Using the Polycom PowerCam Presenter
This chapter provides guidelines for setting up the hardware, describes the remote control, and explains how to configure the Polycom PowerCam Presenter. Information about how to use automatic camera tracking, control the camera manually, set camera presets, and obtain system information is also included. Tips on how to get the best results when using the Polycom PowerCam Presenter are provided at the end of this chapter.
Setting up the Hardware
To properly set up the PowerCam Presenter hardware, refer to the Setting up the Polycom PowerCam Presenter document, which you received with your system. This document is also available at www.polycom.com/ videodocumentation.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when setting up the hardware:
•Connect the cables precisely as shown on the Setting up the Polycom PowerCam Presenter document. If you change the way the system is cabled or use different cables, adapters, or connectors, you may experience video delay and lip synchronization issues.
•As shown on the Setting up the Polycom PowerCam Presenter document, you cable the system differently depending on whether or not you have a Polycom VSX video conferencing system connected to the PowerCam Presenter. Be sure to follow the cabling diagram that pertains to your particular system configuration.
•The video used for presentations, video conferencing, and recording comes directly from the camera, whereas the video used for the user interface and system feedback appears on a separate display connected to the controller.
Therefore, if you want to view the user settings screens and see icons and messages from the system, you must connect a separate display to
connector 
on the controller.
