Audio Tips
Polycom’s superior audio and digital Ceiling Microphone Arrays are
extremely sensitive. Keep in mind that they will pick up all sound in the room,
even gentle noises and whispers — and even if you are not in camera range.
Other helpful audio tips you should consider include:
• When speaking, you do not have to direct your speech to a certain location
or speak louder than normal. Simply speak in your normal tone of voice.
• As in any meeting, you should refrain from sidebar conversations. These
can be distracting, especially in multipoint meetings where participants at
a number of sites are present.
• Whenever you are in an RPX suite or an OTX room, remember that the
microphones may be on. If you want to have a private conversation, check
that the microphones are muted.
Document Camera Tips
If your room is equipped with an optional document camera, you may find
these tips helpful:
• If your room does not have a whiteboard, you can annotate on a document
that you display using your document camera.
• When writing on a document, use a black marker or a dark pen so that
your notations show more clearly.
• For an RPX suite, if you are right-handed and are planning to use the
document camera, sit at the seat marked in red on the following
illustration. Additionally, you may not want anyone to sit at the seat
marked in blue so that you have more room to use the document camera.
