Configure The Polycom Uc Board; Sharing Content During Calls - Polycom RealPresence Group Series Administrator's Manual

Configure the Polycom UC Board

®
With the Polycom UC Board, you can show and annotate content in real-time from RealPresence Group
Series systems by using the stylus and receiver included with the UC Board hardware. You can use either
a second monitor or a whiteboard and projector. For flat, cold surfaces such as white boards with
projectors, Polycom suggests that you use the Polycom UC Board.
Two monitors are required to use the Polycom UC Board. The second monitor can be either a projector
used with a whiteboard, or a monitor.
Polycom recommends the following installation tips:
• Use LED backlit, LCD displays instead of CFL LCD displays.
• Do not use plasma backlit displays.
• The UC Board hardware sensor and pen are designed for cold surfaces, such as white boards with
projectors.
• Mount the hardware sensor on the top of the display device. Room lights can interfere with the
sensor when it is mounted on the bottom of the display.
The UC Board sensor supports one stylus at a time. It does not support using two styluses
simultaneously.
For more information on setting up and using the UC Board, refer to the Polycom UC Board Quick Start
Guide, available with the UC Board hardware and at
To set up two monitors and configure to show content:
1. To configure monitor 1, in the system web interface, go to Admin Settings > Audio/Video >
Monitors. At Enable, select either Auto or Manual. If you chose Manual, select any of the
available profiles.
2. To configure monitor 2, at Monitor Profile, enable one of the content profiles.
To improve performance, configure your monitor or projector to use Game Mode, if that setting is
available.

Sharing Content During Calls

You can present content during calls when you use sources such as the following:
• A DVD player connected directly to a video input on a system
• People+Content IP installed on a computer, with any system
• A computer connected directly to a system or a Polycom touch device
• A USB drive connected to a Polycom touch device, such as the RealPresence Touch
RealPresence Group Series systems achieve maximum content frame rate of 30 fps for 1080p with a
1080p Resolution option key installed, and 60 fps for 720p. If you use Content as the Quality
Preference in your network IP settings, you can achieve a content frame rate of 60 fps for 1080p with the
1080p Resolution option key installed.
