The world's most powerful set-top video conferencing system for medium sized groups and special applications.

The Polycom VSX 7000s offers flexibility, reliability and a robust architecture for virtually any meeting room, classroom, or medium group environment. With a unique integrated sound system, the Polycom VSX 7000s raises the bar for quality audio with patent pending Polycom StereoSurround™ audio. During a video conference, voices from far-end participants project in stereo. With dual speakers and dual microphones you’ll hear each speaker clearly, easily decipher multiple simultaneous conversations and experience pure, rich sound.

In addition, the VSX 7000s offers truly exceptional video with H.264 and television-like quality Pro-Motion™, an easy-to-use customizable user interface, standard AES software encryption, touch panel integration capabilities and voice add-on capabilities.

The Polycom VSX 7000s provides flexibility in any conferencing environment; you can choose between a VGA or TV monitor as your main display, choose your dialing method (IP/SIP/ISDN), and connect any second camera or VCR to display pictures, movies or presentations to all conference participants. Whenever Content is displayed, whether it is coming from a PC, a document camera or from a DVD, the conference participants always see both the speaker and the content, for a seamless meeting experience.

For a complete conferencing solution, consider combining the VSX 7000s with the Polycom Media Center solution with a choice of single or dual LCD displays or plasmas, a quality cart and the world's best selling video conferencing system.

There are many optional features and components that can be added to the Polycom VSX7000s to further enhance any video conference. Tremendous value is added to the VSX 7000s when combined with the SoundStation VTX 1000®, allowing the user to dial video calls right from their conference room as well as use the SoundStation VTX 1000 as the stereo microphone for the VSX 7000s. This combination saves conference table space (no mics or wires are needed) as well as provides double the range of microphone pickup so that all conference participants are clearly heard, even in large rooms.

Another option that can be added to the VSX 7000s is the presenter package, including Visual Concert™ and People+Content™ IP. Both of these allow users to display PC content during the meeting; Visual Concert is used to connect a laptop directly to the VSX 7000s, while People+Content IP is used to share PC content wirelessly. PC content can include PowerPoint presentations, movie files, audio files, pictures or documents. More options include ISDN capability, speaker kits, additional microphones and more – all designed to allow you to create the perfect conferencing environment for your meeting room.
