly and easily, so you can all focus on the content of the meeting, not the technology. Of course, if everyone is in the room, you can still use the iPower Series off the call. Access information from the system itself or simply plug in your laptop and share your files.

Easy to use with ultimate performance. The iPower Series is packed with features. People+Content™ puts motion first for viewing people and puts resolution first for information. Duel Images™ lets you see both the people and the information live all the time, irrespective of where your data is coming from. Pro-Motion™ offers interlaced video for TV quality images. Siren™ 14 delivers CD-lik audio. ImageShare™ provides the easiest way ever to get laptop content into your meeting - just plug in, press the blue button and you are connected. Choose what you want to show and when you want to show it; then everyone will see it in any location, at native resolution with real time motion.

Powerful, flexible and versatile, the open-PC based iPower Series lets you share data, build knowledge and make decisions, naturally.

ImageShare II  is a unique tabletop device that allows users to add their laptop as a source of content for display in a conference room meeting or a videoconference, by simply plugging it in and pushing a button.

ImageShare allows you to plug-in a laptop as if you are plugging it into a projector, with standard VGA and audio inputs. ImageShare captures the signal from the laptop's VGA output and allows the transmission of this image, live (full motion), at its native resolution (up to full XGA,1024x768). It also provides an audio input for multimedia content that includes sound (up to 14 kHz fidelity). The blue button on ImageShare allows the user to activate the content in the conference - and it also allows the user to "deactivate" the input, turning focus back to a people view without the need to reach back to the remote control.

The ImageShare II is included in the iPower 9800 and iPower 685 models, and it is optional for all other iPower models.
