1.0 OBJECTIVES

This user guide will provide you with an overview of the Polycom ViewStation FX and the

knowledge to setup and use the videoconferencing equipment.

Learning Outcomes:

After reviewing this guide, you should be able to:

1. Identify and explain the main parts of the Polycom VSX 7000

2. Use the remote control to navigate through the Polycom VSX 7000 menus, set

camera presets, and access additional video sources.

3. Setup and use the equipment.

2.0 THE POLYCOM VSX 7000

The Polycom VSX 7000 videoconferencing equipment is ideal for meeting rooms,

classrooms, or medium group environments.

The main components of the Polycom VSX 7000 videoconferencing equipment are the

Camera, Codec, Monitor, Subwoofer, Remote Control, Microphone, Scan

Converter, Ethernet Cable and S-Video Cable Connector.

THE EQUIPMENT AT A GLANCE

Subwoofer

Scan Converter

Remote Control

Codec

Camera

Microphone

1. Camera - The built-in camera is a high quality imaging device which transmits

images to the screen/monitor. The camera movements are controlled by a wireless

infra red (IR) remote control that controls a variety of functions, both on the near and

far end.

2. Codec - The codec is the central part of the videoconferencing equipment. The main

task of the codec is the compression of outgoing video, audio and data, the

decompression of the incoming information and the transmission of this information

between endpoints. The name codec comes from a combination of the two words

compression and decompression.

3. Monitor - The monitor displays the far end or the near end image.

4. Remote Control - The remote control is used to place calls, adjust the volume,

navigate screens and select options. It controls all functions of the videoconferencing

equipment. The equipment will not function without the remote control.

5. Microphone – The Polycom VSX 7000 has an external table microphone which can

be situated accordingly to suite the size of the room and the number of participants.

The microphone will automatically equalize sound levels so that loud and soft voices

are picked up and transmitted to the far end at approximately the same level.

6. Subwoofer – The subwoofer is used to enhance the sound produced by the video

conference equipment.

7. Scan Converter – The scan converter is used to convert computer presentations to

a format more suitable for videoconferencing. The Polycom VSX 7000 does not

have one built in so it requires an external scan converter to ensure quality images

are sent to the far end site.

8. Ethernet cable - This type of cable is similar to the one that connects to the Local

Area Network (LAN). One end is plugged into the back of the codec and the other

end (for MBTelehealth purposes), must be plugged into the specified jack in the wall.

Once the Ethernet cable is plugged in, you will be able to connect, or be connected

to other sites.

9. S-VIDEO Cable - S-Video is short for Super-Video. Video signals are transmitted

through a cable which is divided into two separate signals: one for color and the

other for brightness.

device on individually or by turning on the power bar depending on how your

equipment is set up.

6. Position the camera on the participant(s) using the arrow keys and the zoom in

preset for quick access during a call.

3.4 Camera Presets

Camera presets are useful when pictures from many different camera positions have to

be viewed by the far end. Presets are used to switch camera positions without having to

manually move the camera every time.

Presets can be established before making a call or during a call.

The camera presets are available using the Preset button on the remote control.

To store a camera preset to the remote control:

1. Use the Arrow Keys and Zoom Button on the remote control to move the

camera to the desired position.

2. Press the Preset button

3. Press and hold a number to store the preset position.

4. Repeat as needed.

Presets are deactivated when the camera is moved manually.

To view your near-site camera presets:

1. Press the Preset button on the remote control.

2. Icons for presets 0-9 are shown on the screen. The colored icons indicate stored

camera positions, and the grey icons indicate available presets.

Page 7 of 14

MBTelehealth – Polycom VSX 5000/7000 User Guide

To use camera presets directly from the remote control while in a call:

1. Press a number on the remote control quickly twice (similar to how you would

double-click your mouse).

2. The camera will move to the preset position stored on that number.

To delete all presets:

1. If a call is connected, press the Near End Camera button to choose a

near-site video source.

2. Press the Preset button

3. Press the Delete button to delete all presets.

You cannot delete just one preset. Instead, override an existing preset

with the new camera position.

3.5 Placing and Receiving a Video Calls

3.5.1 Point to Point

To place a video call:

1. Select Directory from the Home Screen or press the Directory button on the

remote control.

2. Scroll down the list of contacts. Once you have found the site you want to

connect to, press the Call – Hang Up button to place the call.

You can quickly skip to a specific site by using the corresponding number key on

the remote control. For example, if you are looking for Pine Falls, press #7 on

the remote to skip to the P section of the phone book.

To accept an incoming video call:

1. Your videoconferencing system is set to Auto-Answer which means that if the

system is turned on, all calls will be answered unless you reject them.

2. If an incoming call notification appears while you are already in a call,

press the green Call – Hang Up button or the red End Call button (depending on

Page 8 of 14

your remote control) to reject the call.

3.5.2 Multi-Point

For sessions with 3 or more participating sites, you will be automatically dialed in by the

MBTelehealth helpdesk. If you are participating in a multi-site session, have your

equipment set up and turned on at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time

with the microphone on mute. Do not attempt to connect to another location.

3.6 Volume

To adjust the volume:

1. Press the Volume up or down button on the remote control to raise or

lower the volume. Changing the volume affects only the sound you hear at your

site.

Turning the volume down on the monitor will not affect the volume at the

far end.

3.7 Picture in Picture

The Picture in Picture (PIP) button allows users to display either near or far end images

in a smaller screen in one of the four corners of the monitor. This is useful for systems

that are set up using only one monitor.

To use Picture in Picture (PIP):

1. Press the Picture in Picture button once on the remote control to bring

up a PIP.

2. Press the Picture in Picture button again to move it around in the corners of the

screen.

Example of Picture in Picture View

3. To turn PIP off, press and hold the Picture in Picture button until the border

turns blue, then press it again.

3.8 Far End Control

Taking Far End Camera Control allows you to move the camera at the far end site as

well as control their video sources and presets during Point- to- Point calls only.

However, you cannot save far end camera presets.

Page 9 of 14

MBTelehealth – Polycom VSX 5000/7000 User Guide

Before taking far end camera control, always request permission first and explain why

you are taking control. You may need to take far end camera control if:

There is an unskilled operator at the far end.

The operator is unable to obtain the view you desire.

The operator requests that you take control.

If the operator isn’t able to facilitate the event at their end.

To take far end control during a call:

1. Press the far end camera control button.

2. Move the camera on your subject using the arrows keys and the zoom in and

out button on the remote control.

3. Press the far end camera control button again to exit from this option.

3.9 Disconnecting from a call

To disconnect from a call:

1. Ensure everyone has completed talking and mute the microphone.

2. Press the red Hang up Button on the remote control. Press it again to

confirm.

3. Once the call has been disconnected, turn off the equipment and place the

remote control in a safe area. If applicable, unplug the power and Ethernet cable

and put the microphone away.

It takes a few moments for the audio to turn off when disconnecting from a

call. Therefore, it is important to mute the microphone when the session is

over.

3.10 To Change Screen Layout in a Multi-site session

Changing the Screen Layout during an MCU Session allows the user to choose how

the other sites are displayed on their video conference monitor.

To change the screen layout in an MCU session:
