Here are some tips to achieve the best video in your Polycom RPX suite:
•
The cameras in Polycom RPX suites can capture images up to the end of
each table and are designed for participants that are seated. Therefore, if
you are seated at any of the tables, you are visible onscreen.
•
Do not sit in front of the table seams. If you do, your image will look "split"
to the far-end participants. You can be sure to avoid the seams by sitting
in one of the designated seating locations.
•
In a telepresence conference, all movements, expressions, and gestures are
visible to everyone. As in any meeting, avoid repetitive motions that may
distract other participants, such as tapping your pen or fingers on the
tabletop.
Polycom's superior StereoSurround audio and digital Ceiling Microphone
Arrays are extremely sensitive. They will pick up all sound in the room, even
gentle noises and whispers — and even if you are not in camera range.
Other helpful audio tips you should consider include:
•
When speaking, you do not have to direct your speech to a certain location
or speak louder than normal. Simply speak in your normal tone of voice.
•
As in any meeting, you should refrain from sidebar conversations. These
can be distracting, especially in multipoint meetings where participants at
a number of sites are present.
•
Whenever you are in an RPX suite, remember that the microphones may
be on. If you want to have a private conversation, check if the microphones
are muted.
If your RPX suite is equipped with an optional document camera, you may
find these tips helpful:
•
If your room does not have a whiteboard, you can annotate on a document
that you display using your document camera.
•
When writing on a document, use a black marker or a dark pen so that
your notations show more clearly.
•
If you are right-handed and are planning to use the document camera, sit
at the seat marked in red on the following illustration. Additionally, you
may not want anyone to sit at the seat marked in blue so that you have
more room to use the document camera.
