Configuring VSX Systems for a Polycom Vortex Mixer
Connecting a Polycom Vortex mixer to VSX set-top or component systems
provides flexibility in audio set-up. For example, it allows you to provide a
microphone for each call participant in a boardroom.
The VSX 8000 is designed to work with the Polycom Vortex mixer. For this
configuration, you need Vortex firmware 2.5.2 or later, Conference Composer
version 2.7.0 or later, and VSX system software version 7.5 or later.
