Flammability

Refer to the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex Technical Specifications document for flammability

class information. The user may be legally required to perform their own Risk Assessment to ensure that

the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system is safe to use in their location. A Fire Marshall

assessment may also be required. Additional site safety measures may be necessary to ensure that fire

risks and escape routes are legally compliant. Polycom cannot advise or endorse any such safety

measures.

Will the Immersive Studio Flex System

Fit in My Room?

The first step in preparing for a RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system installation is to make sure

that the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system will properly fit into the room you selected. The

following table can help you make that determination.

With Optional Lighting Kit

Recommended

Room Size 21 ft 10 in (6.65 m) wide x 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m) deep x 8 ft (2.44 m) high

Room Width

Considerations

If your room is wider than 21 ft (6.4 m) side-to-side, Polycom

recommends that you install the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex

system in the center of the room.

Room Height

Considerations

The maximum ceiling height is 14 ft 0 in

(4.26 m). The minimum ceiling height is 8 ft (2.44 m).

Placement Plans See page 28 for the room placement plan.

See page 37 for the CA, OR, WA room placement plan

● If your room does fit the size requirements listed in the table, continue through the rest of this

document to determine the other RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex room requirements.

● If your room does not meet the size requirements, you can modify the room or select a new one,

you can call your Polycom sales representative for assistance, or you can speak to your Polycom

Project Manager (if one has been assigned to you).

Polycom, Inc. 6

Physical Room Requirements

The RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system is available with a media wall and optional participant

table, front façade wall, and room lighting.

This section provides information about the:

● Ceiling requirements

● Front wall requirements

● Side wall requirements

● Rear wall requirements

● Floor requirements

● General room requirements

Ceiling Requirements

Height

● Minimum ceiling height: 8 ft (2.44 m)

● Maximum ceiling height: 14 ft (4.26 m)

These ceiling heights apply to rooms with or without the Flex Optional Lighting Kit. For more information

about room size requirements, see the previous page.

Polycom Ceiling Microphone Arrays

● To obtain the best acoustics, the ceiling should be a suspended ceiling (also known as a dropped

ceiling); however, structural ceilings are also supported.

● If your ceiling is higher than 9 ft (2.74 m) and lower than 14 ft (4.26 m), you must order three

optional 6-foot (1.82 m) drop cables (part number 2457-26765-072) from your Polycom sales

representative. Be sure to order one drop cable for each Ceiling Microphone Array.

For more information about the Ceiling Microphones, see the Ceiling Microphone Array placement plan

and the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system side view for standard and CA, OR, WA

installations at the end of this document.

Color

● If your ceiling can be painted, paint it white or a light color that is as close to white as possible.

● If your ceiling is suspended (also known as a dropped ceiling) and the ceiling tiles and grid are

damaged, grayed, or yellowed, you should replace the old suspended ceiling with a new one.


Polycom, Inc. 7

Lighting

This section describes how to ensure proper lighting in the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex room:

● If you are planning to install the Flex Optional Lighting Kit

● If you are not planning to install the Flex Optional Lighting Kit

● If your room is larger than the recommended room size (whether or not you are planning to install

the Flex Optional Lighting Kit)

If you are planning to install the Flex Optional Lighting Kit:

Your Polycom Project Manager will work with you and your electrician to prepare for the installation of the

lights. Note that it is the customers’ responsibility to purchase and install the ceiling lights in accordance

with all local building and electrical codes. Documentation about how to install the lights is packaged with

the lights. It is also the customers’ responsibility to create the customer signage label and provide it to the

installers at this stage.

The following table lists product information about the light fixtures that are part of this kit:

For more information about the Flex Optional Lighting Kit lighting requirements:

● See the lighting plan and the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system side view at the end of

this document.

• See the specification sheet for the lights:

http://www.gelighting.com/LightingWeb/na/solutions/indoor-lighting/suspended/lumination-ep-

series.jsp.

If you are not planning to install the Flex Optional Lighting Kit:

If you are not planning to install the Flex Optional Lighting Kit, you will not receive the Polycom lighting;

therefore, you must provide your own lighting. Polycom recommends using a lighting designer and having

the lighting professionally installed. The room should have evenly dispersed ambient light.

To ensure proper lighting, you must measure the lighting at seats 1 through 6 in the room.

http://www.gelighting.com/LightingWeb/na/solutions/indoor-lighting/suspended/lumination-ep-series.jsp



Polycom, Inc. 8

To measure the lighting:

● Place a light meter (such as a Sekonic® L-758C) 50 in (127 cm) above the floor.

● Place the light meter perpendicular to the light sensor (since this is what the camera sees).

● Check that the light meter dome is fully retracted.

● Use a tripod to maintain height consistency.

The lighting should meet the following requirements:

50

Polycom, Inc. 9

● The light levels for the participants seated at seats 1 through 6 should be between 30 and 70 foot

candles, with an ideal measurement of 45 foot candles. The difference in light levels between any

two participants must be less than 10 foot candles.

● The lighting temperature should be between 3200K and 4500K, with an ideal measurement of

4100K.

The Flex Optional Lighting Kit lighting plan is shown on pages 34 and 43. You may want to refer to this

plan as a reference when choosing and installing your own lighting. For additional information to help you

choose lighting that is comparable to the Flex Optional Lighting Kit lighting, see the specification sheet for

the lights: http://www.gelighting.com/LightingWeb/na/solutions/indoor-lighting/suspended/lumination-ep-

series.jsp.

If your room is larger than the recommended room size:

If your room is larger than 21 ft 10 in (6.65 m) wide x 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m) deep x 8 ft (2.44 m) high, any lighting in

the room that is outside of the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex footprint could cause interference

with the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex lighting. Polycom recommends that all rooms that are

deeper than 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m) front-to-back should include a Flex Optional Lighting Kit.

To reduce the probability of interference from other lights in the room:

● Remove any lights within 4 ft (1.21 m) of the sides or back of the RealPresence Immersive Studio

Flex footprint. This “keep-out” area is shown in blue in the following figure.

● Check that there are no lights within the 84° total field of view of the cameras. This area is also

shown in the following figure.




Polycom, Inc. 10

Ideally, all the lights in the room should be from the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex Optional

Lighting Kit. However, if your room has lights outside of the “keep-out” area, these lights must have the

same temperature as the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex lighting. Additionally, to minimize stray

light, Polycom recommends that these lights be downward-facing, such as recessed can lights.

Media Wall Only Requirements If you purchase only the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex media wall and supply your own table,

ensure that the table matches the dimensions below as closely as possible. Also, ensure that the seating

positions match what is shown below.


Polycom, Inc. 11

Ensure that your table height matches the dimensions shown in the following figure.

Front and Rear Wall Requirements

Note that the front wall referred to in this section is the front wall of the room, which is located behind the

RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex media wall. If installing the optional front façade wall, the front wall

of the room must be suitable to support it.


Polycom, Inc. 12

Microphones

Polycom Ceiling Microphone Arrays

To prepare for the installation of the Ceiling Microphone Arrays, an electrician must do the following:

● Install a single gang junction box in the front wall of the room as specified on pages 31 and 40.

● Install a conduit in the front wall of the room. The conduit should extend in a straight run from the

junction box to the plenum space in the ceiling, and should be at least 1.2 in (30 mm) in diameter.

● Stub up the conduit (that is, bend it approximately 90º) into the plenum area.


Polycom, Inc. 14

Additionally, Polycom recommends at least a 4-foot (1.2 m) separation between any HVAC equipment

(particularly air conditioning equipment) and the Ceiling Microphone Arrays.

For more information about installing the Ceiling Microphone Arrays, see the Ceiling Microphone Array

placement plan and the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex side view for standard and CA, OR, WA

installations at the end of this document. For more information about HVAC equipment, see the “Noise”

section on page 18.

System Rating

• Input 1: 100-240V, 3.0A, 50/60 Hz

• Input 2: 100-240V, 4.0A, 50/60 Hz

Caution: This equipment uses multiple power connections. See the instructions below for quick disconnect of the rack and lighting controller. Please disconnect all before servicing.

The main system consists of one electronics rack unit which is considered “pluggable equipment.” The

room lighting system is considered to be “permanently connected equipment.”

Emergency Disconnect

In the event of an emergency, power to the system may be disconnected by turning off the POWER DISCONNECT switch installed in the room.

Power Outlets

120V region (such as North America) The system requires one dedicated 20A circuit (15A minimum). This should terminate to a quad AC box. It must be located on the front wall as specified on the drawings at the end of this document.

220V and 230V region (such as Europe) The system requires one dedicated 16A circuit (13A minimum). This should terminate to a quad AC box. It must be located on the front wall as specified on the drawings at the end of this document.

Obstructions

Since the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex video wall is installed close to the front wall of the room,

you may find it difficult to reach or see any thermostats, fire strobes, fire alarms, light switches, or other

devices located on that wall. Therefore, if any of these devices are present on the front wall of the room,

you should move them to a side wall. Fire strobes and alarms should never be blocked from view by the

RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system.

Floor Requirements

Material and Color

• To obtain the best acoustics, use a room in which the floor is carpeted or have carpeting installed in

the room.

• Polycom recommends that you install ¼ in thick (without backing pad) black carpet squares similar

to the following:

InterfaceFLOR™ Tectonics (Style Number 141370250H/Color Number 100060) 50 x 50 cm.

• Install the carpet squares in an aligned “brick” pattern.

• Cover any existing floor boxes.

• For more information, see http://www.interfaceflor.com/.

Floor Support

Ensure that your room can accommodate the weight of the components listed in the following table plus

the weight of the chairs and other furniture and equipment you expect to have installed in the room. You

must also factor in the weight of the people who might enter the room.

Floor Levelness

The maximum deflection for floor levelness is approximately 1 in (2.54 cm) across 20 ft (6.1 m) inclusive.

You can use this variance whether you measure front-to-back, side-to-side, from a corner of the suite, or

from the center of the suite. The RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system provides leveling feet to

allow for approximately +/- ½ in (1.27 cm) of adjustment.

Obstructions

The floor area in which the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system will be installed must be clear of

any architectural elements that would restrict access, lessen usable space, or prevent people from easily

and safely walking around the room. Examples include room columns and soffits on the walls.


Polycom, Inc. 18

General Room Requirements

Windows

Because natural light from windows varies, it can affect the quality of the video as well as the

conferencing experience. In addition, windows on the side or back wall may be visible from the cameras.

● If there are windows on any of the walls, you should have them removed. If you cannot remove

them, you must cover them with blackout curtains or blinds that block out all natural light. Choose

coverings that are the same color as the wall.

● If the windows cover more than 20% of the wall, choose acoustical window treatments to avoid

audio reverberation.

Doors

The door to the room should be located on one of the side walls and aligned to the center of the table as

specified on the placement plans at the end of this document.

Polycom highly recommends that you do not locate the door on the front wall or the rear wall of the room

because the width of the room would have to be greatly expanded to accommodate access around the

video wall or the rear wall of the Flex Complete Experience Kit. In addition, a door located on the rear wall

of the room may be visible from the cameras.

Chairs

Chairs for the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system are to be supplied by the customer. Polycom

recommends the Steelcase™ Amai™ 482 Series leather chair (Polycom part number 1583-07189-001).

(For more information, see

http://store.steelcase.com/learn/brochures/amia?cid=ps&kwid=31062830960x5204321481x31616352.)

Optionally, you can use the Herman Miller® Eames® Aluminum Group Executive chair (Polycom part

number 2200-61923-001). (For more information, see http://www.hermanmiller.com/Products/Eames-

Aluminum-Group-Chairs.)

If you do not purchase these chairs, Polycom highly recommends that you purchase chairs that are the

same size, color, and shape to maintain the design integrity of the room. The maximum width of the chair

is 25”.

Noise

● The Noise Criterion (NC) rating for the room should be under NC 30. An SPL meter reading of 43

dBA or lower is acceptable.

● Sounds from adjacent rooms (such as meeting rooms, offices, kitchens, reception areas,

restrooms, or data centers) may interfere with the audio during conferences. If the room does not

meet the NC rating listed in the previous bullet, you should consider another room or consult with

an architect to help you determine ways to reduce noise within the room.

http://www.hermanmiller.com/Products/Eames-Aluminum-Group-Chairs

http://www.hermanmiller.com/Products/Eames-Aluminum-Group-Chairs


Polycom, Inc. 19

● Keep in mind that Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment can introduce noise

that can be picked up by the Ceiling Microphone Arrays. Polycom recommends at least a 4-foot

(1.2 m) separation between any HVAC equipment (particularly the air conditioning equipment) and

the Ceiling Microphone Arrays. Your room may require a greater distance depending on the noise

level of your HVAC.

Thermostat

Polycom recommends installing an independently controlled thermostat on a side wall in the room. Be

sure that you do not block access to the thermostat.

The operating temperature for the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex equipment should be within 41°

to 82.4° F (5° to 28° C), with a typical setting of 73° F (23° C). HVAC should be provided to cool the room.

For more information, see the “Power and Cooling” section.

Vibration

Excessive room or wall vibration can negatively affect the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system

video performance, resulting in camera movement or jitter that may be noticeable by the far-end

participants. Room or wall vibration may be caused by many factors, such as HVAC equipment mounted

nearby, heavy machinery in use nearby, high-rise structural vibrations, building sway or movement, and

even trains or subways passing nearby or underneath the building.

Consult the building manager, an architect, and/or the contractor to determine the optimal placement for

the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system. Polycom recommends mounting the RealPresence

Immersive Studio Flex cameras to the provided floor-mounted camera bracket and using the anti-

vibration foot bumpers if needed to address floor vibration.

If there are known vibration issues, please contact your Polycom sales representative or speak to your

Polycom Project Manager prior to the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system installation.
