I have seen all 7985 and 7970s in allmost every entourage episode in Ari Gold's office.

In Germany product placement is forbidden except in commercial TV.

Most times telephones are not shown. Normal microphones are used to communicate with callers in shows.

I have never seen a Cisco phoneset in TV.

Cheers

Hello All!

A little something on the lighter side that you might find fun (at least those that enjoy a video game now and then!)

On April 13th, 2010 - Ubisoft launched its critically acclaimed Tom Clancy’s SPLINTER CELL videogame series, the long-awaited sequel for Xbox 360 and PCs. Sam Fisher, popular star of the series, is back in action in Splinter Cell Conviction. The video game features a new ground-breaking single player campaign and innovative online co-op play modes.

Cisco Unified IP Phones 7900 and 9900 Series and Cisco TelePresence are integrated throughout the game and help to bring actual and fictional landmarks in Washington D.C. to life.

You can have a look at some of the scenes from the game at the Cisco Video Lounge - http://videolounge.cisco.com/video/splinter-cell-features-cisco/ - powered by Cisco Eos. (Note: This will take you out from the community so please be sure to return and join the conversation!)

Splinter Cell's release date schedule from Ubisoft is as follows:

April 13: North America on Xbox 360

April 16: Europe on Xbox 360

April 27: Global release on PC

Enjoy!

Hello All,

On the lighter side and in keeping you updated as we get video from studios (TV and Movies), wanted to share with the community a video we just received from the television program NCIS.

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971 is part of a pivotal scene between NCIS characters Director Vance and Senior Rivera as they discuss a pending investigation. Mid-conversation, Director Vance is able to video conference in “Abby” with the touch of just a few buttons, and they continue their 3-Way video conversation without missing a beat.

http://videolounge.cisco.com/video/ncis-features-video-phone/

For those in North America, the actual episode will air this coming Tuesday, May 18th. Check your local listings for the program schedule within your particular time zone.

For our friends in other regions across the globe, I am checking to see if we can obtain an airing schedule. I'll update this posting if that info is made available to us.

Enjoy!

I have just seen our IP Phones while watching the new Hawaii 5-0 last Monday...

I, at least, have seen more and more of our products on TV Series lately, which is always a great thing, from a branding (marketing) and exposure (publicity) standpoint.

Thank you Amit and Hello to All Community Members!

I'm pleased to share that the studio at CBS has an upcoming episode of the popular television show NCIS:LA, which on May 3rd at 9pm ET/PT, 8pm CT (US Only - see below to check global airing dates), shall feature our own Cisco Cius!

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SCENE

The scene starts with the shows’ main characters, Sam, Callen, Eric, and Nell, participating in a secure video call and analyzing weapon serial numbers from Nell’s main lab, while the Cius is docked.  The scene ends with Nell in the lab being asked to accompany the detectives to the prison to interrogate the suspect. She then continues her Cius video conversation with Eric, who has remained at the lab, from the back seat of the car while the detectives drive. The second scene is in the interrogation room of the prison with the bad guy.  Nell is streaming the session on the Cius which enables Eric to watch the live feed and look for documents that shows proof of the crime.
