We use Polycom PVX on a number of systems on campus, including a copy on my desktop so that I can test with sites before they attempt to connect to our Codian bridge. At least in my install on Windows XP, I am able to use the Osprey 210 video capture card and a Sony EVI-D30 as my video source.
On a semi-related note, next week I will be attempting to integrate a Polycom into my existing node to test if we can hold cross-platform meetings between AG and standard video conference hardware. If anyone is interested let me know, we could get you involved in the test.

Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 12:53 PM To: ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov Subject: [AG-TECH] Sending audio/video/desktop from Access Grid PCs to traditional conferencing systems (Tandberg, Polycom) Hi All, We are testing 2 software from Polycom (Polycom PVX) and from Tandberg (ConferenceMe) that will allow us to connect existing Access Grid PCs to traditional video conferencing systems. These software work on Windows platform and they allow us to join traditional video conference by connecting to a Tandberg or a Polycom bridge. We install the software on our existing Access Grid computers and are able to send audio/video/desktop to the bridges. Both software only work with USB or DV cameras. They do not work with video capture cards but we think that it is possible to convert S-Video or composite feed from our Sony EVI-D100 PTZ cameras to DV using the Canopus ADVC110. More testing will be done and we will post the results. Thanks, Quang Tran IT Analyst LSUHSC - New Orleans (504) 568-2877 Office
