Thank you for buying a product, which contributes to a reduction in pollution, and thereby helps
save the environment. Our products reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby reduce
pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper)
and low energy consuming products.
Battery handling
Batteries for the Remote Control are Long Life and Alkaline batteries saving the environment;
please follow guidelines on the packing material for handling and disposal of the batteries.
Waste handling
There is no need to send any products or material back to TANDBERG as there are no
consumables to take care of. Please contact your local dealer for information on local waste
handling and recycling of electronic products.
Production of products
Our factories employ the most efficient environmental methods for reducing waste and pollution
and ensuring the products are recyclable.
Digital User Manuals
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that it has replaced the printed versions of its User Manuals
with a digital CD version. Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one CD which
can be used with all TANDBERG products, in a variety of languages. The environmental benefits
of this are significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper are huge. A simple webbased search feature helps users directly access the information they need. In addition, the
TANDBERG video systems now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a
range of useful features and tips. If desired, the user manuals on the CD can still be printed
locally.

1.1 At a Glance
TANDBERG 6000 MXP Profile Wall Mount TANDBERG 6000 MXP Profile Roll About
WAVE II Camera
The main camera is mounted on top of the product. 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
infrared remote control and operates pan/tilt, focus and zoom. Up to fifteen camera positions can
be pre-stored using Camera Presets.
14
Introduction
Monitors
The main monitor displays the far-end and near-end videoconferencing sites in addition to the
menus and video from connected video sources.
Note that the TANDBERG 6000 MXP Profile is shipped with different monitors depending on
product variants; there are two different variants of the system: 43”, which has a 43” monitor and
the 50” variant, which has a 50” monitor. Hence, the 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.
Column and Base
The Roll About system is easily movable due to large wheels and handles, at the back of the
monitor. The codec is located inside the bracket assembly behind the monitor. Inside the column
assembly, there is room for additional equipment, e.g. a VCR or a DVD player.
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 (65 ft). For users sitting in an open plan office,
this can cause problems. Use the little, white switch placed in the batteries compartment to
change the reach of the signal from 20 meters to 2 meters (6.5 ft). This will prevent you from
unintentionally controlling another video system, when you control your own system.
15
TANDBERG 6000 MXP Profile
Microphone
The high quality table microphone is designed to be placed on a table during a videoconference.
Up to three microphones can be connected. The ideal location for the microphone is on a flat
surface at least 2m (6.5 ft) from the front of the system. The system will automatically equalize
sound levels. Loud and soft voices are picked up and transmitted to the far end at approximately
the same level.
Digital Natural Audio Module (DNAM)
The Digital Natural Audio Module (DNAM) is designed to enhance the audio quality during a
videoconference. The DNAM provides natural sounding audio, as if the person or another sound
source in the conference is present in the same room as you.
The DNAM is a frequency-compensated sound system optimized for voice and other sounds that
appears in modern videoconferencing. It is designed and dedicated specifically for
videoconferencing requirements. The use of the highest quality speaker elements as well as
proper amplifier- and software techniques minimizes signal distortion. The monitor- or television
speakers are disabled, and the sound is completely handled by the DNAM. The system will
automatically detect the DNAM and optimize the audio output. Once detected the audio output
will be in digital format (S/PDIF). The DNAM supports both analog and digital input.
The DNAM amplifier is mounted below the speaker cabinet.
TANDBERG Tracker
The tracker is a small infrared remote control device made
to steer the camera to any desired location within the
room. Typically, several trackers would be used with each
system.
Each tracker has two buttons:
One Single person button to point the camera at a
specific person/location.
One Group button to point the camera at all
participants.
Beneath the battery in the tracker, there is a switch, which
can be set to 16 different positions between 0 and F. For
16
camera preset 10 to 15, the numbers A to F should be
selected.
For more information, contact your local TANDBERG
representative.

22
2.2 Connecting Cables
Installation
All cables needed in standard configuration are already connected to the codec. Connect these
cables to their respective parts of the system.
1. Power cables
Connect the power cable to an electrical distribution socket.
2. Monitor cables
Connect the DVI cable to the input on your monitor.
3. Microphone cables
Connect the microphone cable to the microphones.
4. Camera cable

also the control cable labeled “Camera Control” between the RJ-45 on the camera, and the
Dataport 2 on the codec.
5. PC cable
Connect the PC cable to the PC.
6a. ISDN cables - using BRI interface
Connect the ISDN cables to the ISDN sockets (S/T interface) provided by the network provider.
The main ISDN number will be that number associated with the socket to which ISDN cable
number 1 has been connected.
Note! The system does not have a built-in network terminator. If wall socket provides an
ISDN U-interface, an NT1 between your system and the ISDN line is needed, see Appendix
10 for more information.
6b. ISDN cable - using the PRI interface
If using the PRI interface, the E1/T1 cable should be connected to a CSU (Channel Service Unit).
