Question 2
Are there windows in the room? If so, what percent of the room has windows?
What are the dimensions of the windows?
Anything Else?
Here's Why We're Asking:
Less than 20% of the room should have windows or other vertical glass walls. Because natural light always varies, it
can affect the quality of the video. Windows also create audio reverberation. If the room you selected does have
windows, see Question 3.
Question 3
If the room has windows, are there curtains or blinds on the windows?
Anything Else?
Here's Why We're Asking:
Polycom highly recommends adding acoustical window treatments to windows, especially in rooms with more than
20% windows or other glass walls. Blackout curtains or blinds that block out the natural light and that match the
color of the walls within the camera view are preferable.
Question 4
Does the room have HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning)?
Anything Else?
Here's Why We're Asking:
The room where the ATX is located requires an HVAC system. Keep in mind, however, that HVAC can introduce
noise into the environment that will be picked up by the Ceiling Microphone Arrays. Polycom typically recommends
at least a 4' (1.22 m) distance between the HVAC and the Ceiling Microphone Arrays; however, your room may
require a greater distance depending on the noise level of your particular HVAC (see Question 14 for more
information).
Polycom also recommends installing an independently controlled thermostat in the room. The operating
temperature for the equipment in the room should be within 41° to 86° F (5° to 30 C°).
