Introducing the Polycom ATX SDK Version 2.0 and ATX 300 Version 2.7

With either version of the Polycom ATX, Polycom’s AV integration partners can create customized immersive telepresence suites using Polycom HDX 8000™ codecs, EagleEye™ II HD cameras, and HDX Ceiling Microphone Arrays along with displays, table, and chairs provided by the integrator or client.

 The ATX SDK enables AV integrators to add more value to ATX 200, ATX 300, and ATX 400-

based solutions by allowing the integrators to support the unique requirements of their

customers. The ATX SDK version works in conjunction with special control panel code (provided

by the control panel vendor), enabling AV integrators to customize the Touch Panel user

interface to the specific needs of their customers.

 The ATX 300 version 2.7 provides a user interface with the same feature set as the standard

Polycom Immersive Telepresence software, including the Touch Panel with Enhanced user

interface capabilities. Integration partners may also implement the Classic user interface, which

maintains the look and feel of the ATX 300 version 2.0 user interface, but does not include the

new version 2.7 features. Note that a 10-inch Touch Panel is required for the Enhanced user

interface.

What’s New in ATX SDK Version 2.0 and ATX 300 Version 2.7?

ATX SDK version 2.0 and ATX 300 version 2.7 provide the following functionality:

 For ATX SDK only: You can now run the ATX SDK version 2.0 on the new ATX 200 hardware

platform (which uses two displays), the ATX 400 hardware platform (which uses four displays),

or on the traditional ATX 300 hardware platform (which uses three displays).

 Optimize bandwidth with 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.

H.264 High Profile is supported only on ATX systems with HDX 8000 series codecs.

 Experience striking 1080p video resolution with the new Polycom EagleEye II 1080p cameras.

Their sharp focus and clear, crisp, natural colors provide the ultimate HD images. The EagleEye

II HD camera has a 72 degree wide viewing angle. When zoomed out all the way, a portion of

person 1 and a portion of person 6 along with persons 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be visible onscreen, as

shown in the following illustration.

For more information about the EagleEye II HD cameras, refer to http://www.polycom.com/

products/telepresence_video/accessories/hdx_accessories/eagleeye_hd_camera.html

 Simply and easily view a list of scheduled meetings and join those meetings using the Polycom

Conferencing for Microsoft® Outlook® feature.

 Launch a multipoint meeting from the Touch Panel using the Meeting Composer feature:

o Select sites and call dynamically. o Add or remove conference participants on the fly. o Automatically escalate a conference from point-to-point to multipoint.

 Browse and search the local or the Polycom Converged Management Application™ (CMA™)

directories for telepresence suites and other sites.

Information on the configuration of these and other ATX features is provided in the Polycom

Immersive Telepresence (ITP) Administrator’s Guide.
