Polycom 7000E - Manual

A split video conferencing solution for
medium to large-sized conference rooms.
Designed for flexibility, the Polycom VSX 7000e split system is ideal for medium to large conference
rooms where there is a requirement to have the camera and video system separated; for instance,
configurations that include plasma or LCD displays or projection screens. The VSX 7000e configurations
include a wide range of options that will match the needs of most meeting rooms, options such as data
sharing, multiple cameras and video bridging capability.
Like the other award-winning products in the VSX line, the VSX 7000e includes Polycom StereoSurround™
for the best audio in the market, as well as Polycom Pro-Motion™ for optimal motion handling and video
resolution. VSX 7000e customers can combine the SoundStation VTX1000
® conference phone with
their system, allowing them to make video calls through their conference phone and to use it as their
stereo microphone, eliminating clutter and wires on the conference table. Take your choice of how you
want to call – IP (H.323 and SIP) or ISDN – and be assured that your video conference is secure with the
most up-to-date encryption standards.
The VSX 7000e makes it easy to get started by giving you the option of connecting either a VGA or
TV as your main display. For applications that require content sharing, connect both a TV (for People)
and a VGA (for Content) display. The VSX 7000e is designed for maximum flexibility combining easy
installation and setup – thus allowing users to quickly and easily configure their VSX 7000e system for
immediate video conferencing.
The different connection options, all of which are plug-and-play, allow you to connect up to 3 pan-tilt zoom
cameras, a VCR/DVD to playback or record video and audio, document camera or other video sources, and a
PC to display content from the Web or other network sources. Once these other video and content sources
are connected, users can easily show a PowerPoint
® presentation, pictures, live video feeds, as well
as play audio files – all while participating in a video conference. And the other participants in the
video conference can always see the people speaking as well as the content being shown at the same time,
imitating the environment of everyone being in the same room.
In today's Internet driven world, the ability to conduct real time communication and collaboration has
become critical to an organisation's survival. As the market leader in voice, video, data and Web solutions,
our award-winning conference technology makes it easy for people to interact and maximise productivity –
over any network, in numerous environments, anywhere around the globe. That's why more organisations
worldwide prefer using Polycom conferencing solutions. Because when people work together, great things
happen.
