To connect a Polycom PowerCam to the VS4000:
To connect other types of main camera to the original VS4000:
1. Connect an S-video cable to the camera’s S-video connector and the Camera 1
connector on the system.
2. Connect a camera control cable (8-pin mini-DIN to DB-9) to the camera’s
VISCA in connector and to the camera control 1 connector on the rear panel of
the system.
3. Connect the camera’s power pack or cord to a power outlet.
If you want to connect an additional camera to your system, such as a document
camera, see the Document Camera or Other Additional Camera section on page
2-18.
If you install an original VS4000 system out of the range of the remote control (for example,
in a separate equipment room), you will need to connect an external infrared (IR) sensor and
place it in the conference room. To order an external IR sensor, contact your Polycom
reseller.
The enhanced VS4000 system uses the IR sensor built into the Polycom PowerCam, and
does not require an external IR sensor.
