Enjoying Stereo Audio in Video Calls
If your video conferencing room is configured to use stereo sound, the left and
right microphone inputs are configured during system setup. It is important
that you do not move the microphones as this might detract from the stereo
audio experience.
Showing Content
Depending on how your system is configured, you might be able to show
content that is stored on a computer. When you show content, the far site can
see you and what you see on the computer screen.
You might be able to show the following to the far sites:
• Any information stored on a computer
• Real-time annotations made using the Polycom UC Board™
• A paper document or object placed on a document camera
• A videotape or DVD
You can show one content source and one people video source at a time, and
you can switch to a different type of content or people video source if you need
to. Participants at other sites can also show content or people video sources.
Content shown is from one site at a time; another site sharing content
overrides any content being shared.
Points to note about muting the microphone:
• Muting the microphone mutes audio coming from auxiliary audio inputs on
Polycom HDX 7000 series, Polycom HDX 8000 series, and Polycom HDX 9000
series.
• Muting the microphone does not mute audio coming from any device connected
to the VCR or content audio inputs.
• The microphone might automatically mute when the system is asleep or is
waiting for you to log in.
• The red mute indicator on the front of the Polycom EagleEye View camera is lit
when the system is muted or when a Polycom microphone is connected and
muted.
• The microphone might automatically mute when the system automatically
answers an incoming call.
Stereo audio is only available in video calls of 256 kbps or higher.
