Standard System Components
This section describes the standard components that come with ViewStationEX,
ViewStationFX, and VS4000 systems. The models differ somewhat in their
standard components, as noted in the descriptions of the components.
In addition to the standard components, you can connect optional items to
enhance your videoconferences. These are described in the next section, Optional
System Components on page 1-11.

Main System

The ViewStation EX and ViewStationFX set-top systems provide cutting-edge
videoconferencing technology in a sleek design. The set-top contains the main
camera, system software, and internal hardware.
The VS4000 is a rack-mounted videoconferencing system that provides enhanced
videoconferencing capabilities including connections for up to three cameras and
a VCR or DVD, up to five monitors (four NTSC or PAL and one VGA), VCR inputs
and outputs, LAN connectivity for a computer, and connections for an external
audio system.
The original VS4000 uses 4-pin mini-DIN connectors for all S-Video connections; the
enhanced VS4000 uses dual BNC connectors.

Remote Control

The remote control is designed to make it easy to set up and operate the system —
a clearly marked, color-coded button corresponds to each common user task.
