Following is a brief description of our InstantDesigner setup wizard for the Vortex products. For more comprehensive information,
see the application note on InstantDesigner.
Polycom Error! Bookmark not defined. release 2.0 encapsulates the design expertise of the Vortex engineering team and the
experience of thousands of successful audio and video conferencing installations. We have learned both the easy way and the
hard way what works and how to best use the Vortex products. By making Polycom Error! Bookmark not defined. available to
you, the A/V specialist, we want to make your job easier and allow you to spend more time doing the things that can help your
design and integration firm be more profitable. To give you an idea of how much the design process can be accelerated, below is a
partial list of what Polycom Error! Bookmark not defined. will do for you. With just a few mouse clicks, Polycom Error!
Bookmark not defined. will automatically:
•
Select the Vortex equipment necessary to implement the system
•
Map the input and output equipment to Vortex inputs and outputs (e.g., lectern microphone is input 1 on Vortex
EF2280:00)
•
Set the input and output gains in the Vortex required to interface to the selected input and output equipment (e.g., most
video codecs typically require 10dB of input gain, and 5dB of output attenuation)
•
Configure the automatic microphone mixer for linked operation for larger systems
•
Create all the matrix crosspoints necessary to use the resulting system (e.g., local audio is sent to the remote site and
remote audio is played back into the room)
•
Create loudspeaker zones for sound reinforcement and allow you to specify the microphones that are part of that zone
and reinforced into other zones
•
Make it easy to modify the zone to zone crosspoint gains needed for sound reinforcement across zones
•
Configure all the bussing across linked devices (e.g., local microphones are automatically sent to all devices), including
sound reinforcement zone gains
•
Configure the acoustic echo cancellation (e.g., the echo canceller reference is configured and all linked devices are
configured to use the bus reference)
•
Customize the text labels for all inputs and outputs including the bussing signals
•
Save the settings to Preset 16 and set the power-on preset on all devices
•
Create macros for muting, unmuting, and volume control
•
Create logic assignments making it easy to connect push-to-talk microphones or other hardwired control systems
•
Create a project summary of the wiring connections and necessary equipment
•
Create formatted PDF reports of your system configurations
•
Create a zone to zone sound reinforcement summary report
•
Create a signal routing report so you can see how the signals are routed and bussed to create the appropriate sound
reinforcement zones
•
Create DXF drawings of your designs
•
Upload the Conference Composer project to your Vortex devices
The list keeps growing and growing. Imagine what you can do with Vortex products now – perform more conference designs with
your current team, create new conferencing applications, build more expertise within your team, etc. If you haven't tried the Vortex
products – you can't afford not to.
