A compact and economical
solution for small to medium-sized conference rooms.
Ideal for smaller conference spaces, the new entry-level Polycom VSX 5000 set-top system delivers
market-leading video and audio quality at an affordable price. A real space-saver, it sits conveniently on top
of TVs, high-resolution plasma screens, or LCD displays. You can easily add a peripheral (document camera,
or VCR/DVD), dual monitors, and audio-only callers through ISDN or the SoundStation VTX 1000®. In fact
the VSX 5000 gives you multiple ways of dialing conference attendees and delivering various types of
content (for example, pictures, presentations, audio files). Connection options include IP (H.323 and SIP)
and ISDN dialing, so you can utilize the VSX 5000 in a variety of conference environments.
The VSX 5000 is also well-suited for educational resource rooms where smaller groups of students meet
with a remote educational specialist, and remote medical clinics that deliver specialist care to patients
hundreds of kilometers from home.
The VSX 5000 includes features and benefits such as a user interface in 15 languages, multiple ways to
add content, and dual monitor emulation for single display solutions. Choose either a VGA display or a
TV as your main display, whichever suits your conferencing environment. The ISDN option enables you to
add ISDN conferencing capability as well, and the dual monitor option allows you to show people in one
display and shared content in the other display.
Add simplicity and reduce conference table clutter by taking advantage of the Polycom SoundStation VTX
1000 integration with the VSX 5000. This integration gives users the ability to dial, hang up and mute a
video conference right from the conference phone. Since the SoundStation VTX 1000 acts as the stereo
microphone as well as a standalone conference phone, there is no need for any other microphone on
the table. Plus, dedicated stereo audio outputs enable easy implementation of Polycom's StereoSurround™
technology, which separates multiple voices with conversational stereo.
In today's Internet driven world, the ability to conduct real time communication and collaboration has
become critical to an organization's survival. As the market leader in voice, video, data and Web solutions,
our award-winning conference technology makes it easy for people to interact and maximize productivity –
over any network, in numerous environments, anywhere around the globe. That's why more organizations
worldwide prefer using Polycom conferencing solutions. Because when people work together, great things
happen. To learn more, please visit the Polycom Experience Center at www.polycom.com/experience
