USER’S GUIDE FOR POLYCOM HDX SYSTEMS

Enjoying Stereo Audio in Video Calls

If your video conferencing room is configured to use stereo sound, the left and right microphone inputs are configured during system setup. It is important that you do not move the microphones as this may detract from the stereo audio experience.

Stereo audio is only used in video calls of 256 kbps or higher.

Showing Content

You may be able to show the following to the far sites:

Any information stored on a computer

A paper document or object placed on a document camera

A videotape or DVD

You can share one type of content or one video source at a time, and you can switch to a different type of content or video source if you need to. Participants at other sites can also share content or video sources.

Showing Content from a Computer

You can attach a computer to your Polycom HDX system and show content that is stored on the computer. When you share content from a computer, the far site can see you and what you see on the computer screen.

If you have the Polycom People+Content™ IP software application installed on your computer, you can show content from any Windows XP or Windows 2000 computer that is connected to the network.

People+Content IP provides video-only content. No audio is shared.

When you are sending content, the content sharing icon appears on your main monitor. Depending on the configuration of your system, you may also see the content on your monitor or projector.

Showing Content with People+Content IP

To install the People+Content IP application on a computer:

1.On a computer with Windows XP or Windows 2000, open a web browser and go to www.polycom.com.

2.Download and install the People+Content presenter software from the Polycom Resource Center.
