Starting off with one of the first real-time systems to implement motion compensation and transform coding in July 1986, the company has since grown to
offer several systems, including relatively inexpensive models that provide audio/visual surveillance, more complex models that enable personal computer (PC) users to view each other on their computer screens, and complex multipoint systems that allow people in several locations to communicate at once.
PictureTel Corporation was founded by Brian L. Hinman, Jeffrey G. Bernstein, and Dr. David Staelin on August 13, 1984 in Massachusettes, USA. The company was later acquired by Polycom in October 2001.
