The capabilities shown in the VvCapView.exe file are based on the Low camera
driver load setting. To check this setting, see the For the camera you have
selected, specify the camera driver's load on the system field on the Setup >
Video > Advanced page. If your camera driver load setting is set to High or
Medium, the VvCapView.exe file does not reflect this, so you must manually
compensate for the different setting as follows:
• If your camera driver load setting is set to High, subtract 600 MHz from the
speed shown in the Speed field in the VvCapView.exe file. For example, if
the Speed field shows 2000 MHz, subtract 600 MHz from that, for a total of
1400 MHz.
• If your camera driver load setting is set to Medium, subtract 200 MHz from
the speed shown in the Speed field in the VvCapView.exe file. For example,
if the Speed field shows 2000 MHz, subtract 200 MHz from that, for a total
of 1800 MHz.
For more information about the camera driver load, refer to the Selecting Audio
and Video Devices for Use with Polycom PVX document, available at
http://www.polycom.com/common/pw_item_show_doc/1,1276,4556,00.pdf.
PVX enables users to specify different network settings depending upon the
location in which they're using the system. System configurations can be set for
particular locations and the network settings can be saved as a named profile.
