3.1. Basic Components

The VSX 7000 is a set-top system with innovative design and function. The set-top unit itself includes the

camera, integrated mid-range speaker and the basic I/O of the system. The companion subwoofer allows for

great sound and is responsible for power and ISDN connectivity, allowing simplified cabling to the set-top unit.

Every system includes the ability for video calls over IP (H.323). In addition, there are two network interfaces

choices for H.320 calls: Quad BRI or Serial/V.35.

The following sections describe the main components and software options in more detail.

Camera/Set-top Unit

The main unit includes a mechanical pan-tilt-zoom camera, an integrated mid-range speaker for conference audio

and the input/output described in a later section of this document.

Combined with the subwoofer, the integrated mid-range speaker guarantees that good audio rendition is available

at every installation, eliminating the possibility that poor quality speakers in the conference room would lower the

quality of the customer’s experience.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is included with every VSX 7000, and serves the source of power for the set-top unit and is the

source of the optional network interface modules. The subwoofer is especially useful in rendition of vowel sounds

(lower frequencies) that make up good speech reproduction.

With a single cable connecting it to the main unit (including audio, power and ISDN signals), the subwoofer

eliminates problematic cabling that would otherwise have to run all the way up to the set-top.

The subwoofer can be disabled if the installation calls for specialized audio in a conference room.
