Setting Up the Room for Polycom People On Content™

For the best results, follow these guidelines for setting up Polycom People On
Polycom, Inc. 1–3
Content™:
Use the Polycom EagleEye™ HD camera with Polycom HDX 9000 series and Polycom HDX 8000 series systems. Polycom recommends using a Polycom EagleEye HD or Polycom EagleEye HD 1080 camera with People on Content. If you are using a Polycom EagleEye 1080 or Polycom EagleEye View camera, activating People on Content automatically reduces the resolution to 720p.
Create a flat, consistent background color using a screen or matte-finish paint in green or blue. Make sure the background does not have shadows or glare.

Make sure that the background and the presenter are well lit. For example, use a minimum of two 250 W halogen lights on the background and one on the presenter.
Experiment with different room and lighting arrangements until the best results are achieved.
You can find more information about configuring and using People On Content in the User’s Guide for Polycom HDX Systems and in the Knowledge Base on the Polycom web site.

Integrator’s Reference Manual for Polycom HDX Systems
When connecting two Polycom HDX microphone host devices, a cross-over cable is required. To build a custom cross-over cable for this purpose, you should use shielded CAT5 or better cable. Each end of the custom cable should have a shielded RJ-45 plug connector that connects to a Polycom HDX microphone host device. The maximum supported cable length is 100 feet.
Due to differing use of the twisted pairs within the cable, the pinout for this custom CAT5 cross-over cable is not the same as the pinout that is used for standard Ethernet cables. Do not use standard Ethernet cables. Instead, for best cable performance, refer to the following pinout information to create this custom CAT5 cross-over cable.

Custom Cabling for Polycom HDX Microphones

You can create a custom-length cable from the Polycom HDX 9000 Series system to the Polycom HDX microphone. Start with the microphone cable (2457-23216-001), and cut off the P1 end. Using the wiring tables shown, create a custom cable from the microphone to a wall plate or other interfacing device. Next, from the wall plate or other interfacing device, run shielded CAT5 or better cable to the Polycom HDX system, terminating with a shielded RJ-45 plug connector.
The total length from the Polycom HDX system to the first Polycom microphone can vary between 18 in and 100 ft. The maximum length between subsequent microphones is 25 ft.
The following diagram shows an example of longer custom cabling from a Polycom HDX system to a Polycom microphone or a Polycom SoundStation IP 7000 Phone.
.
2–46 Polycom, Inc.
The following steps explain how to wire this custom cable configuration.
1 Identify the P1 connector on the Polycom HDX microphone cable
according to the location of the brown heat-shrink tubing as shown on page Polycom HDX Microphone Array Cable on page 2-43 . 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.

Serial Cables

Straight-Through Serial Cable

This cable connects a Polycom HDX system to a serial device. It has a DB-9 connector on each end. The maximum approved length for this cable is 100 ft (30 m).
Polycom does not recommend using this straight-through serial cable for RS-232 communication from a computer, Crestron system, or AMX device. Instead, for RS-232 communication, Polycom recommends using a cross-over cable with pin 2 wired to pin 3, pin 3 wired to pin 2, and pin 5 wired to pin 5. The other pins are not used.
If you choose to use this straight-through serial cable for RS-232 communication from a computer or Crestron system, the null modem adapter 1517-61577-001 on page Null Modem Adapter on page 2-56 is required. However, the null modem adapter does not work for RS-232 communication from AMX devices and will cause problems if you try to use it.

Using the API

The Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of commands for advanced users who want to automate a Polycom HDX system. You can use the API by connecting a control system or computer RS-232 serial port to the Polycom HDX system. Or, you can use Telnet over the LAN to use the API.

Using the API with an RS-232 Interface

If you use an RS-232 interface to send API commands, you must connect and configure the control system or computer and the Polycom HDX system for serial communication.

Configuring the RS-232 Interface

If you use the API with a serial connection, make sure that the RS-232 interfaces of the Polycom HDX system and your computer are configured appropriately.
To access the RS-232 settings on your system, select System > Admin Settings > General Settings > Serial Port.

In Control Mode, a device (for example, a computer) connected to the RS-232 port can control the system using the API.
In Pass-Thru Mode, the operational modes of both devices’ RS-232 ports depend on the port configuration of each device.

Starting an API Session via an RS-232 Interface

After you have verified that the Polycom HDX system and your computer or control system are both configured appropriately, set up both devices as follows:
1 Power off the computer or control system and the Polycom HDX system.
2 Use an RS-232 cable to connect the computer or control system RS-232
port to an RS-232 port on the Polycom HDX system as shown in the following illustration. This connection may require the Null Modem
