Introducing the Polycom OTX 300 Software Version 2.7.1/Hardware Revision
A Release
Polycom is pleased to announce the release of the Polycom OTX 300, software version
2.7.1/hardware revision A.
The OTX 300 offers stunning HD video quality for up to 50% less bandwidth using Polycom’s H.264
High Profile compression technology. By providing an exceptional, across-the-table experience and
an open collaboration environment, the Polycom OTX immersive telepresence solution will power
your teams, customers, and partners to work more effectively across distances.
Polycom OTX 300 Software Version 2.7.1/Hardware Revision A Features
OTX 300 software version 2.7.1 is a maintenance release for OTX 300 software version 2.7, which
provides the following functionality:
Experience broader global appeal and a more consistent meeting experience with the fresh look
and feel of the OTX room. Add the optional Complete Experience Kit, which includes the rear
wall and lighting, to enhance your telepresence experience with a finished look and bold lighting.
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%.
Simply and easily view a list of scheduled meetings and join those meetings using the Polycom
Conferencing for Microsoft® Outlook® feature.
Experience striking 1080p video resolution with Polycom EagleEye™ II 1080p cameras. Their
sharp focus and clear, crisp, natural colors provide the ultimate HD images.
Display clear video on the large 21.5-inch high definition tabletop content monitors that rise
automatically on motorized lifts when content is available for viewing. When not in use, they
retract for expanded tabletop usability.
Display the highest quality video possible on the large 65-inch LCD displays. The Polycom HDX
codecs support 1080p at 30 fps and 720p at 60 fps.
View either the Enhanced or the Classic user interface on the tabletop Touch Panel:
o The Enhanced UI provides access to advanced functions, such as Meeting Composer, which
enables you to select multiple sites and then touch one button to initiate the call. This
interface also allows you to browse both Local and Global directories for sites to call.
o The Classic UI provides continuity for users who are comfortable with the original
Immersive Telepresence interface.
Browse and search the local or the Polycom Converged Management Application™ (CMA™)
directories for telepresence suites and other sites.
Create multisite directory entries to streamline calls to a predefined group of sites.
Information on the configuration of these and other OTX features is provided in the Polycom Immersive
