Polycom PRS 2000 Getting Started Guide Getting Started with the Appliance

Audio/Video Inputs and Outputs

The A/V adapter cable is used to connect audio and video input sources to the
PRS appliance and audio output from the appliance. Each cable of the A/V
adapter is labeled. These labels identify the video and audio sources for proper
connection of devices to the appliance.

Connect the A/V adapter cable to the upper slot bracket connector.

VGA (RGB) Input

A cable is used to connect to the VGA output of an additional computer (i.e.
presenter's laptop). The splitter cable separates the analog RGB and digital
DVI interface signals. This separation improves monitor detection.

Connect the VGA input cable to the lower slot bracket connector.

Video Output

The Polycom PRS 2000 video card includes three outputs: one DVI-I output,
one HDMI output, and one VGA output. All of these outputs are live when the
appliance is shipped. Any two of the outputs can be used.

NOTE: The PRS appliance uses an nVidia graphics card. When two video output
devices are in use, the nVidia graphics card must be set to DualView in order to
display the audience view. If it is set to Span, Clone or Single display, the audience
view will not be displayed in the second VGA output device.

The PRS application has a mechanism for swapping the assignment of the devices.
Using the top menu strip item "View- Swap Screens" can trigger this mechanism.
This feature should be used when your operator VGA output device is displaying
the audience view and your audience VGA output device is displaying the Operator
Interface.

8 Polycom, Inc.

Getting Started with the Appliance Polycom PRS 2000 Hardware Install

NOTE: The frame rate of the audience view is 15 fps due to the fact that this is the
output of the RGB source that has been processed. A VGA splitter can be used to
connect the VGA source to the RGB capture card and to the projector to provide the
full frame rate to the audience view.

Audio Monitor/Output

If you want to use headphones, connect them on the front of the PRS
appliance.

Audio Out for Room Sound System

The Audio output of the PRS appliance can be used to connect to the room
sound system or to a PC speaker set. The A/V adapter cable provides a
balanced line-level stereo audio out signal (Audio R Out, Audio L Out) via
XLR connectors. Standard adapter/cables can be used to interface to
unbalanced line-level Audio input of the room sound system or to a PC
speaker set.

Connecting Accessories

The PRS appliance ships with the following accessories:

• USB Optical Mouse

• USB Keyboard

• Audio-Technica Professional Phantom Power Microphone

These devices are shipped in their original packaging, manual and installation
instructions. For more information and installation instructions, please follow
the original manufacturer documentation.

Mouse and Keyboard

Use the USB ports when connecting the mouse and the keyboard to the PRS
appliance.

Polycom, Inc. 9

Polycom PRS 2000 Getting Started Guide Getting Started with the Appliance

Phantom Power Microphone

Use a professional balanced audio cable (XLR male and XLR female) to
connect the microphone to the "Audio 1 IN (MIC)" input of the A/V adapter
cable. It is not necessary to use the microphone with a battery; the PRS
appliance will apply a 48V Phantom Power Supply to the microphone by
default.

Camera

Using Video Cameras

The PRS appliance supports connection of multiple S-Video and composite
video sources. When connecting a camera to the PRS appliance, s-video is
recommended if you have a choice.

When using the S-Video output, connect the camera to the "S-Video 1 IN" or
"S-Video 2 IN" input. When using the composite output, connect the camera to
one of the four video inputs "Video 3 IN" to "Video 6 IN" of the A/V adapter
cable.

Using a PTZ Camera

A PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera is an optional camera accessory for the PRS
appliance. It provides S-Video and composite video outputs. We recommend
using the S-Video output for best video quality.

When using the S-Video output, connect the camera to the "S-Video 1 IN" or
"S-Video 2 IN" input. When using the composite output, connect the camera to
one of the video inputs "Video 3 IN" to "Video 6 IN" of the A/V adapter cable.

The PTZ control feature requires an additional cable connection from the
camera (VISCA IN) to the serial port (COM1) provided by the USB to serial
adapter when connected to the PRS appliance (the drivers for the USB to serial
adapter are preinstalled). Up to 3 PTZ cameras can be controlled over a single
COM port when using a VISCA daisy chain.

The address of each camera is assigned during the VISCA initialization
process. The camera addresses are 1, 2, 3, and so forth in order, starting from
the one nearest the PRS COM port. The VISCA address is used during the PRS

installation setup to identify and address each PTZ camera. Further
information reading the VISCA protocol and the camera installation can be
found in the camera manual.
