Saw it in '24'

Wasn't it in season 6? It did look nice. Of course, Cisco must have an exclusive product placement agreement with the '24' producers, because there just HAPPENS to be some fancy Cisco firewall (that someone attempts to breach), some Cisco VOIP phones (that get strategically placed in the screen shot), and the TelePresence suite (that starts up with a nice wide Cisco logo).

If it's good enough for CTU and Jack Bauer, it's good enough for my company. <g>

They actually made it look grainer on "24"

The TelePresence scene in 24 actually made the video look grainer intentionally, so the viewer could tell when the camera point of view was on the Russian leader in Russia, and when the camera point of view was on the TelePresence screen in Washington.

It is better than that. See it in person, if you can.

Cisco's product while not the best meeting experience is at least reliable. They are serious about delivering a finished product not just racing to a quarterly profit deadline. Cisco ships fully configured ready to go systems
