• Ensure that static images are not displayed for long periods.

• Be aware that meetings that last more than an hour without much

settings if they are set to their maximum values.
Connecting Cameras
Polycom HDX 9000 series, Polycom HDX 8000 series, and Polycom HDX 7000
series systems provide inputs for multiple PTZ cameras. You can use the
RS-232 serial port on the system to control supported non-Polycom cameras or
cameras not connected to a main camera input.
Polycom HDX 8000 series, Polycom HDX 7000 series, and Polycom HDX 6000
series systems must be connected to a camera with an IR receiver to receive
signals from the remote control. Be sure to point the remote control at the
camera to control those Polycom HDX systems. Refer to the “Interoperability”
section of the current HDX system release notes for a list of supported cameras
with IR receivers.
Polycom EagleEye HD
You can use the Polycom EagleEye HD camera with all 1080p-enabled
Polycom HDX systems to send and receive 1080p encoded video. You can also
use the Polycom EagleEye HD camera with HDX systems that do not have the
1080p option, but you will not receive 1080p encoded video.
If you use a Sony RS-232 cable for PTZ control of a Sony camera, the built-in IR
receiver might not map to the correct pin on the Polycom HDCI Breakout adapter. If
you experience this problem, use the Polycom HDX HDCI-Sony cable to get the
correct mapping.
When connecting a Polycom EagleEye HD camera to video input 2 on a Polycom
HDX 9000 series or Polycom HDX 8000 series system, use only the approved
Polycom UL Listed adaptor, Class 2 or LPS not exceeding 12 Volts, 3.33 Amps
(part number 1465-52733-040). Verify the polarity of the power supply as shown on
the Polycom camera next to the power supply input.
