between endpoints. The name codec comes from a combination of the two words
compression and decompression.
3. Monitor
-
The monitor displays the far end or the near end image.
4.
Remote Control -
The remote control is used to place calls, adjust the volume,
navigate screens and select options. It controls all functions of the videoconferencing
equipment. The equipment will not function without the remote control.
5. Microphone
–
The Polycom VSX 7000 has an external table microphone which can
be situated accordingly to suite the size of the room and the number of participants.
The microphone will automatically equalize sound levels so that loud and soft voices
are picked up and transmitted to the far end at approximately the same level.
6. Subwoofer
–
The subwoofer is used to enhance the sound produced by the video
conference equipment.
7. Scan
Converter
– The scan converter is used to convert computer presentations to
a format more suitable for videoconferencing. The Polycom VSX 7000 does not
have one built in so it requires an external scan converter to ensure quality images
are sent to the far end site.
8.
Ethernet cable -
This type of cable is similar to the one that connects to the Local
Area Network (LAN). One end is plugged into the back of the codec and the other
end (for MBTelehealth purposes), must be plugged into the specified jack in the wall.
Once the Ethernet cable is plugged in, you will be able to connect, or be connected
to other sites.
9.
S-VIDEO Cable -
S-Video is short for Super-Video. Video signals are transmitted
through a cable which is divided into two separate signals: one for color and the
other for brightness.
