A compact and economical 
solution for small to medium-sized conference rooms.
Ideal for smaller conference spaces, the new entry-level Polycom VSX 5000 set-top system delivers 
market-leading video and audio quality at an affordable price.  A real space-saver, it sits conveniently on top
of TVs, high-resolution plasma screens, or LCD displays. You can easily add a peripheral (document camera,
or VCR/DVD), dual monitors, and audio-only callers through ISDN or the SoundStation VTX 1000
®
.  In fact 
the VSX 5000 gives you multiple ways of dialing conference attendees and delivering various types of 
content (for example, pictures, presentations, audio files). Connection options include IP (H.323 and SIP) 
and ISDN dialing, so you can utilize the VSX 5000 in a variety of conference environments.
The VSX 5000 is also well-suited for educational resource rooms where smaller groups of students meet 
with a remote educational specialist, and remote medical clinics that deliver specialist care to patients 
hundreds of kilometers from home.
The VSX 5000 includes features and benefits such as a user interface in 15 languages, multiple ways to 
add content, and dual monitor emulation for single display solutions.  Choose either a VGA display or a 
TV as your main display, whichever suits your conferencing environment.  The ISDN option enables you to
add ISDN conferencing capability as well, and the dual monitor option allows you to show people in one 
display and shared content in the other display.
Add simplicity and reduce conference table clutter by taking advantage of the Polycom SoundStation VTX
1000 integration with the VSX 5000. This integration gives users the ability to dial, hang up and mute a 
video conference right from the conference phone. Since the SoundStation VTX 1000 acts as the stereo
microphone as well as a standalone conference phone, there is no need for any other microphone on 
the table. Plus, dedicated stereo audio outputs enable easy implementation of Polycom's StereoSurround
technology, which separates multiple voices with conversational stereo.
