MicrosoftAfter many unofficial talks with both Poly, Yealink and MS on why HDMI ingest clearly works on Yealink when Poly can’t give clear deadlines on when it’s released, this is what we’ve found.
The reason is not MS, but the Snapdragon processor. Yealink uses 845 while Poly (and most others) use the older 835 and apparently it’s questionable when/if Qualcomm will release the drivers that allow this.
This is supposedly why Poly keeps pushing it to the next update (our rep says 4.0 in December but no promises as of this writing, but a month ago it was 3.6 and September).
I have this unofficially from MS and from Yealink, but I’m still waiting for Poly to confirm/deny, so it’s not 100% but at least it fits the storyline. Anybody that can corroborate or have opposing info would be appreciated.
We have 20+ Poly x50 rooms waiting on HDMI injection and 100 others waiting for a new solution, so If Poly is not releasing this, we need to replan. They’re pushing Pexip as alternative, but I’d really rather just change vendor now than live with the pain of multiple software solutions.
