How the Polycom CX5000 System Works

The Polycom CX5000 system, when used with Microsoft Lync, Microsoft Office Live

Meeting 2007, and Microsoft Office Communicator 2007, is a video conferencing system.

Video conferencing is a set of interactive telecommunication technologies that enable

persons at two or more locations to interact using video and audio transmissions

simultaneously. It has also been called visual collaboration.

With the Polycom CX5000 system, you can do all of the following:

•Place an outgoing phone call.

•Answer an incoming phone call.

•Conduct an audio-only session.

•Conduct an audio/video conference.

When you place the Polycom CX5000 system in the center of your conference table, the

integrated cameras capture the entire panoramic view of your conference room, and the

integrated microphones capture the voices coming from any location around the table.

Polycom CX5000 System User’s Guide

The Polycom CX5000 HD System

Polycom CX5000 HD systems support HD (720 x 1280) active speaker video when

connected to a quad-core computer running a Microsoft Lync client. The HD video stream is

supported only for point-to-point calls. Video in Online Meetings or other collaborative

calls that use the Microsoft Lync AVMCU, such as for whiteboard presentations and

PowerPoint® slide shows, is limited in Lync Server 2010 to VGA resolution.

CX5000 HD systems also offer the active speaker modes supported by non-HD CX5000

systems on earlier releases. Except for HD active speaker video, CX5000 HD devices are

functionally identical to non-HD Polycom CX5000 devices.

Polycom CX5000 HD systems can be identified by the HD marking on the product label that

is located on the bottom of the tabletop console.
