3.4. Optional Components and Features

People+Content (Visual Concert VSX)
This includes software and a table-top pod designed to allow users to connect their laptop to the
videoconferencing system during a call and present high-resolution graphics, live motion and audio.
Multipoint Software License
The internal MCU allows the user to dial a mix of IP and ISDN or IP and V.35 endpoints using the internal
bridging capabilities of the VSX. This feature also allows a participant to dial into a call that is already in progress.
This ability is made secure by the option of adding a "dial-in" password. Four total participants can be in the call
at any one time.
In addition to standard people video, the internal MP supports People+Content functionality, which allows any of
the sites in the call (not only host site) to present content and have full capabilities.
People+Content is only available when other systems in call support People+Content with software version 5.0 or
higher.

Technologies

4.1. People+Content

Polycom's patent-pending technology called People+Content is a radical departure from the traditional talking
heads type of videoconferencing. With People+Content, Polycom addresses the overall concept that people and
content need to be handled differently.
