Compact, entry-level set-top video conferencing system with built-in IP connectivity, ideal for small group applications.

The Polycom VSX 6000 offers all of the features you'd expect in a high-end group video system with all the key features, but with a smaller footprint. Well suited for organizations with an IP network infrastructure and the need for a small group video conferencing product with a high-quality pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, the VSX 6000 is the answer.

Because video quality is important for productive communications, the VSX 6000's integrated PTZ camera allows users to easily manipulate the camera with the remote control to capture the audience, on both the far and near end of the call. The system is smart enough to determine the best video quality for the call, automatically choosing H.264 by default, or auto switching to H.263 if necessary. Either way, users are assured of the best quality video experience.

Each VSX 6000 product delivers crisp, clear Polycom Siren™ 14 audio (external speakers required). Add an auxiliary Stereo Speaker Kit and experience patent pending Polycom StereoSurround™. The single digital tabletop microphone array included with every system accommodates either audio arrangement.

To complete the voice and video experience in a small group setting, a SoundStation VTX 1000 can be linked to the VSX 6000 and used as the microphone and as the dialing interface. From the conference phone keypad, users can dial an IP video call and then add a voice-only participant to the conference, all in wideband audio.
