Option 3

For installations where the use of HDMI cables is preferred, the Polycom Digital Breakout Adapter (DBA) is recommended. There are two versions of this adapter. One version is for use at the codec. The other version is for use at the camera, which requires a power transformer.

You can use the DBA with a standard HDMI cable and a DB9 cable to connect the camera with a DBA to another DBA at the codec. Instead of an HDMI cable, the configuration can include HDMI switchers between the DBAs. Use the following cables to connect the DBA:

● HDCI Polycom EagleEye IV Digital Camera Cable to connect the EagleEye IV to a DBA, and another HDCI Polycom EagleEye IV Digital Camera Cable at the codec to the DBA. The EagleEye Acoustic has a captured cable and can directly connect to the DBA.

● User-supplied HDCI and DB9 cables would be used between the DBAs and/or user-supplied equipment

Another application allows the HDCI to be broken out to HDMI, and if needed DB9, to connect the HDMI sources on the codec or the input of another device.

For additional configurations of the DBA, including the DB9 connector, see Polycom RealPresence Digital

Breakout, Codec Adapteror Polycom RealPresence Digital Breakout, Camera Adapter in the Cables section

of this guide.

● Cable 2457-69794-001 and an HDCI Polycom EagleEye IV Digital Camera Cable to connect to a DBA, and another HDCI Polycom EagleEye IV Digital Camera Cable to a DBA

● User-supplied HDCI and DB9 cables would be used between the DBAs and/or user-supplied equipment

Another application allows the HDCI to be broken out to HDMI, and if needed DB9, to connect the HDMI sources on the codec or the input of another device.

For additional configurations of the DBA, including the DB9 connector, see Polycom RealPresence Digital

Breakout, Codec Adapter or Polycom RealPresence Digital Breakout, Camera Adapter in the Cables

section of this guide.

Install the EagleEye Digital Extender

For RealPresence Group system installations requiring distances of farther than 10m between the Polycom EagleEye Producer and EagleEye IV or EagleEye Director II cameras, use the Polycom EagleEye Digital Extender. See option 2 under Polycom EagleEye IV Camera as the Main Camera for an example of a configuration that uses the EagleEye Digital Extender.

Use the guidelines and recommendations in this section when installing the EagleEye Digital Extender.

CAT 5e/6 6 4 2 1

CAT 6a/7 6 6 6 6

Recommended Cable Polycom EagleEye Digital Extender is based on HDBaseT technology. Cat 5e cable was used for all FCC and CE regulatory testing. For best performance, use HDBaseT recommended Cat 6A solid conductor shielded cable (CAT 6A F/UTP) found at http://hdbaset.org/cables.

EagleEye Digital Extender Installation Best Practices When installing the EagleEye Digital Extender, follow these installation recommendations:

Notes:

• Augmented Cat6a F/UTP (sometimes referred to as ScTp) or Cat7 S/FTP (fully

shielded) cabling systems.

• Augmented Cat6a UTP systems, such as those with cable diameter design enhancements that increase cable-to-cable separation.

● Do not loop excess cable.

● Do not comb or pinstripe cables in the first 20m.

● Separate path and equipment cords in the first 20m.

● Avoid tie-wraps.

● Use horizontal wire management techniques, such as routing odd ports to upper management and

even ports to lower management.

● Loosely place cables in vertical wire management.

● Reduce maximum conduit fill density to 40%.

● Avoid routing or bundling the CATx cable close to any high noise source cable; for example, the

power cable of a fluorescent lamp, the power line of an air conditioner or a wifi access router

● Avoid routing the CATx cable close to high noise source equipment such as fluorescent lamps, air conditioners or wifi access points.

Audio and Content Integration

The following sections describe how to connect equipment to RealPresence Group Series systems to enable audio and content sharing capabilities.

Connect a Polycom RealPresence Group Microphone to a Polycom RealPresence Group System

You can connect a Polycom RealPresence Group Series microphone to a Polycom RealPresence Group system using the RealPresence Group Microphone Array Walta-Walta Cable.

Caution: Be very careful to plug in the microphone array with the correct plug orientation. If while plugging in the connector you feel undue pressure or that you need to “force” the cable for it to connect, the cable is likely being inserted in an incorrect manner. This is a serious issue because an improper connection causes the current to flow in a reverse polarity manner leading to high current that can result in severe damage to the RealPresence Group system. For the correct cable orientation, refer to the graphics below and the setup sheet that shipped with your system.

When connecting a Polycom RealPresence Group Series microphone to a Polycom RealPresence Group Series system, ensure that the cable is inserted correctly. When connecting the cable to a microphone, the

icon must be facing up. When connecting the cable to a RealPresence Group Series system or

Polycom SoundStation IP 7000 phone, the icon must be facing up.

Polycom RealPresence Digital Breakout, Codec Adapter

The Polycom RealPresence Digital Breakout, Codec adapter allows the input of HDMI and Serial for control into an HDCI input on RealPresence Group Series codecs. You can also use this adapter with the Polycom

RealPresence Digital Breakout, Camera to extend the distance between an EagleEye IV camera or an EagleEye Producer and a RealPresence Group Series codec.

Recommendations for Use

● Use with HDCI Polycom EagleEye IV camera cable. Either 2457-64356-001 (3 m), 2457-64365-100

(1m), or 2457-64356-018 (457 mm).

● Use with certified HDMI compliant cable.

● Use with certified EIA/TIA-RS-232 cable. Use straight-through type, not crossover.

● Do not hot plug the serial cable. Disconnecting or connecting the RS-232 cable during operation may

cause unexpected system behavior. If this happens, cycle the power to the codec or camera to eliminate this issue.

● Polycom tested with cables less than 3 meters in a normal environment. The maximum cable length possible depends on the signal quality of the HDMI and serial signals at the output of the Digital Breakout Adapter (DBA) and associated cables, if the mating device has an equalizer, and the electrical noise in the installed environment. To ensure proper operation with all devices, the HDMI and EIA/TIA-RS-232 specs should be met at the input to all mating devices.

● The following HDMI features are not provided: DDC for EDID support, HDCP, and CEC.

● Without EDID support, digital (HDMI) sources connected to the system must have a mechanism for

bypassing EDID detection, for setting up the video resolution manually, or using a fixed video resolution. Refer to the Video Format Resolutions table below for supported resolutions.

● The signal quality is dependent on the quality of the HDMI and serial signals at the output of the DBA and associated cables, if the mating device has an equalizer, and the electrical noise in the installed environment. To ensure proper operation with all devices, the HDMI and EIA/TIA-RS-232 specs should be met at the input to all mating devices.

Polycom RealPresence Digital Breakout, Camera Adapter

This breakout adapter allows Polycom EagleEye IV and Polycom EagleEye Acoustic cameras to be broken out into HDMI and Serial (DB9) signals. You can also use this adapter with the Polycom RealPresence Digital Breakout, Codec adapter to extend the distance between an EagleEye IV camera or EagleEye

Producer and a Group Series codec.

Recommendations for Use

● Use the supplied Polycom power supply (part number 1465-52748-040).

● Verify the polarity of the power supply as shown on the DBA next to the power supply input.

● Use with HDCI Polycom EagleEye IV Camera Cable. Either 2457-64356-001 (3m); 2457-64356-100

(1m); or 2457-64356-018 (457mm).

● Use with certified HDMI compliant cable.

● Use with certified EIA/TIA-RS-232 cable. Use straight-through type, not crossover.

● Do not hot plug the serial cable. Disconnecting or connecting the RS-232 cable during operation may

cause unexpected system behavior. If this happens, cycle the power to the codec or camera to eliminate this issue.

● The signal quality is dependent on the quality of the HDMI and serial signals at the output of the DBA and associated cables; if the mating device has an equalizer; and the electrical noise in the installed environment. To ensure proper operation with all devices, the HDMI and EIA/TIA-RS-232 specs should be met at the input to all mating devices.

● The EagleEye Acoustic camera’s audio is not supported when it is connected to the adapter.

● To successfully upgrade the software of a connected device (e.g., EagleEye IV camera, EagleEye

Producer, EagleEye Digital Extender), the breakout adapter must be used in pairs: one for the camera and another for the codec connected via HDMI and DB9. Otherwise, you have to connect the device directly to the codec. This includes if you are connecting a camera and codec to a switcher.

● Only the breakout camera adapter is needed if you want to connect a camera to an HDMI input on the codec.

RealPresence Group Microphone Array Walta-Walta Cable

This cable connects two RealPresence Group microphone arrays. This cable can also be used to connect a RealPresence Group system to a RealPresence Group microphone array or to a SoundStation IP 7000 phone. When attaching a system to a device, this cable cannot be used to chain additional devices to the first device. This cable is male Walta to male Walta. Polycom recommends using cable 2457-23216-002 when connecting to a RealPresence Group Series system

Caution: Be very careful to plug in the microphone array with the correct plug orientation. If while plugging in the connector you feel undue pressure or that you need to “force” the cable for it to connect, the cable is likely being inserted in an incorrect manner. This is a serious issue because an improper connection causes the current to flow in a reverse polarity manner leading to high current that can result in severe damage to the RealPresence Group system. For the correct cable orientation, refer to the graphics below and the setup sheet that shipped with your system.

Custom Cabling for Polycom Microphone Arrays

You can create custom-length cables for connecting a RealPresence Group Series system to a Polycom Microphone Array or SoundStation IP 7000 phone.

Start with the microphone cable (part number 2457-23216-002) and cut off the P1 end. Using the following wiring tables, create a custom cable from the microphone to a wall plate or other interfacing device. From there, run a shielded CAT5 or better cable to the RealPresence Group Series system, terminating with a shielded RJ-45 plug connector.

The length from the RealPresence Group Series system to the first Polycom Microphone Array or SoundStation IP 7000 phone can be between 18 in. and 100 ft. (a RealPresence Group Series 700 system allows two such connections). Polycom recommends you use shielded CAT5e cables for lengths greater than 25 ft.

The maximum length between subsequent microphone arrays is 25 ft.

Note: When creating custom cables, make sure what you’re using meets local building regulations.

The following diagram shows an example of longer custom cabling from a RealPresence Group Series system to a Polycom Microphone Array or SoundStation IP 7000 Phone.

Wire a Custom Cable

The following steps explain how to wire this custom cable configuration.

Note: Refer to Connect a Polycom RealPresence Group Microphone to a Polycom

RealPresence Group System for instructions on how to use the icons on the

RealPresence Microphone Array Cable to ensure the cable is connected correctly.

1 Identify the P1 connector on the Polycom RealPresence microphone cable according to the location

of the brown heat-shrink tubing as shown on the RealPresence Group Microphone Array

Walta-Walta Cable. Remove the P1 connector and skip to step 4. Note that two separate vendors

manufacture these cables, which are electrically equivalent but have different color coding. If you cannot identify the P1 connector, remove either connector from the cable and continue with step 2.

The following tables show the color coding for the cable wiring.

2 If you are not sure which connector you need to cut off, use the following tables to perform a

continuity check between the connector and the cable colors. If you cut off P1, skip to step 4. If you cut off P2, continue with step 3.

3 If you cut off P2, re-terminate the cable with a shielded RJ-45 connector using the following tables,

then skip to step 5.

continue with step 5.

5 Whether you re-terminated the P1 or P2 end of the cable, at this point the cable can be connected

directly to the system and to the first microphone. If it is necessary to install an extension to the system’s microphone array cable connection on a wall plate or panel, create a custom pinout cable using shielded CAT5 cable. The cable is terminated on one end to either a shielded CAT5 keystone jack or, if using a shielded panel coupler, a shielded RJ-45 plug connector. The other end terminates to a Walta connector that connects to the RealPresence Group system.
