Controlling the camera:
The PolyCom VSX 5000 has a camera which can be aimed, as well as
zoomed in and out, using the remote control. During a conference you
can use the remote control to aim and zoom your device’s camera or the
camera on a device you are connected to. This section will show you how
to control your camera and the cameras on devices you are connected to.
Begin by making a call. Follow the normal method
outlined in the previous sections by entering the IP
number of the device and pressing the
green Call
button
at the top of the remote control.
The call will connect.
You can now control your own camera. Use the
red
arrows
on the remote control to aim the
camera up, down, left, and right.
Use the
blue zoom
buttons
to zoom in and out.
There are times when you may want to control the
camera of a device you are connected to. To take
control of the device you are connected to press the
blue Far
button
on the right side of the remote
control. You will see the Far icon appear in the
corner of the television screen. You can now control
the remote camera the same way you control your
own.
To switch back to controlling your own device, press
the
blue Near
button
on the right side of the
remote control. You will see the Near icon appear in
the corner of the television screen. You are now
controlling your own camera again.
