Outstanding video – Premium quality

Employs standard-based H.264 compres­sion and Pro-Motion™ video for optimal
viewing

Multimedia made easy – Show high-res
images or presentations in your meetings
while also sharing video. And, you can
share PC content cable-free using Polycom’s
unique People+Content™ IP technology

Simplified dialing and enhanced
performance – Integrate the SoundStation

VTX 1000 to launch video calls, capture soft
voices clearly from across the entire room
in StereoSurround and eliminate the need
for microphones and wires

Network friendly – Features include
video and audio error concealment, UPnP,
NAT, Closed Captioning support and
embedded encryption

Compact, set-top video conferencing
system with built-in IP connectivity, ideal
for small group applications.

The Polycom VSX 6000 offers all of the features you'd expect in a high-end group video system with all the
key features, but with a smaller footprint. Designed for organizations with an IP network infrastructure, the
VSX 6000 is well-suited for small group video conferencing with a high-quality pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera
and advanced data sharing capabilities.

Because video quality is important for productive communications, the VSX 6000's integrated PTZ camera
allows users to easily manipulate the camera with the remote control to capture the audience, on both the far
and near end of the call. The system is smart enough to determine the best video quality for the call, automati­cally choosing H.264 by default, or auto switching to H.263 if necessary. Either way, users are assured of the
best quality video experience.

Each VSX 6000 product ships with an integrated mid-range speaker that includes 14 kHz audio with crisp, clear
Polycom Siren™ 14 audio, eliminating the need to rely on mediocre television speakers. Add an auxiliary Stereo
Speaker Kit and experience conversational stereo with Polycom StereoSurround™. The single digital tabletop
microphone array included with every system accommodates either audio arrangement.

For a truly integrated voice and video experience in a small group setting, a SoundStation VTX 1000
linked to the VSX 6000 and used as the microphone and as the dialing interface. From the conference phone
keypad, users can dial an IP video call and then add a voice-only participant to the conference, all in
wideband audio.

For a complete solution, match the VSX 6000 with any of Polycom's stylish carts and displays, all of which
provide the flexibility of a transportable room system. For environments that have minimal space requirements
Polycom offers a wall mount solution with either single or dual 32" LCD displays.
