1.1 At a Glance

Camera
The Main Camera is mounted on top of the monitor. The Main Camera includes a high quality color camera with a fast pan/tilt/zoom action. The Main Camera is controlled by the system’s infra-red remote control and operates pan/tilt, focus and zoom.
Monitor
The monitor displays the far-end and near-end videoconferencing sites in addition to the menus.
Codec
The Codec is the heart of the system. The main task for the Codec 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. -Hence the name Codec; 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.
6
1 Introduction
The remote control uses 4 AAA batteries. The system will tell you when batteries are running low. Change batteries from the backside of the remote control.
The reach of the remote control signal is 20 meters. For users 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 your neighbor's 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.
