Integrating the HDX codec and the EagleEye Director
The
Polycom
EagleEye
Director
for
HDX
delivers
an
affordable,
personalized
telepresence
experience
in
group
meetings
by
intelligently
emulating
professional
video
production
techniques
enabling
better
communication
and
more
productive
meetings
–
no
remote
control
or
user
intervention
is
required.
SoundStructure
solutions
offer
the
ultimate
in
audio
quality
and
flexibility
for
any
size
room.
Combining
these
components
together
is
a
natural
extension
of
the
HDX
codec
and
improves
the
overall
audio
experience.
As
shown
in
Figure
1,
when
the
EagleEye
Director
is
used
with
an
HDX
codec,
the
two
systems
are
connected
together
with
a
custom
cable
included
with
EagleEye
Director
that
connects
the
audio
outputs
(1L
and
1R)
from
the
HDX
codec
to
the
EagleEye
Director
and
connects
the
same
audio
to
the
Amplifier
via
additional
balanced
audio
cables.
In
addition
to
the
audio
cables,
there
is
a
video
cable
(red
in
this
figure)
for
taking
the
video
output
from
the
EagleEye
Director
into
the
HDX
codec.
