Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Visual Concert™ DC. The Visual Concert DC lets you send high-quality, high-resolution pictures from Polycom ViewStation, ViewStation SP, ViewStation FX, and VS4000 models. The images are displayed on the television monitor and any connected XGA or SXGA [(S)XGA] device at the near site. You can focus and adjust the image and then send it to the far sites for viewing.

The ViewStation and ViewStation SP models support high-resolution images of 704 x 576 (ANNEX D). The ViewStation FX and VS4000 support higher resolution images of 1280 x 1024.

Visual Concert DC features include:

• High-resolution images The 1,300,000 pixel CCD camera captures images and separates them into red, green, and blue (RGB) signals for output. This provides better and more detailed images, which make fine characters more legible than conventional document cameras.

• Easy network connection. An Ethernet interface (10Base-T) lets you connect the Visual Concert DC to either the Internet or a local area network (LAN).

• Full-sized input of U.S. letter-sized sheets. You can easily display a U.S. letter-sized sheet of paper (8 &1/2 by 11 inches) in either a vertical or horizontal position.

• Ability to write images to and read images from a PCMCIA card. You can display an image on the Visual Concert DC and store that image in a JPEG or bitmap (BMP) file on a PCMCIA card. You can also display images that are stored in JPEG or bitmap (BMP) files on a PCMCIA card.

• Image transmission. The Visual Concert DC captures 15 frames per second when transmitting images.

• Variety of features for high quality images and easy video presentations.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Features include white balance, auto focus, color compensation, gamma compensation, image inversion, and an electronic zoom up to 4X. In combination with the optical 6X zoom, you can obtain a maximum of 24X zoom.

• Display of transparent and opaque materials. The Visual Concert DC lighting supports the capture of images from both transparent and opaque originals.

• Easy, menu-based mouse operation. You have easy, mouse-based access to the Visual Concert DC menu. From the menu, you select the features to use. The menu is displayed on the ViewStation’s television monitor.

• Use of NTSC or PAL on the ViewStation’s television monitor.

Ways to Use the Visual Concert DC

The Visual Concert DC is a high-quality, high-resolution document camera that you can use in numerous ways. This section highlights some of the different ways you can use the Visual Concert DC either stand-alone, with a ViewStation or ViewStation SP, or with a ViewStation FX or VS4000.

Use the Visual Concert DC as a Stand-alone Device

Although the Visual Concert DC can be used with Polycom ViewStations, you can also use the Visual Concert DC stand-alone for different tasks.

• Conduct a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation both locally and remotely. Save the PowerPoint presentation as a series of JPEG images on a PCMCIA card. Then, use the PCMCIA card in the Visual Concert DC PC card slot to locally display the presentation on a projector that is attached to the Visual Concert DC. The presentation can also be viewed both locally and remotely using the Visual Concert DC web interface. The presentation is composed as snapshots, not live images.

• Save images to and retrieve images from a PCMCIA card. You can store image files on a PCMCIA card and display them on the Visual Concert DC. You can also save an image in a file on a PCMCIA card. You can then take the PCMCIA card to a notebook or desktop computer and save the file on the hard drive. You can place the image file in a PowerPoint presentation or document, or on a web page.

Visual Co ncert DC User Guide 2 www.polycom.com

Chapter 1 Introduction

• Present high-resolution images locally. For example, you can connect a:

– Projector, and display the Visual Concert DC images on a

wall

– (S)XGA monitor, and view the images on the monitor.

The Visual Concert DC offers the following connection options:

Good: Composite output Better: S-video connection Best: RGB connector

• Conduct a Visual Concert DC web conference. Using the Visual Concer t DC web interface, you can conduct a web conference by having participants join an audio conference. You can have up to 12 conference participants enter the IP address of the Visual Concert DC in their web browser to view the Visual Concert DC presentation in their browser window. For example, a product manager might be on a telephone (audio) call talking to an industrial design company, which is designing a prototype. The design company could use the Visual Concert DC to display the prototype and discuss it. The product manager could view the prototype using the web interface and decide whether changes had to be made. The high-resolution image lets you clearly see the details of the image. The prototype can be moved around in order to see different angles. Because the Visual Concert DC provides such a high-quality, high-resolution image, you can view a variety of items, including:

• 3-dimensional objects

• X-ray film

• Circuit boards

• Graphics

• Documents.

If you view the image through the Visual Concer t DC web interface, you can save an image file of the displayed image to your personal computer as a JPEG or bitmap (BMP). It is possible to capture 1280 x 960 images on the PC from the Visual Concert DC web interface.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Use the Visual Concert DC with a ViewStation

You can use the Visual Concert DC with any ViewStation model. On ViewStation and ViewStation SP models, the ViewStation supports high-resolution images at four times a full CIF resolution, which is 704 x 576 (ANNEX D).

Video Conference: Using the Visual Concert DC while in a video

conference lets you display multiple images of an object, including 3-dimensional objects, circuit boards, and prototypes. You can easily move the object and show its different sides and angles. For documents such as specifications or blueprints, you can easily highlight sizes and dimensions and discuss any changes.

Web Interface: Attach the Visual Concert DC to the

ViewStation using an IP connection. Press the PREVIEW/SNAPSHOT button on the front of the Visual Concert DC once to preview the image before sending it out. Press the button again to send the image to the web interface.

Up to twelve people can log into the Visual Concert DC web interface and view the images.

Pen Tools: The Visual Concert DC provides Pen tools that

let you easily draw lines on the image you are displaying. For example, you can circle and point out areas on an X-ray for discussion. You can mark up and change sales brochures and cards you are writing. And you can highlight areas of a circuit board while explaining how to disassemble and assemble the board to a technician in the field. For more information, see “Draw on the Visual Concert DC Screen” on page 83.

In addition to using the Pen tools, you can place a piece of transparent film on top of the Visual Concer t DC glass and then draw directly on that.

settings

• Menu on - lets you choose between displaying the television monitor menu (TV) or the (S)XGA device menu (SXGA).

Visual Co ncert DC User Guide 8 www.polycom.com

Chapter 1 Introduction

Note Although the Video out and Menu on items are not on the

(S)XGA device menu, you can change the settings using the (S)XGA device. To change the settings, select Setup on the (S)XGA menu. The Power On Settings screen is displayed. Make your changes on the screen, click Save, and then click Exit.

The (S)XGA menu has a Setup icon that is not available on the television monitor menu. Setup lets you access three screens:

• Power On Settings

• Network Settings

• Additional Settings.

These three screens are described in more detail in the following sections.

If a specific setting is available on both the television monitor menu and (S)XGA device menu, and you change the setting from one menu, the change is reflected on the other menu also.

Note When you set up the Visual Concert DC, it is recommended

that you use the menu on the television monitor, regardless of whether you have an (S)XGA device connected. You can use the menu on the (S)XGA device at any other time to change various settings, such as light settings, gain, white balance, color, and so on.

Power On Settings Screen

The Power On Settings screen lets you define the values for many options, such as the lights setting, gain, and white balance, and then save the settings as defaults for the next power on. You can also define and save the same values using the television monitor menu, except for the JPEG quality setting.

To set the JPEG quality, you must use the Power On Settings screen. Access the screen using the Setup icon on the (S)XGA device menu. The JPEG quality values can be:

• Normal (1/8), which is the default

• Fine (1/4).

Chapter 1 Introduction

To adjust the JPEG quality for video communications, you must connect an (S)XGA device to the Visual Concert DC.

Network Settings Screen

The Network Settings screen lets you define various network properties, including TCP, ViewStation, and web properties. You can also define most of the same values using the television monitor menu. The exceptions are the following check boxes on the Network Settings screen:

• Enable Network

• Read Only (FTP, WEB: disable Write/Control)

• Enable FTP Client.

To change any of these three settings, you must connect an (S)XGA device to the Visual Concert DC. If you do not attach an (S)XGA device, the Visual Concert DC uses the default settings for these check boxes.

Additional Settings Screen

The Additional Settings screen lets you change the following settings:

• Date and time

• Power save timer

• Slide interval timer

• File type and size

• Popup 3rd button.

To change any of these settings, you must connect an (S)XGA device to the Visual Concert DC.

Usually, you do not need to change these additional settings. The settings are mainly used if you are using an RS-232C connection and a console. In this environment, you would have an (S)XGA device connected to the Visual Concert DC.
