room. The Polycom VSX 3000 helps off-site professionals such as regional sales representatives communicate
easily with the home office. Consultants are able to stay in touch with corporate headquarters for training,
meetings or face-to-face contact without the investment or space required for a group video conferencing
system, or the continuous cost of travel.

Polycom Siren 14 and Polycom StereoSurround. PC based content can be added to a VSX 3000 conference
call cable-free by using the People+Content IP software option. You can also add a document camera or
VCR/DVD to display pictures or movie files during a conference. And no matter what kind of content is sent,
the conference participants can see both the presenter and the content simultaneously with Polycom Dual
Monitor Emulation.
