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.

3.2.2 Selfview

General Use

The term “Selfview” means the outgoing image. In a normal call using the main camera, this is the image of you. The Selfview button toggles the images between Far End, Selfview and Dual Video (if any).

How to use Selfview:

1. Outside a call, pressing the Selfview button will switch between the near end video and a black screen/logo on the main monitor.

2. In a point to point call, press the Selfview button once to switch from far end video to near end video to see a full screen picture of the outgoing video. Press Selfview again to go back to normal.

3. In a point to point call with a dual video stream, the dual stream is displayed in the big picture. Press the Selfview button to toggle to the Near End picture, then the Far End picture, and finally back to the dual stream.

The above behavior is similar for both single monitor systems and dual monitor systems. Selfview applies to the main monitor.

3.2.2.1 Local PC Display

When using the screen as your PC screen, it is recommended to set Local PC Display to On, see

Screen Settings

videoconference and you can keep on working without having the Far End participant viewing your PC screen.

Note that this applies to single monitor systems only.

It is also recommended to keep the Auto Layout setting On (default) to get a suitable layout when toggling from Local PC Display mode to standard conference mode.

Use the Selfview button to toggle between Local PC Display mode and standard videoconference mode. An indicator tells you that your PC image is displayed locally.

. That implies that you can display your PC locally while having a

TANDBERG 1500 MXP

Example:

You are using the system as a PC and get an incoming call.

When the setting “Use Screen as Local PC monitor” is On, you will keep your PC image displayed locally and the incoming call pops up in a PIP or as smaller images in a 1+3 layout, depending on your system. You will see Local PC displayed in the big picture and Far End and/or Near End (your self) displayed in smaller pictures.

Press the Selfview button to switch to standard conference mode. The Local PC image is no longer displayed and Far End is displayed in the big picture or full screen. Press Selfview again to see Near End. Pressing Selfview a third time will bring back the Local PC display mode.

3.2.3 Layout

General Use

The layout of the screen can either be shown as Picture in Picture (PIP) or Picture outside Picture (POP) when displaying more than one video image. The behavior of the Layout button is dependent on the Picture Layout setting in Screen Settings

3.2.3.1 Picture in Picture

When Picture Layout is set to PIP, the Layout button makes it possible to see a second image in a smaller view in one of the corners of the screen. The second image will be placed on top of the main image. The user can decide in which corner the second image is to be displayed.

3.2.3.2 Picture outside Picture

When Picture Layout is set to POP, the Layout button makes it possible to see up to three images in a composition optimized for wide screens. The second image can be displayed either as a side-by-side the main image (1+1) or smaller images next to the main image (1+2 and 1+3).

Press the Layout button once to get side-by-side view (1+1). Press again to get the layouts 1+2 and 1+3, and finally go back to full screen view. You can also go back to full screen directly by pressing and holding Layout for 1 second. It is recommended to use Picture outside Picture for wide screen monitor systems.

3.2.3.3 Auto Layout

The system will automatically choose the best layout for your call. The layouts vary depending on how many participants there are and if you use a dual video source or not. You can however always change layout manually with the Layout button. Auto Layout applies when you open or close a dual stream, or add or disconnect participants.

Auto Layout also includes the former automatic PIP. That implies that PIP will automatically be shown when suitable, e.g. to display selfview when you move your near end camera. The automatic PIP times out after a couple of seconds.

If Auto Layout is Off you will get no automatic layout changes during a call and the user must manually control the images with the Layout button. Auto Layout is default On. To turn Auto Layout Off, go to Screen Settings

TANDBERG 1500 MXP

3.2.4 Mic Off

To mute the microphone during a call, press the Mic off button. An on-screen indicator appears in the upper right corner when the microphone is off. In a call, if audio is detected, the on-screen symbol will start to flash. Pressing the Mic off button one more time will activate the microphone again.

Note that Mic off will mute all microphone inputs, but will not mute audio from the AUX and VCR inputs.

When an incoming call is answered, the microphone may be in the off state because the Auto Answer setting is On+Mic off, see Auto Answer. The icon will start to flash when you start speaking. Remember to turn the microphone on before a meeting.

3.2.5 Volume + and -

General Use

Press the Volume key to adjust the volume level. An on-screen indicator will show the current level.

TANDBERG 1500 MXP

3.2.6 Number and Letter keys

Pressing a number key when outside a call will bring up the call menu. When in a call, the number keys are used for Camera Presets. Press a number and go to the corresponding Camera Preset (see Camera Presets). However, when accessing an input field where numbers are required, the system automatically goes to number mode and numbers can be dialed with the number keys as usual.

When accessing an input field where letters are required, the system automatically goes to letter mode. Writing letters works like on a mobile phone. Press the key that corresponds to your desired letter. Press the key as many times as needed to get the right letter. Change to lower or back to upper case letters with the a/A key, and space with the 0 _ key.

To write numbers in a text input field, press the button through all the letters. Press once more and the number will appear.

Example: How do I write "System 123" in the System Name input field (in General in Administrator Settings)?

Press the 7-key four times to get an "S". Press the #-key once to switch between upper case and lower case letters. Press the 9-key three times to get a "y". Press the 7-key four times to get an "s". Press the 8-key once to get a "t". Press the 3-key twice to get an "e". Press the 6-key once to get an "m". Press the 0-key once to get space. Press the 1-key three times to get a "1".

4. Press Streaming Settings if you want to change streaming settings (see Streaming Settings below)

How to view streaming from a PC:

1. After streaming is started, an easy way to view the streamed audio/video is to start your Web browser and enter the IP-address of the streaming system.

2. After the Web page of the system is shown, click on Streaming. Alternatively, enter http://<codec/ip-address>/showstream.ssi

Streaming Settings

Address

Address Port

TTL/Router Hops

Address is defined as the IP-address of a streaming client, streaming server or a multicast address. Giving an address in the range 224.0.0.1-

239.255.255.255 will broadcast the stream to any host that has joined the specified multicast group. Specifying normal broadcast address

255.255.255.255 will broadcast to any members on the LAN.

If several codec’s are streaming to the same IP-address, different ports have to be used in order for the client to know which stream to receive. If the first codec streams on port 2240 and the second codec on port 2250, the client has to specify which port to listen to. Video is transmitted on the specified port; audio is transmitted on the port number 4 greater than the specified video port, in this case 2244 and

2254.

This is used for streaming data to limit how many routers the data should pass before it is rejected. If TTL is set to 2, data will not traverse more than 2 router hops.
