Polycom Installations

Here's recap of various Polycom Room Systems calling scenarios:

  1. Point to Point Video Calling between Skype (or Teams, or any other Windows conferencing client) & the Polycom Room System: Use the VCR Audio and Video outputs of the Room System as a conference room web cam inputs to the VSS-1 system & the one Skype remote/mobile user.

  2. A Skype GVC (Group Video Call) with the Polycom Room System: Use the VCR Audio and Video outputs of the Room System as a conference room web cam inputs to the VSS-1 system & the remote/mobile Skype GVC group - e.g. with 10 video and 25 audio participants.

  3. Adding a VSS-1 Skype user to an H.323 video conference with the Polycom Room System & another remote H.323 site: use the H.239 VGA and Audio inputs from the VSS-1 system and Skype.

  4. Adding a VSS-1 Skype user to an H.323 video conference with the Polycom Room System & multiple remote H.323 sites: use the H.239 VGA and Audio inputs from the VSS-1 system and Skype.

  5. Adding a group of VSS-1 Skype users (GVC) to an H.323 video conference with the Polycom Room System & multiple remote H.323 sites: use the H.239 VGA and Audio inputs from the VSS-1 system and Skype.
