Overview

Visual Concert™ FX is a peripheral device that is designed with
ultimate ease of use in mind, and allows unprecedented
collaborative capability with the ViewStation™ FX and VS4000
videoconferencing systems.
Visual Concert FX transmits live output in real time from the
presenter's computer without the need for a supporting application
running on the presenter's computer. This allows the presenter to
transmit live images and sound from any application that can run on
the desktop (such as PowerPoint, Excel, a Web page, or proprietary
software applications) regardless of the computer's operating
system.
The Visual Concert FX unit acts as a tabletop communications hub.
This allows a presenter to connect the computer to the Visual
Concert FX unit using the special VGA/Audio/Ethernet cable, and
immediately enjoy full network connectivity and full audio and video
transmit capability, whether the presenter is in a conference or not.
The Visual Concert FX VGA output port allows the presenter to
connect a high-resolution projection system or VGA monitor for
in-room displays. When in a conference, the Visual Concert FX unit's
dual stream capabilities allow display of video and graphic images
at the near and far sites, video on one monitor, and the live graphics
on a second monitor or projector.
Visual Concert FX supports input resolutions of up to SXGA
resolutions up to 1280 x 1024, and will auto-sync with your
conferencing system to provide the optimum output resolution. The
maximum ouput resolution is XGA (1024 x 768).
Visual Concert FX is designed to work with both the ViewStation FX
and the VS4000 conferencing systems. For the sake of brevity,
"ViewStation FX" is used throughout the manual to indicate
functionality for both systems. Visual Concert FX is designed for the
tabletop, but can be mounted on a wall, under a conference table, or
inside a podium.
