Easy content
sharing
You can present content at a moment’s notice (whether you
are on or off a video call) by simply plugging a cable into your
laptop. All participants can easily view the content on the
tabletop content monitors.
Polycom Touch
Control and
updated user
interface
The Polycom Touch Control integrates with the rest of the
Polycom product line creating a consistent user interface. The

Operations Center (VNOC) or they can be user initiated using
the Polycom Meeting Composer™ feature.
Multi-purpose
room
When not used for telepresence conferencing, participants can
be seated on both sides of the main table. In this way, the
room can also be used as a training room, conference room, or
board room — maximizing its use for your organization. The
main table has content displays on both sides of the table so
everyone can see the content being shared in this
configuration.
Seamless video
displays
Large format, seamless video display walls allow for viewing of
continuous video across approximately either 8 feet (for RPX
200 Series solutions) or 16 feet (for RPX 400 Series solutions).

standards-based video conferencing products including other
telepresence solutions, such as the Polycom OTX 300 system,
the OTX 100 system, the Polycom Telepresence Experience

HDX™ solutions. RPX systems can now also interoperate with
Cisco Telepresence Interoperability Protocol (TIP) endpoints.
TIP is a proprietary protocol created by Cisco for deployment
with Cisco TelePresence systems.
Transparent
technology
With the cameras hidden behind the displays, the
microphones suspended from the ceiling cloud, the sound
system out of view, and no remote controls on the table, the
technology is hidden. Therefore, instead of spending time
learning how to use the system, you can focus on the business
at hand.

acoustic cloud and walls, and electronics. Multiple, flexible
room configurations allow you to choose the solution that suits
your application.
Room mobility The RPX suite is a true room-within-a-room. Because it is
modular and does not attach to the physical room, it installs
easily and can be moved to a new location, leaving the original
room intact.

that provides broader global appeal and a more consistent
meeting experience. Critical tools and connections are within

also includes signage.
High resolution
content monitors
The OTX 300 and standard OTX 100 systems provide large
21.5-inch high definition tabletop content monitors that rise
automatically on motorized lifts when content is available for
viewing. When not in use, they retract for expanded tabletop
usability.
Optimized
bandwidth
The Polycom OTX system leverages the power of H.264 High
Profile, a standards-based video compression technology that
delivers full HD quality while lowering your bandwidth
requirements by up to 50 percent.
Superior audio
and video quality

history of providing leading audio solutions, the OTX solution

audio. When meeting participants can pick up every nuance of
a conversation, see facial expressions, make eye contact, and
read body language, your organization can improve team
communications and collaboration.
High definition
video quality
Polycom HDX and Ultimate HD video solutions enable you to
experience the highest quality video possible on the large
65-inch LCD displays. The Polycom HDX codecs support
1080p at 30 fps and 720p at 60 fps.

telepresence solutions, such as the Polycom RPX 400 and
200 Series, the Polycom OTX 300 system, the OTX 100
system, and the Polycom Architected Telepresence
Experience (ATX) system, as well as traditional (standalone)
video conferencing equipment, such as Polycom HDX™

Transparent
technology
With the cameras in the credenza, the microphones
suspended from the ceiling, the sound system out of view, and
no remote controls on the table, the technology is hidden.
Therefore, instead of spending time learning how to use the
system, you can focus on your meeting.
Network options When it comes to setting up your network, you can section off
bandwidth from your existing infrastructure or you can install a
separate network to support telepresence.

Using the Polycom Touch Control
The Polycom Touch Control is your interface to the Polycom Immersive
Telepresence experience. It enables you to place video and audio calls, hang up
calls, adjust the volume, show content, and select options. The Polycom Touch
Control is located on the table within easy reach of the center seats at the table.
The procedures in this chapter pertain to the Polycom Touch Control in both
RPX suites and OTX and TPX rooms. Any differences between the RPX, OTX,
and TPX solutions are noted within the procedures. If you have an ATX room
with a Polycom Touch Control, then most of the Polycom Touch Control
functionality also applies to your system.
To use the Polycom Touch Control:
Touch the Polycom Touch Control screen to select an item.
Drag your finger across the screen to scroll.
Touch Back to go to the previous screen.
Touch Home to go to the Home screen.
Most buttons on the Polycom Touch Control will either immediately visually
depress or change color when touched. If a button indicates a state (such as
mute), it may take up to a second for the button to visually indicate the
changed state. If the response time is consistently longer than this or if you
receive no response, contact the Help Desk as described in the Getting Help
section on page 2-25.
If your organization has signed up for Video Network Operations Center (VNOC)
services, the VNOC may handle many or all of the telepresence conferencing tasks
for you. If so, you may not need to use the Polycom Touch Control.
