A successful video conference provides
a face-to-face meeting, even if the
participants are miles or continents apart.
Keep in mind that it still is a meeting—
normal etiquette and dress code apply
even here.
General
Consider setting the unit toAutomatic
•
Answer, but mute the microphone for
privacy reasons, if possible.
Do not forget to rehearse “the noble
•
art of operating a video system” to the
extent needed.
In the meeting room
Make sure that you do not experience
•
obstacles blocking the view to the
microphone at all times.
Noise sources like computers placed
•
on the table should always be placed
away from the microphone of your unit.
The noise from such sources is often
perceived as surprisingly loud by the
remote participants.
Pay attention to the background your
•
system will provide to the remote
participants. If the camera captures
the corridor outside your oce, people
passing by may distract your remote
participants. This applies as well to
curtains with a distinct texture pattern
and, in particular, to curtains moving due
to draught in the room.
If you are going to share content you will
•
normally make use of duo video. That
implies the use of two video streams,
one showing the presentation and the
other showing the presenter—or the
group of presenters. Smaller systems
may force you to choose between
showing the presentation or the
presenter.
For duo video some attention is needed.
•
Duo video is sometimes shown side–by–
side with half the screen showing the
presentation and the other half showing
the presenter. Provide the impression
that you seem to look towards the
presentation instead of the impression
that you sit with your back towards it,
when all is viewed on the remote monitor.
If in doubt, look straight into the camera
to avoid this situation.

manner from time to time.
Directory will typically be a corporate
directory installed on your system by
your video support team.
Recents is a list of calls you have
placed, received or missed earlier.
You may clear the Recents list for
privacy reasons, see “Recents” on

About Putting on Hold
Putting someone on hold is typically
something you do as an initial step
when transferring someone to
another person, but it may also be
used when you need to consult a
person or as an alternative to muting
also including stopping the video
transmission.
Change the call rate
by moving the slider,
as outlined.
About Call Rate
Call rate is the term used to express
the amount of bandwidth allocated
to the call and is measured in kbps
(kilobits per second).
The higher the call rate is, the
better the quality will be, but on
the expense of higher bandwidth
consumption.
The system comes with a default
call rate. This is set by your video
support team as a part of the
Administrator Settings (password
protected).
Why would you like to temporarily
change this setting? In most cases
you will use it to avoid choking
the video call when you try to call
someone at a higher rate than their
system and connection support.
Call rate cannot be changed during
a call, but you may change it just
before you place a call, as outlined
here.
In a call you may get prompted to
submit numbers to be able to reach
an extension or otherwise gain
entrance to something (for example
by means of a PIN-code).

About Video Conferences
Your video system may be equipped
with the capability to initiate a video
conference with several participants.
The maximum number of participants
supported by your video system will
depend on system conguration and
the video infrastructure. If in doubt,
contact your video support team.
If you want to initiate a video
conference, you must call each
participant one by one.
If you are the one who initiated the

About Lock speaker
In a video conference with several

Meeting List Basics
Your video system may be connected
to a management system capable
of scheduling video meetings. Any
meetings scheduled will then appear
in a List of Meetings.
The List of Meetings contains a list of
upcoming, meetings scheduled to
take place during the next 14 days
(this setting may have been changed
by your video support team). The
list is sorted using grouping headers.
The main grouping category is by
day (e.g.: TODAY, TOMORROW, then
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 2014 etc).
If you tap an item in the list then
more information will become
available.
When a scheduled meeting appears
as Private meeting it will contain
information about the organizer only.
There will be no title, no expandable
meeting outline as well as no dial-in
information.
If you tap a
meeting in the list
you will see more
about the meeting.
The start and end time of the
scheduled meeting are given in the
expanded meeting information.
Although the default setting lets you join in up to
10 minutes in advance, your video support team
may have implemented a dierent setting.
A scheduled meeting may connect you automatically,
or you may have to tap Join Meeting.
When the meeting starts you will be oered
to join in, to postpone the oer to join in for 5
minutes, or to just dismiss the oer.
About Joining
On your video system the Meeting Reminder will appear once it is
possible to join a meeting. Exactly
when that will be depends on the
Start time buer setting. Default
buer setting is 10 minutes, but

changed this. It is not possible to join
the meeting earlier than the setting
dictates.
The meeting reminder contains
a time indicator stating when the
meeting starts, or alternatively for
how long the meeting has been
going on (an ongoing meeting is
referred to as a Meeting in progress).
The text Starting now will be shown
during a time interval spanning from
30 seconds before to 30 seconds
after the scheduled start time of the
meeting.
Extending an ongoing meeting
Scheduled meetings have a xed start and end time. You may want to extend
an ongoing meeting. This will be accepted by the system if no other meeting
is scheduled for any of the video systems involved, during the period of
possible extension.
If an extension is sustainable, the Meeting will end notication will include an
Extend and a Dismiss option.
To extend a meeting, tap the Extend button.
If you are in a call when the meeting starts you
will also be oered to join in while at the same
time put the current call on hold, just like any
other situation where someone calls you while you
already are in a call.
Whenever Parallel meetings occur
(two or more meetings taking place
simultaneously), the reminder will
be displayed in context of the
meeting list, displaying all upcoming
meetings. Choose which meeting
to join and then join the selected
meeting.
Meetings taking place
simultaneously are referred to as
parallel meetings. The meeting
names used in this example
solely appear to illustrate that the
meetings are parallel meetings.
Contacts consists of three parts;
a Directory, which typically is your
corporate phone book; Recents
which is a list of recent calls and
nally Favorites, which is your
personalized list of people you call
frequently or otherwise need to get
easy access to.
Finding an entry in the Directory by scrolling through the list:
Tap
Contacts,
as outlined.
Finding an entry in the Directory by searching for it:

Tap Search or Dial, as
outlined, to invoke the virtual
keyboard and key in a name,
number or address. Possible
matches will appear as you
type.
About Directory
The Directory serves as your cor-
porate phone book. This directory
cannot be edited by you. You may,
however, copy entries to your list of
Favorites and edit them there.
Tap a folder to show its contents,
scroll, if needed, to locate a folder or
an entry within a folder.
Once located, tap the entry to call,
edit or add to your list of favorites in
the same way as with the Recents
list (see the previous page for more
on this).
When searching within the corporate
Directory, the search will apply to
the current directory folder and its
subfolders only. To go one level up,
tap Back. To make the search apply
to the entire corporate directory, do
not enter (tap) any folder before the
search is commenced.
It may happen that an entry copied
from the directory to the list of favorites later is updated in the directory.
This update will not be reected in
your list of favorites—you must then
manually update the entry in the list
of favorites.
In a video conference with
several participants, tap
the avatar that you want to
add to Favorites.
Tap Add To Favorites,
as outlined.
Edit the
entry, if needed.
About this feature
There are several ways to add
someone to the list of Favorites and
one of them allows you to do this
while in a call.
You may, after a call, realize that
you should have added the one
you were in call with to the list of
Favorites. To do this use Recents
and Add To Favorites from there,
see “Recents” on page 40.
Tap Selfview in the upper
right part of the screen, as
outlined to invoke the selfview,
if needed.
Press and hold your
nger within the selfview
area, as outlined.
As soon as it turns blue
drag the selfview to the
new location. Possible
locations are indicated,
as outlined.
Why Move the Selfview?
The Selfview shows what others see
from your video system. You will
normally use it to conrm that they
see what you want them to see.
The Selfview appears as a PiP
(Picture-in-Picture).
From time to time you may want to
have the Selfview activated during
the meeting. This could, for example,
be to ensure that a lecturer in your
room remains seen on the screen
despite constantly moving around.
It may happen that the current
position of the Selfview blocks
important parts of the image on your
screen. You may therefore want to
move it.
Once you reach the
location you want to
have it in, lift your nger
from the touchscreen.

using the Video DefaultPresentationSource setting. Doing
so is described in the EX90 Administrator Guide which is
available separately for download .
If you choose to use your EX90 as
your PC screen, connect your PC
to the sockets on the rear panel
as shown below left. A resolution
of 1920 × 1200 is recommended.
However, other resolutions may also
be used as shown in the left table.
Your EX90 will then serve as your
PC screen outside calls. In a call tap
View PC to see the desktop. Your
desktop is not exposed to the other

In a call you may view your PC
screen without sharing it with the
remote site(s). If the thumbnail
image showing the other participants
obstructs important parts of your
PC-screen you may move it in the
same way as you may with a PiP
(see “Moving the self-view PiP” on
page 28).
Screen resolution must be set
via the web interface, using the
Video Output HDMI [1] Resolution
setting. For details on this, see the
EX90 Administrator Guide, which is
available separately for download.
Select what shall be the background
image on your Touch Pad and
your screen. Tap on one of the
thumbnails to use that image.
You may use your own image (for
example your company logo). This
image must be uploaded via the
web interface, see the Administrator
guide for more on this (available for
download separately).
Observe that the custom image will
appear on the video screen only and
not on the Touch Pad.
When a custom image is available, a
second choice, Custom background,
will appear (not shown here) to let
you choose that image instead of
the default background images.
If you enable Auto Answer the
system will respond by itself to
incoming calls after a delay specied
by you. Note that an activated auto
answer may not provide you with
the privacy desired. In the example
shown here Auto Answer is set to
O.
On certain occasions you may have
to change the bandwidth (and
hence the quality) of the call. Some
congurations may have dierent
incoming and outgoing bandwidths
(typically ADSL connections), and
you may specify the default call rate
to ensure a stable video quality.
The default protocol may also be
specied. In the example shown, the
protocol has been set to SIP.
Caution! There is no Cancel
function letting you exit the menu
undoing any changes you have
made. Take care!
If the Touch controller is used in
environments with considerable
amounts of electromagnetic noise
present, you may experience an
appearance of false signals—as
if someone tapped the Touch
controller when obviously nobody
did so.
To cope with this you may set the
EMC Resilience Mode to On. You
must then press and hold for a
little while, rather than just tap, in
order to make the system aware of
your tapping. This will prevent the
appearance of spurious signals.
Caution! There is no Cancel
function letting you exit the menu
undoing any changes you have
made. Take care!
Note! Using your video system’s web interface you may
take snapshots of the video stream from your system by
setting Allow Web Snapshots to On.
Observe that the far end may take snapshots of the
outgoing video of your system, even if you have set your
own Allow Web Snapshots to OFF.
Likewise, you may take snapshots of the outgoing video
of the far end, even if the far end has set Allow Web
Snapshots to OFF, provided that you have set your own
system’s Allow Web Snapshots to ON.
About Snapshots
You may gain access to your video
system through its web interface, see
the Administration Guide for more.
From the web interface you may generate snapshots of the video stream
from your system. You may also
generate snapshots from the outgoing
video of the far end system.
However, you cannot take snapshots
unless you have set the Allow Web
Snapshots to ON, as shown here.
Snapshots cannot be taken if the call is
encrypted. Encryption will disable the
snapshot feature at both ends, regardless of the local settings of the Allow
Web Snapshots parameter.
The web snapshot feature applies to
Point-to-Point as well as MultiSite calls
(but to unencrypted calls only).
In this context a MultiWay call should
be regarded as a variant of Pointto-Point call as it is the MCU who is
controlling the call and your system is
connected to the MCU as in a Pointto-Point call.
Caution! There is no Cancel function
letting you exit the menu undoing any
changes you have made. Take care!
Reset your video system. Note that
you will loose all congurations, the
call history and your local list of
contacts (Favorites and Recents).
Release keys and options installed
will be retained.
Caution! There is no Cancel
