1. Camera - The built-in camera is a high quality imaging device which transmits
images to the screen/monitor. The camera movements are controlled by a wireless
infra red (IR) remote that controls a variety of functions, both on the near and far end.
2. Codec - The codec is the central part of the videoconferencing equipment. The main
task of the codec is the compression of outgoing video, audio and data, the
decompression of the incoming information and the transmission of this information
between endpoints. The name codec comes from a combination of the two words
compression and decompression.
3. Microphone - The microphone is built into the Tandberg 1700 and the system will
automatically equalize sound levels so that loud and soft voices are picked up and
transmitted to the far end at approximately the same level.
4. Screen/Monitor - The screen/monitor displays the far end or the near end image.
5. Inputs – The video conference system can be used for video conferences only or it
can be used as both a video conference unit and a monitor for a pc or laptop
depending on user preference. The inputs at the back of the unit allow you to choose
your preferred set up.

6. Remote Control - The remote control is used to place calls, adjust the volume,
navigate screens and select options. It controls all functions of the videoconferencing
equipment. When the remote control is not in use, it should be secured in a safe
place so it does not get misplaced, the equipment will not function without it.
