Configuring Content Display With People+Content Ip - Polycom VSX 3000 Administrator's Manual

Configuring Content Display with People+Content IP

People+Content IP is included with the VSX 8000 system and is optional for
other VSX systems. It enables a presenter to show content from a computer to
other sites in a video conference using only an IP network connection.
The presenter can show PowerPoint® slides, video clips, spreadsheets, or any
other type of content from a computer. Supported resolutions include 640x480,
800x600, 1024x768, and 1280x1024.
Before a presenter can use a computer to show content with
People+Content IP, you need to:
• Enable People+Content IP on the VSX system.
When you purchase this option, you receive a software activation key.
This key allows you to enable People+Content IP on a VSX system.
• Install the People+Content IP software application on the computer(s) that
the presenter will use to show content.
You don't need to change the computer resolutions and you don't need
special cables or hardware, but the computer(s) must meet these
requirements:
— Operating System: Windows 2000, Windows XP Home, or Windows
XP Professional
— Minimum computer: 500 MHz Pentium® III (or equivalent); 256 MB
memory
Recommended computer: 1 GHz Pentium III (or equivalent); 512 MB
memory
Note that, although you use the license key on only one VSX system, you
can install the presenter software on an unlimited number of computers.
• Connect the computer(s) to the IP network.
For information about purchasing the People+Content IP option, please
contact your Polycom distributor.
