Using Dual Monitor Emulation - Polycom VSX Series Administrator's Manual

Using Dual Monitor Emulation

Dual Monitor Emulation is designed for rooms or offices with one monitor only. Users see
both near and far sites on one monitor in two different views. During presentations, users
see content and the near and far sites. What you see during a call can depend on factors
such as the VSX system monitor configuration, the number of sites in the call, and
whether content is being shared.
Setting Up
Using the monitor controls, select the full-screen setting that stretches the picture
uniformly, without clipping. On the VSX system Monitors screen:
1. If you are using a wide-screen monitor, set Monitor 1 to 16:9.
Otherwise, set Monitor 1 to 4:3.
2. Set Monitor 2 to Off to show near and far video on Monitor 1.
3. Select Dual Monitor Emulation.
