Environmental considerations
This section explains how to carry out basic adjustments and simple tests to ensure that you send and receive the best possible image and audio quality when using your Vision 5000.
Iris control and lighting
By default the Vision 5000 camera will use an automatic iris to compensate for changes in lighting. In addition to this feature you may further assist the Vision 5000 to maintain the best possible image quality by paying special attention to environmental lighting and background colours as described below. Remember the Vision 5000 will send live images of yourself and your immediate surroundings.
 Avoid direct sunlight on the subject matter i.e. yourself, the background or onto the camera lens as this
will create harsh contrasts.  If light levels are too low you may need to consider using artificial lighting. As above avoid direct
illumination of the subject matter and camera lens.  When using artificial lighting, daylight type lamps will produce the most effective results. Avoid
coloured lighting.  Indirect light from shaded sources or reflected light from pale walls, often produces excellent results.  Avoid harsh side lighting or strong light from above, for example: strong sunlight from a window or
skylight, as this may put part or all of the subject matter in shadow or cause silhouetting.  If you still have problems with the iris and lighting, manual adjustment of the camera parameters might
help - see Camera adjustments in Video Input menu.  Dim scenes can also be improved by manually adjusting the camera brightness setting.
Background
The appearance of the picture background is very important but easily overlooked. It is important to remember that the camera also shows whats behind you when in a videoconference. To ensure a suitable background we recommend you consider the following:
 Use a neutrally coloured background with a medium contrast and a soft texture, e.g. a plain curtain with
no heavy patterns or strong colours that may adversely tint the whole scene.
19
VISION 5000 Videoconferencing SystemInstallation
 Avoid moving backgrounds, for example: curtains in a draught, moving objects, or people walking behind
you, as this may both reduce image quality and distract the attention of the calling party.  Do not place the camera facing a doorway.
Brightness control
For adjusting brightness, colours or other settings of the TV monitor, you must use the TV monitors own remote control. Adjust the TV monitor to suit the conditions of the conference room.
The TV monitor has an on-screen menu and is very easy to use. For more information on configuring the TV monitor refer to the user manual for that unit.
Loudspeaker volume
The audio system will use the loudspeakers built into the TV monitor or the Natural Audio module (if installed). The volume of the audio system is controlled by the Volume Control keys on the Vision 5000 hand­held remote control.
The default volume level can be set by adjusting the volume on the TV monitor using the TV monitors own remote control.

Guidelines for setting up videoconferencing rooms
The following are a set of guidelines to consider when either building a video conferencing room, or using an existing room for videoconferencing.
Lighting:
- Low Contrast desired for light intensity. No dark spots.
- Intensity @ table 800 - 1400 Lux as measured with an Incident light meter.
- Intensity @ back wall: minimum ½ of that measured at table, Max ¾ of
that measured at table.
- Colour temperature: Depends upon wall color and camera. Typically 3200 -
3600 degrees Kelvin
- Block sunlight from entering room.
Seating Area (Table):
- Should allow all participants to see Monitors.
- Should allow camera to see all participants.
- Should allow participants to see each other.
- Should allow 3 linear feet for each participant.
- Non-shiny non-patterned preferably light grey surface (if table used).
Walls:
- Colour: Depends on participants skin tones, cameras, and lighting.
Generally high contrast colour desired . Light blue is commonly used.
- Acoustically reflective surfaces (such as glass or concrete) should be
covered with curtains or sound treatment.
Audio:
- Noise Floor Maximum 50dBC.
- Noise Floor preferred less than 44dBC.
- Reverb Time .3 to .5 sec.
- Absorption Coefficient .25 to .45.
- No flutter echoes.
Ventilation:
- Keep in mind Noise Floor.
- 300W (1024 BTU/HR) per person.
- 400W (1365 BTU/HR) for equipment.
- 40 W (137 BTU/HR) for each Fluorescent tube (maybe).
- Intake and exhaust should be located near equipment.
- Velocity = Noise. Therefore keep velocity of air low.
Monitor Size:
- Optimal distance from monitor for viewing people is about 7.5 x monitor
size.
- Optimal distance from monitor for viewing documents is about 3.25 x
monitor size.
- Viewing Angle: 45 degrees off axis maximum.
Room:
- Should be located away from Noise
- Should not have windows

How to prepare a typical room for videoconferencing
The diagram below shows a typical room designed to obtain the best results when using the Vision 5000.
The microphone should be placed at the front of the table to ensure that all speech will be detected. The best position for the microphone is at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) in front of the Vision 5000 on a plain, flat table with at least 0.3 meters (12 inches) of table in front of the microphone.
The document camera should be close to the leader or a designated controller of the document camera for ease of use. (Remember to arrange all the peripherals so that one participant can reach each of them to point, change the display, tape, and so forth).
The camera supports up to 15 pre-stored camera positions. The illustration shows three possible camera positions. One of all the participants, one of the whiteboard and one of the main speaker. The remaining presets are then available for other peripheral equipment, for example: a VCR.

Position the Vision 5000 in such a way as to avoid the possibility of somebody inadvertently walking into the cameras field of view when entering the room. Other than the conference participants there should be no moving items in the sent image.

System start-up
Your Vision 5000 should be in standby mode, if so pressing any key will wake up the system.
If the Vision 5000 does not respond: turn on the system by using the On/Off switch located at the rear of the Codec, see figure below. After a few seconds you should see a start-up message on the monitor.
If this does not help, check if your monitor is switched on. To switch your monitor on you normally push the power button in front of the monitor (depending on monitor type).

Basics
The Vision 5000s most commonly used functions are accessible directly from the remote control by single key presses. In addition, the user interface is represented by on-screen boxes which take the form of menus and lists. Individual items within the menus and lists can be selected by moving a white highlighter bar to the desired option. Use the cursor keys (shown below) to move the highlighter bar to the desired option and use the

Getting started
Making and ending calls
Making a call
The Vision 5000 has its own internal software controlled inverse multiplexer, SoftMux and uses Intelligent Call Management (ICM). This enables you to dial to other videoconferencing equipment, phones and
mobile phones without needing to use a prefix. ICM provides you with on-screen, real-time feedback on the progress of a call. You will, when calling to videoconferencing equipment, obtain a connection on as many channels as possible.
External Networks
ICM is not available when using an external IMUX or when connecting via special networks.
Ending a call
Switching off the monitor(s) will not disconnect a call. To disconnect a call you should press the
Video call
To make a video call, enter the number of the unit you wish to call using the Dialling keys and press
Example: 12345678 +
SEND
, 12345678 = Number
ACCEPT
END CALL
key.
SEND
.
The system will, by default, try to connect using 6 channels and BONDING. If the requested number of channels cannot be established, the system will establish a connection on as many channels as possible (some limitations depending on remote system).
The SoftMux supports high reliability and includes the unique Downspeed feature. If channels are dropped during a meeting, Downspeeding automatically maintains the connection without interrupting the call in progress.
If you are calling to a unit that does not support more than 2 channels, the Vision 5000 will connect on 2 channels. When dialling to an analogue telephone, you will also connect without using a prefix. Due to ICM you should never need to use any special prefix.
To force a special number of channels, see Special Call Prefixes.
The default number of channels may be changed , see Advanced ISDN settings in Advanced use.

Camera Tracking
Before using camera tracking, presets P7 (Mic1), P8 (Mic2) and/or P9 (Mic3) must be stored using Video Input #1 as the video source.
Example:
The camera position stored at P7 must be related to Mic1, therefore all participants which are located closest to Mic1 should be included in the P7 camera position etc.
When camera tracking is activated and a person close to Mic1 speaks, P7 will be automatically selected.
If a person close to Mic1 has a conversation with a person close to Mic2, the camera will adjust to a camera position which includes both persons.
Start camera tracking by selecting # in the Video Source menu (see the Selecting video sources section for starting/stopping camera tracking).
When activating another video source (e.g. document camera), camera tracking will temporarily be disabled until you select MainCam or a MainCam preset.

MCU services
A Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) enables several sites to participate in the same conference.
An MCU conference can have different modes: Voice Switched and Continous Presence with or without Chairman control.
Voice Switched means that the image of the person currently speaking will be broadcast to all the other conference participants. This will remain the case until another participant starts to speak. Voice Switched requires a certain amount of discipline from all participants.
Continous Presence shows several participants on the same screen at the same time.
Chairman Control functionality enables one participant to control the meeting by selecting which of the
conference participants is to be broadcast to the other participants.
Tip
During an MCU conference, a status line is displayed by default which provides user information about the conference. To remove this status line, select Utilities, MCU Status Line: Off.

By default, all inputs are enabled. The user just plugs in an audio source and it is active. Audio inputs that are On will automatically be mixed. Select Off to prevent audio/noise from unused inputs or if you want to disable a specific input. The activated audio sources are stored on presets.
Mic 1,2 and 3 are intended for electret type microphones. The microphone inputs are balanced with 24V phantom power.
Audio input 4 is intended for connection to an external microphone amplifier or an external fixed mixer.
External mixer
When using an external mixer, it is very important that this is a fixed mixer; automatic, smart and other types of adaptive mixers will cause malfunction of the echo canceller.
Audio input 5 is intended for connection to external playback devices or to telephone add-on hybrids. As there is no acoustic echo canceller on this input it should not be connected to any microphones. The audio entering this input will be heard from the local speaker.
53
VISION 5000 Videoconferencing SystemAdvanced use
Audio input 6 is intended for connection to a VCR. It can also be connected to other external playback devices. As there is no acoustic echo canceller on this input it should not be connected to any microphones. The audio entering this input will be heard from the local speaker.
Mix Mode
Auto automatically adjusts the weighting of each microphone to obtain the best possible audio and minimizes the background noise. Auto will also attenuate the VCR audio when someone talks into a microphone. Fixed will keep a constant weighting of all microphones.

Adjust the audio input levels according to the parameters of the external audio equipment connected. These levels should be adjusted when installing new audio equipment only. The audio level for the current audio source is displayed in the indicator area. The audio level indicator will make it easier to set correct input level settings. The input level should be adjusted so that the average level reaches the preferred level marker.
The audio inputs are adjustable in steps of 1.5 dB from 0 dB to 22.5 dB.
The default levels for Mic 1,2 and 3 are set for use with an Audio Technica AT871 microphone in an average videoconferencing room. The gain can be adjusted correctly for a wide range of microphones.
A few examples of microphone levels are:
Crown PCC-160 +3dB Audio Technica AT851R +7dB Tandberg Audio Science +12dB
Audio 4, 5 and 6 are set to a default level which is adhered to by most manufacturers of audio-visual equipment and is a level which most audio-visual equipment (CD-players, VCRs) will work at.

Audio out 1 is intended for connection to Tandberg Natural Audio module, televisions or audio amplifiers with loudspeakers.
Audio out 2 is intended for connection to audio recording equipment or to a telephone add-on hybrid. The signal is a mix of audio from both the remote and local side (not from Audio in 5).
Audio out 3 is intended for connection to a VCR or other recording equipment. The signal is a mix of audio from remote side and local side (not from Audio in 6).
NOTE
Never connect audio out 2 or audio out 3 to a loudspeaker placed in the same room as the microphones connected to the system. Doing this will cause howling and possible damage to the speaker system.

Echo Control
========== Echo Control ========== Mic1: Off On On+NR Mic2: Off On On+NR Mic3: Off On On+NR Audio4: Off On On+NR Previous Menu
Each of the 3 microphone inputs and Audio input 4 have a separate echo canceller.
One echo canceller per
input provides more sophisticated control than having one common canceller for all microphones.
Echo control is normally set to On to prevent the remote site from hearing their own audio. Once selected On echo cancellation is active at all times. The echo canceller continously adjusts itself to the audio characteristics of the room and compensates for any changes it detects in the audio environment. If the changes in the audio conditions are very significant the echo canceller may take a few seconds to re-adjust.
You can choose to switch off the echo canceller for the available audio sources.
Echo Control
Echo Control should be switched OFF if external echo cancellation or playback equipment is used. Audio 5 and 6 do not have echo cancellation since these inputs are intended for audio playback equipment.
It is your echo canceller that improves the audio quality experienced by the other site. When you hear an echo of your own audio it is most likely the remote sites echo canceller that is malfunctioning.
Noise Reduction
In addition to echo cancellation the system has built in noise reduction algorithms (NR).
NR reduces constant background noise (e.g. noise from air-conditioning systems, cooling fans etc.). In addition, a highpass filter (Humfilter) reduces very low frequency noise.
Choose On+NR to activate both Echo Control and Noise Reduction.

Advanced use
AGC Settings
========== AGC Settings ========== Mic1-3,Audio4: Off On Audio5(AUX): Off On Audio6(VCR): Off On Received Audio: Off On Previous Menu
Select On to allow automatic adjustments (Automatic Gain Control) of audio levels. When On, the AGC maintains the audio signal level at a fixed value by attenuating strong signals and amplifying weak signals. Very weak signals, i.e. noise alone, will not be amplified.
Example: In most conferences, the participants will speak at different levels, and be at different distances from the microphones. As a result, some of the participants will be harder to hear than others. The AGC corrects this problem by automatically increasing the mic levels when quiet or distant people speak, and by decreasing the mic levels when louder people speak.
Important
To ensure correct behaviour of the AGC, it is crucial that the levels on the input connectors are adjusted correctly using the audio input level settings. The AGC will not compensate for severe misadjustment of input levels.
When applying a weak signal in the presence of strong background noise, the leveller might amplify the background noise as well as the signal. Therefore, in noisy environments, it is advisable to turn the leveller off.
Tips for improving the echo canceller performance:
 Place all microphones as far as possible from the loudspeaker. Minimum loudspeaker-microphone distance
should be 2 meters.
 Place all microphones as close as possible to the persons speaking. By using several microphones, the ratio
distance loudspeaker-to-mic/mic-to-speaker can be increased. Increasing this ratio improves the
echo canceller performance.  Place all microphones as far as possible from noise sources.  Reduce the volume setting. Ensure that the loudspeaker does not distort the audio.  The echo canceller tries to estimate the echo path from the speaker system to the microphones. Moving objects
change this path, therefore avoid moving objects. Be especially aware of large objects and objects placed close
to either the microphone or the speaker system as these objects will cause severe changes to the echo path.
57
VISION 5000 Videoconferencing SystemAdvanced use
 Avoid putting paper sheets etc. on the microphone.  Avoid moving the microphone or loudspeaker.  In the event of poor echo cancelling, allow the canceller to adapt. After each change, the echo canceller
requires a few seconds to adapt. Do not change settings etc. without allowing the canceller to adapt to
the new settings.  In the presence of low frequency noise, enable the noise reduction (NR).
Alert Tones & Volume
======= Alert Tones & Volume ====== Video Call Alert Tone: A B C D E F Telephone Alert Tone: A B C D E F Alert Volume (0=min): ||| 8 Alert Speaker: Off On Previous Menu
To help distinguish between incoming video calls and ordinary telephone calls, different ringing tones may be selected. You may also select different volume levels for the ringing tone.
Alert Speaker
The Vision 5000 also has an internal, call alerting speaker. When selected On the internal speaker will warn you of an incoming call even though the monitor may not be switched on.
Restore Audio Defaults
There are many audio settings. It is easy for the user to configure the codec to be unusable. Therefore it is possible to set all audio settings back to default settings by using Restore Audio Defaults.

Previous Menu
IMUX default prefix
When using an external IMUX to make a call, you should specify a prefix which informs the IMUX of how to make the call (which protocol to use, number of channels etc.) in the absence of a user dialled prefix.
Example: To make a call using an Ascend Multiband VSX IMUX, you could use the following prefixes:
Prefix Call Type
#008 8B call (BONDING) #003 3B call (BONDING) #006 6B call (BONDING) #002 2B call (BONDING) #005 5B call (BONDING) #001 2B call (H.221) #004 4B call (BONDING)
The default prefix is chosen to be #001, a call on 2 B-channels. If you want to change the default prefix, insert the same prefix at both Net1 and Net2.
Restrict offset
When using the # after the number, the restrict offset will be added to the prefix used. This means that if you want to make a 6 channel call to a 56 kbps network you should dial #006<number>#. If the restrict offset is 10, this is equivalent to dialing #016<number>.

TCP/IP Settings
========= TCP/IP Settings ========== IP-assignment: DHCP Static IP-address: ___.___.___.___ IP-subnet mask: ___.___.___.___ Gateway: ___.___.___.___ Previous Menu
IP-assignment
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) can be selected when a DHCP server is present. When using DHCP, IP-address and IP-subnet mask is not used because these parameters are assigned by the DHCP server. When using DHCP the IP address given is displayed in the boot-up text and in Test Subsystem.
If Static is selected, the codecs IP-address and IP-subnet mask must be specified in the IP-address field.
IP-address
A IP-address defines the network address of the codec and is defined by 4 numbers in the range of 0-255. This address is only used in static mode. The IP-address can be found in the boot-up text.
Note
The IP-address and IP-subnet mask entries will be greyed out when IP-assignment is set to DHCP and are then not valid.
IP-subnet mask
A IP-subnet mask defines the type of network and is defined by 4 numbers in the range 0-255. This address is only used in static mode.
If the setting is 255.255.255.0 the local network can have 256 nodes. This is a class C network.
If the setting is 255.255.0.0 the local network can have 65536 nodes. This is a class B network.
Gateway
When using DHCP, the default gateway should automatically be set. If the LAN utilizes static IPs, an IP number, subnet mask, and default gateway must be specified by the LAN administrator.
