Flammability
Refer to the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex Technical Specifications document for flammability
class information. The user may be legally required to perform their own Risk Assessment to ensure that
the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system is safe to use in their location. A Fire Marshall
assessment may also be required. Additional site safety measures may be necessary to ensure that fire
risks and escape routes are legally compliant. Polycom cannot advise or endorse any such safety
measures.
Will the Immersive Studio Flex System
Fit in My Room?
The first step in preparing for a RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system installation is to make sure
that the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system will properly fit into the room you selected. The
following table can help you make that determination. Refer to the Room Remediation Plan for more
details.

Room Width
Considerations
If your room is wider than 21 ft (6.4 m)
side-to-side, Polycom recommends that
you install the RealPresence Immersive
Studio Flex system in the center of the
room.
Room Height
Considerations
The maximum ceiling height is 14 ft 0 in
(4.26 m). The minimum ceiling height is 8
ft (2.44 m).
If your room does fit the size requirements listed in the table, continue through the rest of this
document to determine the other RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex room requirements.
If your room does not meet the size requirements, you can modify the room or select a new one,
you can call your Polycom sales representative for assistance, or you can speak to your Polycom
Project Manager (if one has been assigned to you).

Physical Room Requirements
The RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system is available with a media wall and optional participant
table, front façade wall, and room lighting.
This section provides information about the:
Table Requirements
Ceiling Requirements
Front and Rear Wall Requirements
Side Wall Requirements
Floor Requirements
General Room Requirements
Table Requirements
Power and data are not supplied in the main and rear tables. It is the customers’ responsibility to install
power and data in the tables.
Ceiling Requirements
Height
Minimum ceiling height: 8 ft (2.44 m) (For rigid ceilings: 8 ft 2 in (2.49 m))
Maximum ceiling height: 14 ft (4.26 m)
These ceiling heights apply to rooms with or without the Flex Optional Lighting Kit. For more information
about room size requirements, see the previous page.
Polycom Ceiling Microphone Arrays
To obtain the best acoustics, the ceiling should be a suspended ceiling (also known as a dropped
ceiling); however, structural ceilings are also supported.
If your ceiling is higher than 9 ft (2.74 m) and lower than 14 ft (4.26 m), you must order three
optional 6-foot (1.82 m) drop cables (part number 2457-26765-072) from your Polycom sales
representative. Be sure to order one drop cable for each Ceiling Microphone Array.
For more information about the Ceiling Microphones, see the Ceiling Microphone Array placement plan
and the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system side view for standard and CA, OR, WA
installations at the end of this document.
Color
If your ceiling can be painted, paint it white or a light color that is as close to white as possible.
Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex System Installation Room Preparation Guide
Polycom, Inc. 8
If your ceiling is suspended (also known as a dropped ceiling) and the ceiling tiles and grid are
damaged, grayed, or yellowed, you should replace the old suspended ceiling with a new one.
Lighting
This section describes how to ensure proper lighting in the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex room:
If you are planning to install the Flex Optional Lighting Kit
If you are not planning to install the Flex Optional Lighting Kit
If your room is larger than the recommended room size (whether or not you are planning to install
the Flex Optional Lighting Kit)
If you are planning to install the Flex Optional Lighting Kit:
Your Polycom Project Manager will work with you and your electrician to prepare for the installation of the
lights. Note that it is the customers’ responsibility to purchase and install the ceiling lights in accordance
with all local building and electrical codes. Documentation about how to install the lights is packaged with
the lights. It is also the customers’ responsibility to create the customer signage label and provide it to the
installers at this stage.
The following table lists product information about the light fixtures that are part of this kit:

this document.
See the specification sheet for the lights:
http://www.gelighting.com/LightingWeb/na/solutions/indoor-lighting/suspended/lumination-ep-
series.jsp.
If you are not planning to install the Flex Optional Lighting Kit:
If you are not planning to install the Flex Optional Lighting Kit, you will not receive the Polycom lighting;
therefore, you must provide your own lighting. Polycom recommends using a lighting designer and having
the lighting professionally installed. The room should have evenly dispersed ambient light.
To ensure proper lighting, you must measure the lighting at the seats in the room.

Measure 15-Seat Room Lighting
To measure the lighting:
Place a light meter (such as a Sekonic
®
L-758C) 50 in (127 cm) above the floor.
Place the light meter perpendicular to the light sensor (since this is what the camera sees).
Check that the light meter dome is fully retracted.
Use a tripod to maintain height consistency.

The lighting should meet the following requirements:
The light levels on the faces of all participants should be between 30 and 70 foot candles, with an
ideal measurement of 45 foot candles. The difference in light levels between any two participants
must be less than 10 foot candles.
The lighting temperature should be between 3200K and 4500K, with an ideal measurement of
4100K.
The Flex Optional Lighting Kit lighting plan is included in the Room Remediation Plan. You may want to
refer to this plan as a reference when choosing and installing your own lighting. For additional information
to help you choose lighting that is comparable to the Flex Optional Lighting Kit lighting, see the
specification sheet for the lights:
http://www.gelighting.com/LightingWeb/na/solutions/indoor-
lighting/suspended/lumination-ep-series.jsp.
If your 6-seat room is larger than the recommended room size:
If your room is larger than 21 ft 10 in (6.65 m) wide x 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m) deep x 8 ft (2.44 m) high, any lighting in
the room that is outside of the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex footprint could cause interference
with the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex lighting. Polycom recommends that all rooms that are
deeper than
16 ft 1 in (4.9 m) front-to-back should include a Flex Optional Lighting Kit.
To reduce the probability of interference from other lights in the room:
Remove any lights within 4 ft (1.21 m) of the sides or back of the RealPresence Immersive Studio
Flex footprint. This “keep-outarea is shown in blue in the following figure.
Check that there are no lights within the 84° total field of view of the cameras. This area is also
shown in the following figure.
Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex System Installation Room Preparation Guide

6-Seat System
If your 15-seat room is larger than the recommended room size:
If your room is larger than 26 ft 4-7/8 in (8.05 m) wide x 21 ft 3 in (6.48 m) deep x 8 ft (2.44 m) high, any
lighting in the room that is outside of the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex footprint could cause
interference with the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex lighting. Polycom recommends that all rooms
that are deeper than 21 ft 3 in (6.48 m) front-to-back should include a Flex Optional Lighting Kit.
To reduce the probability of interference from other lights in the room:
Remove any lights within 4 ft (1.21 m) of the sides or back of the RealPresence Immersive Studio
Flex footprint. This “keep-out” area is shown in blue in the following figure.
Check that there are no lights within the 84° total field of view of the cameras. This area is also
shown in the following figure.
Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex System Installation Room Preparation Guide
Polycom, Inc. 13
15-Seat System
Ideally, all the lights in the room should be from the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex Optional
Lighting Kit. However, if your room has lights outside of the “keep-out” area, these lights must have the
same temperature as the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex lighting. Additionally, to minimize stray
light, Polycom recommends that these lights be downward-facing, such as recessed can lights.
Media Wall Only Requirements
If you purchase only the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex media wall and supply your own table,
ensure that the table matches the dimensions below as closely as possible. Also, ensure that the seating
positions match what is shown below.

preferred device of the same capacity. The customer must ensure that their device fits within the 38 cm
depth of the Immersive Studio Flex electronics rack.
If an in-room switch is used, only one LAN connection on the front wall is required.
If the customer wants to connect components to the LAN ports on the wall, without using a switch, they
must supply longer network cables.
For more information about the network requirements, refer to the Room Remediation Plan.
Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex System Installation Room Preparation Guide
Polycom, Inc. 19
Microphones
Polycom Ceiling Microphone Arrays
To prepare for the installation of the Ceiling Microphone Arrays, an electrician must do the following:
Install a single gang junction box (for 6-seat systems) or two boxes (for 15-seat systems) in the
front wall of the room as specified in the Room Remediation Plan.
Install a conduit in the front wall of the room. The conduit should extend in a straight run from the
junction box(es) to the plenum space in the ceiling, and should be at least 1.2 in (30 mm) in
diameter.
Stub up the conduit (that is, bend it approximately 90º) into the plenum area.
Additionally, Polycom recommends at least a 4-foot (1.2 m) separation between any HVAC equipment
(particularly air conditioning equipment) and the Ceiling Microphone Arrays.
For more information about installing the Ceiling Microphone Arrays, see the Ceiling Microphone Array
placement plan and the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex side view for standard and CA, OR, WA
installations in the Room Remediation Plan. For more information about HVAC equipment, see the Noise
section on page 24.

DISCONNECT switch installed in the room.
Power Outlets
120V region (such as North America)
The system requires one dedicated 20A circuit (15A minimum). This should terminate to a quad AC box.
It must be located on the front wall as specified in the Room Remediation Plan.
220V and 230V region (such as Europe)
The system requires one dedicated 16A circuit (13A minimum). This should terminate to a quad AC box.
It must be located on the front wall as specified in the Room Remediation Plan.
