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

Polycom Touch Control enables you to manage your

conference by placing video and audio calls, hanging up calls,

adjusting the volume, showing content, and selecting options.

Multipoint

capability

Multipoint capability provides you with the flexibility of

connecting to multiple telepresence rooms as well as

traditional video conferencing systems at the same time.

Multipoint calls can be initiated by the Video Network

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).

Interoperability The Polycom RPX solutions are interoperable with all

standards-based video conferencing products including other

telepresence solutions, such as the Polycom OTX 300 system,

the OTX 100 system, the Polycom Telepresence Experience

(TPX

) 306M system, and the Polycom Architected

Telepresence Experience (ATX) system, as well as traditional

(standalone) video conferencing equipment, such as Polycom

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.

Key Features and Benefits of the Polycom OTX Systems

The key features and benefits of the Polycom OTX systems include:

All inclusive

environment

Polycom RPX suites include all the furnishings, studio lighting,

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.

Feature Benefit

Appealing design The OTX room has been designed with a fresh look and feel

that provides broader global appeal and a more consistent

meeting experience. Critical tools and connections are within

easy reach. Additionally, with the optional Complete

Experience Kit (available with the OTX 300 and standard OTX

100 systems), which includes the rear wall and lighting, you

can enhance your telepresence experience with a finished

look and bold lighting. The OTX 300 Complete Experience Kit

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

Combining Polycom UltimateHD™ technology with Polycom’s

history of providing leading audio solutions, the OTX solution

delivers superior visual quality and 22 kHz StereoSurround

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.

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.
