Chapter 1 - Introducing the ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, and VS4000 Systems

Main Camera

The ViewStation EX and ViewStation FX come with an integrated main camera. Polycom recommends the Polycom PowerCam™ as the main camera for the VS4000 because the system uses a single connector for camera power and video, camera control, and the camera’s integrated infrared remote control receiver.

The VS4000 system can also use a Sony EVI-D100 (NTSC) or EVI-D100P (PAL) camera as its main camera.

The enhanced VS4000 is designed to be used with the PowerCam. Although it can use any of the cameras supported by the original VS4000, the full Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) functionality is available only with the PowerCam.

Microphone

The microphone pod provides audio input to the system. Its advanced audio technology focuses on the speaker so that the speaker’s voice does not have to compete with background noises, such as the sound from an air conditioner, to be heard. The microphone pod is designed to pick up voices from any direction.

The ViewStation EX comes standard with one microphone pod; the

ViewStation FX and VS4000 come with two.

Power Supply

The ViewStation EX and ViewStation FX set-top systems have an external power supply; the VS4000 has an internal power supply. They all use line voltages between 90V and 260V and line frequencies from 47 Hz to 63 Hz.

Do not use any power supply other than the one supplied with your ViewStation EX or ViewStation FX system. Using the wrong power supply will void the warranty and may damage your system.
