• VGA (640x480) Resolution Support - Polycom PVX 8.0.0 supports sending
and receiving video at VGA and half-VGA resolutions. This can be
enabled on systems with higher speed CPUs and USB 2.0 cameras.
• Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Support - Point-to-point SIP calling, direct
dialed or through a Nortel™ MCS or Microsoft® LCS 2005 (SP1) proxy
server, is supported.
• Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) Support - Polycom PVX 8.0.0 supports
secure firewall traversal calls using UPnP-enabled home routers.
• Automatic Gain Control - Significant improvements were made to audio
input levels. A new automatic gain control was added that adjusts
microphone input to minimize echo reflected back to the far site. It also
adjusts the audio level into a conference to improve the volume match
with other endpoints connected to an MCU.
• H.239 Standards Based People+Content - Polycom PVX has full support
for H.239 standards based People+Content.
• Improved Calling with People+Content - The frame rate for people video
is no longer affected by enabling People+Content. At the point that
content is sent or received, Polycom PVX adjusts to leave more CPU cycles
for content video.
• Asymmetric Call Support - Polycom PVX 8.0.0 supports calls with ADSL
or cable modems with asymmetric bandwidth for upload and download.
• Network Adapter Management - Polycom PVX 8.0.0 offers more flexibility
in controlling which network adapter is used for video calls. The Network
setup page was streamlined to make configuration easier.
• Global Directory Server (GDS) ISDN Dialing Enhancement - Endpoints
listed in a directory with both an ISDN number and an ISDN extension
will be dialed by appending the extension to the number separated by a
delimiter of ##.
• Recent Calls List - The list includes incoming calls that were not answered.
• New Security Features - New security setup options allow users to:
— Restrict SIP setup page access.
— Lock user settings and prevent factory default settings from being
restored inadvertently.
— Disable location profile settings.
