Introducing the Polycom PowerCam

Presenter

The Polycom PowerCam Presenter is an automatic camera tracking device. Its

primary components include a camera, a locator pack assembly, a controller,

and a remote control.

When you have set up the PowerCam Presenter and are ready to use the

automatic camera tracking functionality, simply attach the locator pack

assembly to yourself using the provided belt clip or lanyard. You can then

freely move about the room, and the camera will automatically point at you.

Because you no longer need to confine yourself to a single spot in the room or

worry about adjusting the camera manually, you’ll be free to focus on the more

important tasks at hand — whether that’s teaching a class, making a

presentation, or delivering a speech.

The PowerCam Presenter also enables you to manually adjust the camera. You

can pan, tilt, and zoom the camera as well as set up one or two camera preset

positions.

System Components

These standard components come with the Polycom PowerCam Presenter:

Name Component Description

Controller The controller receives ultrasound signals from the

camera. The software in the controller processes

these signals to locate the person wearing the

locator pack assembly, and it then commands the

camera to follow that person.

Locator pack

assembly (includes

locator pack and

locator)

The locator pack assembly generates ultrasound

signals. The camera receives these signals, which

enables it to track you as you move. You clip the

locator and locator pack to the front of your

clothing, or you can wear the locator pack around

your neck using the provided lanyard.

Locator pack AC

power charger and

cord

The locator pack AC power charger and cord

enable you to charge the battery pack inside the

Camera

(NTSC or PAL

version)

The camera has several main functions:

•Provides an S-video (PAL or NTSC) or composite

video signal.

•Points the camera head in response to

commands from the controller to change the pan,

tilt, or zoom.

•Provides a microphone array, which sends the

ultrasound signals received from the locator pack

assembly to the controller box.

•Provides an IR receiver, which sends the IR

signals received from the remote control to the

controller.

Camera cables In a configuration where you are not using a VSX

video conferencing system, the camera cable

connects to the camera. In a configuration where

you are using a VSX video conferencing system,

one camera cable connects to the camera and the

other connects to the VSX system. In either

configuration, you can use the 10-foot or 100-foot

cable interchangeably.

Camera adapter

cable

In a configuration where you are using a VSX video

conferencing system, the camera adapter cable

enables you to connect both the camera and the

VSX system to the controller.

Camera power

supply and power

cable

The camera power supply and power cable

connect power to the camera.

Controller power

cable

The controller power cable connects power to the

controller. Your PowerCam Presenter shipping

boxes contain power cables for various countries;

use the cable that’s appropriate for your country.

LAN cable The LAN cable enables you to connect your

PowerCam Presenter to an IP network. The LAN

connection is not for making video calls.

Name Component Description

S-video cables In a configuration where you are not using a VSX

video conferencing system, the 25-foot S-video

cable enables you to connect optional S-video

devices, such as a VCR, DVD recorder, or a video

conferencing system other than a Polycom VSX

system. In a configuration where you are using a

VSX video conferencing system, the 25-foot

S-video cable enables you to connect the camera

to the controller. In either configuration, the 8-foot

S-video cable enables you to connect a display so

you can see Presenter icons and messages.

S-video to RCA

adapter

If you are using your own RCA cable to connect to

a display, the S-video to RCA adapter connects

your RCA cable to the controller so you can see

PowerCam Presenter icons and messages on the

screen.

Male RCA to

female S-video

adapter

In a configuration where you are not using a VSX

video conferencing system, the male RCA to

female S-video adapter connects the camera cable

to the camera. In a configuration where you are

using a VSX video conferencing system, the male

RCA to female S-video adapter connects the

S-video cable to the camera.

S-video gender

changer adapter

In a configuration where you are using a VSX video

conferencing system, the S-video gender changer

adapter connects the two camera cables.

Rack mount ears

and screws

The rack mount ears and screws enable you to

mount the controller in a rack. For information on

how to do this, refer to the Administrator’s Guide for

the VSX Series, available at

www.polycom.com/videodocumentation.

Rubber feet The rubber feet insert into the holes in the bottom

of the controller. Use the rubber feet only if you

choose to place the controller on a desk or table

rather than to rack mount it.
