Positioning the System
Position the system so that the camera does not face toward a window or other
source of bright light.
To position the system:
¾ Place the V500 system on top of your TV monitor. For optimal audio and
video performance, locate the monitor within 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3 meters)
away from the people in the call.
.
Connecting the Monitor
You must connect a TV monitor to the V500 system. You can use either an
NTSC or PAL monitor, depending on your system.
The back panel view, shown on page
2-1 , shows the location of the video and
audio connectors used for the monitor.
You must use the same type of video connector on the V500 system as on the
monitor. For example, if you use the S-video connector on the system, use the
S-video connector on the monitor.
3 - 10 ft.
(1 - 3 m)
Polycom recommends using S-video because it provides superior video quality.
