T o display the on-screen VSX controls, touch the top left
corner of the whiteboard while you are viewing VSX

Annotating Content

You can use the electronic pens to write or draw on shared
Windows desktop or on video from any source other than
your main camera.

• The Windows desktop is shared with all sites as soon
as you pick up a pen. If no computer is attached, the
whiteboard is shared with all sites.

• All sites can see your Windows desktop and
annotations.

• You can use the eraser to remove your annotations.

• The pen or eraser you pick up last is active.

Tips for Using Instructor RP

• To start or stop sharing the Windows desktop during a
call, press the right mouse button.

• When you annotate, leave unused pens and the
eraser in the tray.

• If annotations are slow or fuzzy when you view the
Windows desktop along with the video conference, try
viewing the Windows desktop only.

• If the screen is blank and the lamp standby indicator
blinks slowly, press to activate the system.

• To save your lamp bulb, press at the end of your
call to put the system in standby mode.

• If your annotations do not align correctly, pick up a pen
and press the keyboard button. Then, touch the pen to
the cross-hairs on the screen to calibrate the system.

• For help when you share the Windows desktop, click

system, go to www.polycom.com/videodocumentation
