About this Guide

The Polycom ATX Integrator’s Guide provides high-level guidelines on how to

integrate the Polycom®Architected Telepresence Experience™ (ATX™)

solution with the customer’s plasma displays, table, and other components to

create a room suitable for immersive telepresence conferencing.

The information in this guide covers both the standard ATX 300 version 3.0.3

system as well as the ATX Software Development Kit (SDK) version 3.0.3,

which runs on the ATX 200, ATX 300, and ATX 400 hardware platforms. With

the ATX SDK, the AV integrator customizes the user interface, controls, and

content using a vendor-provided control module.

This guide is intended for AV integrators and is not intended as an end user

guide.

•You must have current certification through Polycom to install and

support ATX installations.

•You should have prior knowledge and experience with Polycom

•You should have prior knowledge and experience with Polycom HDX™

systems.

In addition, if you are installing the ATX SDK, you should be familiar with

developing GUIs for control panels and you should have experience with

control systems from control panel vendors.
