VTX Video Teleconferencing System - Preliminary Introduction 1
Introduction
Overview
The AMX VTX (Figure 1) is an easy-to-use desktop video teleconferencing system
with options for expansion. The system is pre-programmed for the addition of an
external camera, an external monitor, a VCR, an external microphone, an external
sound system, an external echo canceller, and a mic mixer. A VTX server system can
create a distributed conferencing system, allowing multiple users with desktop
TiltCam touch panels to share a common pool of video teleconferencing equipment.
This manual describes a typical application using a combination of AMX equipment.
The VTX application described in this manual features the following AMX
standalone equipment: the exclusive AMX TiltCam, a color active-matrix LCD
TiltScreen touch panel that integrates graphical touch control with a built-in video
window, color camera, microphone, speakers, the VTX-2 codec, the AXB-EM232
Enhanced Master/RS-232 Controller, and the PS4.2 12 VDC, 4.2 A power supply. All
VTX systems are ready for use, with pre-programmed graphics and control
software. All VTX components are sold separately.
The VTX Video Teleconferencing System described in this document includes the
following AMX products:
• AXB-EM232 Enhanced Master/RS-232 Controller, a bus device that functions
like an AMX Enhanced System Master Card in a single compact enclosure and
has VTX-specific AXCESS programming
