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. Refer to the Room Remediation Plan for more details.
With Optional Lighting Kit 6-Seat 15-Seat
Recommended Room Size With Back Table
21 ft 10 in (6.65 m) wide x 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m) deep x 8 ft (2.44 m) high For rigid ceilings, the height should be 8 ft 2 in (2.49 m).
26 ft 4-7/8 in (8.05 m) wide x 21 ft 3 in (6.48 m) deep x 8 ft (2.44 m)* high For rigid ceilings, the height should be 8 ft 2 in (2.49 m).
Recommended Room Size Without Back Table
21 ft 10 in (6.65 m) wide x 14 ft 0 in (4.27 m) deep x 8 ft (2.44 m)* high For rigid ceilings, the height should be 8 ft 2 in (2.49 m).
26 ft 4-7/8 in (8.05 m) wide x 19 ft 4 in (5.89 m) deep x 8 ft (2.44 m)* high For rigid ceilings, the height should be 8 ft 2 in (2.49 m).
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).
● 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).

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:
● Table Requirements
● Ceiling Requirements
● Front and Rear Wall Requirements
● Side Wall Requirements
● Floor Requirements ● General Room Requirements
Table Requirements Power and data are not supplied in the main and rear tables. It is the customers’ responsibility to install power and data in the tables.
Ceiling Requirements
Height ● Minimum ceiling height: 8 ft (2.44 m) (For rigid ceilings: 8 ft 2 in (2.49 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.
Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex System Installation Room Preparation Guide
Polycom, Inc. 8
● 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.
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:

• 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 the seats in the room.

The lighting should meet the following requirements:
● The light levels on the faces of all participants 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 included in the Room Remediation Plan. 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 6-seat 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.

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) 50x50 cm.
• Install the carpet squares in an aligned “brick” pattern.
Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex System Installation Room Preparation Guide
Polycom, Inc. 22
• 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.
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 to accompany the RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex system are not supplied by Polycom, however, they are offered as an option. 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. Refer to the Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex Technical Specifications for more information.
Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex System Installation Room Preparation Guide
Polycom, Inc. 24
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.
● 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.
