TANDBERG 1500 MXP

1.1 At a Glance

Camera

The high quality color main camera is mounted on top of the monitor. The main camera is controlled manually.

Monitor

The monitor displays the far-end and near-end videoconferencing sites in addition to the menus.

Note that the monitor pictures/drawings used in this manual might differ from the actual monitor model shipped with the system.

Codec

The codec is the heart of the system. Its main task is the compression of outgoing video, audio and data, the transmission of this information to the far end and the decompression of the incoming information - the name codec comes from a combination of the two words compression and decompression.

Remote Control

The remote control is used to control all functions of the system. If the screen saver is activated (black monitor), touching the remote control will automatically wake up the system. The remote control uses 4 AAA batteries. The system will tell you when batteries are running low. Change the batteries at the back of the remote control.

The reach of the remote control signal is 20 meters. For users

Introduction

sitting in an open plan office, this can cause problems. Use the little, white switch placed under the batteries to change the reach of the signal from 20 meters to 2 meters. This will prevent you from unintentionally controlling another video system, when you control your own system.

Microphone

The microphone is integrated in the rubber foot supporting the front of the codec. This is an ideal location for the high quality voice pickup needed during a videoconference. Sound reaches the microphone through a small hole in the rubber. Care should be taken not to cover up the hole, as this may lead to deterioration of sound quality. Any liquid spilled should be cleaned up immediately to avoid damage to the microphone.

1.2 Menu Structure

The menu structure is divided into two parts. The Main Menu is available for all users and contains all the functionality of the system. The Administrator Menu contains all the settings of the system. The Administrator Settings are accessible from the Main Menu by selecting Control Panel and Administrator Settings. Making changes to the Administrator Settings will change the behavior of the system. The menu structure for Main Menu and Administrator Settings is shown below.

Introduction

Note that the system features and menu settings may vary depending on network selection and software package.
