Will the OTX 300 Fit in My Selected Room?

 

The first step in preparing for an OTX 300 installation is to make sure that the OTX will properly fit 

into the room you selected. The following table can help you make that determination.  
 

 

With Complete Experience Kit 

(Includes OTX Rear Wall and Lights) 

Without Complete Experience Kit 

(Does Not Include OTX Rear Wall and 

Lights) 

Recommended 

Room Size 

22 ft 4½ in (6.82 m) wide x 15 ft 6 in 

(4.72 m) deep  x 8 ft 8 in (2.64 m) high 

22 ft 4½ in (6.82 m) wide x 15 ft 6 in 

(4.72 m) deep  x 8 ft 8 in (2.64 m) high

 

Minimum Room 

Size 

22 ft 4½ in (6.82 m) wide x 15 ft 6 in 

(4.72 m) deep  x 8 ft 0 in (2.43 m) high 

19 ft 0 in (5.79 m) wide x 13 ft 9 in (4.19 

m) deep x 8 ft 0 in (2.43 m) high

 

Room Width 

Considerations 

If your room is wider than 22 ft 4½ in 

(6.82 m) side-to-side, Polycom 

recommends that you install the OTX in 

the center of the room. 

If your room is narrower than 22 ft 4½ in 

(6.82 m) side-to-side but still meets the 

minimum dimensions, the corners of the 

room may be visible onscreen during 

video calls.

 

Room Depth 

Considerations 

If your room is deeper  than 15 ft 6 in 

(4.72 m) front-to-back, Polycom 

recommends that you install the OTX 

against the front wall of the room as 

shown on page 23 and leave unused 

space behind the OTX rear wall. 

If your room is shorter than 15 ft 6 in 

(4.72 m) front-to-back but still meets the 

minimum dimensions, the chairs may 

not fit comfortably in the room. 
If your room is deeper than 15 ft 6 in 

(4.72 m) front-to-back, Polycom 

recommends that you purchase the 

Complete Experience Kit.

 

Room Height 

Considerations 

The maximum ceiling height is 14 ft 0 in  

(4.26 m). 

The maximum ceiling height is 14 ft 0 in 

(4.26 m). 

Placement Plans 

See page 23 for the room placement 

plan. 

See page 24 for the room placement 

plan. 

 

  If your room does fit the size requirements listed in the table, continue through the rest of this 

document to determine the other OTX room requirements.  

  If your room does not meet the size requirements, you can modify the room or select a new one, 

you can call your Polycom sales representative for assistance, or you can speak to your Polycom 

Project Manager (if one has been assigned to you).
