Connecting Cameras
Polycom HDX systems provide inputs for multiple PTZ cameras. You can use
the RS-232 serial port on the Polycom HDX system to control non-Polycom
cameras or cameras not connected to input 1 or 2.
If you connect a supported PTZ camera, the system detects the camera type
and sets the appropriate configuration.
Refer to your system’s setup sheet for connection details. Refer to the release
notes for a list of supported PTZ cameras.
The following table shows how you can connect video sources to a Polycom
HDX system.
When connecting a Polycom Eagle Eye camera to video input 2, use only the
approved power supply from Polycom (part number 1465-52621-036). Do not
exceed 12 Volts at 3 Amps.
