CAUTION!
Avoid displaying the same images continuously over a long period of time on the monitors.
Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two cases:
1. After image lagging due to remaining electrical load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still images and the time they had been displayed.
2. After-image lagging due to sticking
When images of the same pattern are displayed continuously for several hours or displayed for a short period of time every day, after-images may remain on the screen due to the sticking of the fluorescent materials. In this case, these images may decrease if moving images are displayed after them, but basically they will not disappear.
Solving after-image lagging problems
If you have got after-image lagging on your monitors, you can reduce the problem to an acceptable level by displaying a white image on the monitors for a few hours. This can be accomplished by focusing the camera towards a white paper and setting maximum brightness. See the ‘User Manual’ for details.
NOTE: Warranty may be invalidated if the precautions listed above are not followed.

MultiSite*
The embedded MultiSiteTF functionality can cater for up to 6 video sites and 5 audio sites and supports screen layouts such as VoiceSwitched, AutoSplit, 4 Split and 5+1 Split. TFThe MultiSite functionality supports any combination of ISDN and IP participants in a conference.
A superior quality and reliability is ensured by:
 Supporting DuoVideo/H.239, encryption and H.264.  Rate matchingTF and TranscodingTF which supports different call rates for all sites in a
MultiSite.
The TANDBERG videoconferencing system can also be used purely as an audio-bridge (with an ISDN connection).
Presentations
The Natural Presenter Package* (NPP) makes it possible to run presentations and comprises:
 Digital ClarityTF which provides presentations of exceptionally high quality resolution video.  Duo VideoTF/H.239 which allows participants at the far end to simultaneously watch a
presenter on one screen and a live presentation on the adjoining screen.
 PC PresenterTF which is an easily accessible PC connection over a wired VGA cable that
supports up to SXGA resolution.
 PC SoftPresenterTF which shows PC images via the LAN connection supporting XGA
resolution.

1.1 At a Glance
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. You can pre-store up to fifteen camera positions 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. The second monitor displays selfview, Snapshots and Duo Video.
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 - 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 sitting in an open plan office, this can cause problems. Use the little, white switch placed under the batteries to change the reach of
15
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.
Table microphone
The high quality table microphone is designed to use on a table during a videoconference. You can connect up to three microphones. The ideal location for the microphone is on a flat surface at least 2m (6.5 ft) from the front of the system. The microphone cable should always point towards 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
The Digital Natural Audio Module (DNAM) is designed to enhance audio quality during a videoconference. The DNAM provides natural sounding audio - as if the person, or another sound source, in 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. Use of the highest quality speaker elements as well as proper amplifier- and software techniques minimizes signal distortion.
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 is mounted in the bottom of the system, below the speaker cabinet.

Introduction
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 camera preset 10 to 15, the numbers A to F should be selected.
For more information, contact your local TANDBERG representative.

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 behaviour of the Layout button is dependent on the Picture Layout setting in Administrator Settings - General - Screen Settings, see 4.1.8 Screen Settings.
3.2.3.1 Picture in Picture
With 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.
PIP will always appear on the main monitor. Automatic PIP is the system's default setting. That implies that PIP will automatically be shown
when suitable, see 4.3 Presentation Settings for more details. How to use Layout with Picture in Picture:
1. Press Layout once to bring up a PIP.
2. Press Layout again to move it around in the corners of the screen and finally hide it.
3. Pressing and holding Layout for 1 second will hide the small picture directly from any position.
Example of PIP

When 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 small image next to the main image, or side-by-side the main image.
Press once to get an extra picture in a smaller view. Press twice to get side-by-side view. Press again to 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.
35
How to use Layout button with POP:
1. Press the Layout button to get the 1+3 layout. The far end image will be displayed as the main video, with the near end, usually the user of the system, as a smaller image in the upper right corner. If Duo Video / H.239 is used, the Duo Video image is displayed as the main image and the far end and near end as smaller images to the right, see figure below for an example.
2. Press the Layout button again to see the images side-by-side, e.g. 1+1 layout, where the far end and near end are displayed as images of equal size, see figure below.
3. The third time the Layout button is pressed, the normal full screen view of the far end is displayed..
4. Pressing and holding Layout for 1 second will always bring you back to full screen.
Note that if both TV monitor format and VGA format is set to Normal, the system will skip the 1+3 layout, which is not beneficial for 4:3 monitors.

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>/stream.sdp
Streaming Settings
Address
Address Port
TTL/Router Hops
Streaming Source
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 above 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.
