camera is associated with this port.
You can configure a VSX 7000e or VSX 8000 with a Polycom PowerCam Plus
to track to the speaker's voice or to camera presets. During a call, users can
press Auto on the remote control to toggle between Automatic Camera
Tracking, Automatic Camera Tracking to Presets, and Automatic Camera
Tracking Off.
When Automatic Camera Tracking to Presets is enabled and no one speaks for
30 seconds, the camera automatically moves to preset 0. When Automatic
Camera Tracking is enabled and no one speaks for 30 seconds, the camera
automatically moves to a position to include all of the people who have
spoken.
If the camera consistently moves too far in one direction when tracking is
enabled, follow the instructions on the Camera Calibration screen to calibrate
the camera for better tracking.
