Connecting Cameras to Component Systems

All VSX systems allow you to connect a second camera or other video source.
The component systems require that you connect at least one camera so that
your site can send video.
You can connect a document camera to show detailed close-up views of
printed documents or other small items. The VSX 3000 and VSX 3000A
systems provide one composite video input.
Refer to the system setup sheet for information about connecting a document
camera.
VSX 7000 and VSX 7000s systems provide an S-Video input for a second
camera. You can connect a camera to the VCR video input on the VSX 5000,
VSX 6000, or VSX 6000A system. On the VSX 6000 and VSX 6000A systems,
the video input is for a composite video signal. Refer to the release notes for a
list of supported PTZ cameras.
VSX 5000, VSX 6000, and VSX 6000A systems do not provide pan/tilt/zoom
(PTZ) control for a second camera.
You can use the RS-232 serial port on the VSX 7000 or VSX 7000s system for
camera control. Refer to your system's setup sheet for connection details.
If you have a component system, you need to connect a camera to the system
so that people at other sites can see your site. Refer to your system's setup
sheet for connection details.
The component systems provide S-video connections for two cameras. The
VSX 8000 system provides the S-video signal to the main camera through BNC
connectors. Refer to the release notes for a list of supported PTZ cameras.
You can configure a VSX 7000e or VSX 8000 system with a Polycom
PowerCam Plus to track to the speaker's voice or to camera presets.
