Polycom QSX300 Voice+Content
For SoundStation VTX 1000 Conference Phone
The Polycom QSX allows users to instantly share a live view of a computer screen with remote locations, simply by dialing a Polycom conference phone. It's an easy and secure screen sharing solution that anyone can use. There's no need to learn new applications, upload documents, pay monthly service fees or handle pre-schedule challenges.
QSX is ideal for everyday group meetings. It's Voice+Content without any of the usual hassles!
QSX content sharing works with all wired, analog Polycom conference phones, from the original SoundStation to the wideband SoundStation VTX 1000. (QSX 300 is for use with Polycom SoundStation VTX 1000 software release 1.6 or higher.) Users can share any type of visual content from any application using familiar conference room equipment, so collaboration is convenient and simple. QSX works with any conference call setup, including calls using a conference bridge or a PBX.
Simply place your call, connect your computer to the QSX VGA cable and share content, including business
applications, proprietary software, the Internet, images, and software demos – all at the touch of a button.
QSX also provides access for remote participants without a QSX at their location, who can view content
using a standard Web browser and password login. The QSX user interface provides convenient info screen
overlays that show presenter/viewer locations and connection information, as well as the Web address and
login information for remote participants.
With QSX, content is secure and protected from interception by unauthorized viewers. AES media encryption
(QSX to QSX) and unique password login for remote participants via a web browser help to provide secure
transmission of the content. And with QSX, the presenter maintains complete control over the distribution of
information as well as participant access, eliminating the security risk of unintended information distribution.
The QSX system can be fully deployed behind the firewall and can also provide external Web viewer access
via NAT configuration.
Polycom QSX is ideal for content sharing in your everyday group meetings. Whether your meetings are regularly scheduled or ad-hoc, QSX is the solution for you.
This quick, secure, and easy to use solution takes a one-time set up of 30 minutes, and once QSX is installed, users will no longer have to worry about having to
learn new applications, upload documents, pay monthly service fees, or pre-schedule – you will get Voice+Content without any of the usual hassles. See for
yourself how easy it is to use and set up!
