Content Display Option

The TPX HD 306M includes an optional feature which, when enabled via software during installation, will allow users to view content on the right main display (if otherwise not in use) in addition to the content displays on the table. The TPX HD 306M will automatically determine if content is able to be displayed on the right main display. There are specific scenarios where this feature would be deployed:

 A point to point call between a TPX HD 306M and a 2-screen/2-camera system  A point to point call between a TPX HD 306M and an HDX or other traditional video conferencing endpoint

Considerations:

 Displaying people will always take precedence over displaying content  This feature is not enabled for multipoint calls or calls where people will be displayed on all three screens

(such as a call with an RPX 400 Series.)

Close Up Option

The TPX HD 306M includes an optional feature, which when enabled via software during installation, allows the user to either zoom the center camera in for a “close up” view of the center two participants or out for the standard “wide shot” view of the participants. There are specific scenarios where this feature would be deployed:

 A point to point call between a TPX HD 306M and an HDX or other traditional video conferencing system

(single display endpoints)

 Any call via an RMX or MGC bridge (including multipoint)

Considerations:

 This feature is not available in point to point calls between a TPX HD 306M and two, three or four screen

Multipoint Conferencing

Standby

In Use

*

The TPX HD telepresence solution provides two methods for viewing participants in a multipoint conference.

Room Continuous Presence: In this standard mode, the multipoint view will automatically be generated either to follow the general principles of Polycom Immersive Telepresence multipoint (all participants are “present” during a multipoint conference) or to fit a custom-set view configured by the conference administrator for the particular combination of sites in the conference.

Voice Activated Room Switching (VARS): VARS is different from the standard Room Continuous Presence mode in that the speaker’s site is the only site seen by others. The view of the speaker’s site is sized to be as large as possible on all of the other participants’ displays. The current speaker sees the previous speaker’s site (i.e., the speaker’s layout remains unchanged). Layouts used in VARS are not customizable.

To implement telepresence multipoint conferencing with Polycom telepresence solutions, the following components are required:
