Key Features
Breakthrough Video Quality
• Best for low bandwidth calls — The H.264 standard provides consistent,
high quality video at data rates up to 768kbps.
• Best for high bandwidth calls — Polycom’s own standards-based
Pro-Motion™ H.263 50/60 fields per second video provides television-like
quality for all VSX systems. In addition, the VSX 8000 supports
Pro-Motion H.264 for the highest quality video available at date rates from
256kbps to 2Mbps.
• Adjustable bandwidth for content — The call quality preference can be
set to Content (90% content, 10% people), People (10% content, 90%
people), or Both (50% content, 50% people).
Adapters Use the composite video adapters with VCR
cables.
The spring cage (Phoenix) connectors fit the
balanced audio inputs and outputs and infrared
sensor connectors on the system, and allow you to
re-terminate cables if necessary.
Use the null-modem adapter with a serial cable
when connecting the VSX 8000 system to a
modem for closed captioning.
Use the DB-15 to DB-9 adapter to connect a
camera control cable to one of the RS-232 ports, or
to connect a camera other than the PowerCam™ to
the main camera input.
