10
Camera
The built-in camera includes a high quality colour camera with a fast pan/tilt/zoom action. The camera is controlled by the system’s infra-red remote control and operates pan/tilt, focus and zoom.
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 a remote site and the decompression of the incoming information. Hence the name Codec. Intelligent Call Management (ICM) and the SoftMux are features built into the Codec.
Remote control
The remote control is used to control all functions of the system. There is a separate remote control for operating the monitor.
Table microphone
The high quality table microphone is specially designed to be used on a table during a video conference.
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.

19
Getting started
Making and ending calls
Making a call
To make a call, enter the number or the IP-address of the unit you wish to call using the Dialing keys and press CONNECT.
ISDN call
The system will, by default, try to connect using Quality: Auto (see table overleaf). If the requested quality (bandwidth) cannot be established, the system will establish a connection on as high quality as possible.
The SoftMux ensures high reliability and includes the unique Downspeeding feature. If channels are dropped during a meeting, Downspeeding automatically maintains the connection without interrupting the call in progress. The SoftMux also enables you to dial to other videoconferencing equipment, phones and mobile phones in the same way and provides you with on-screen, real-time feedback on the progress of a call.
LAN call
To make a call via a LAN, enter an IP-address by using a * as the ‘dot’ in the IP-address, e.g. 123*3*0*12 will be interpreted as 123.3.0.12. If a gatekeeper is present, you may place IP-calls using “telephone-style” numbers (an E.164 alias), according to the numbering plan implemented in the gatekeeper. The dialed number will then be translated into an IP-address by the gatekeeper.
connect
20
TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemGetting started
TIP
Access Code
If the system requires an Access Code, enter the code and press OK to proceed making a call:
Using sub-address / extension address / MCU password
To specify an ISDN sub-address or its LAN equivalent extension address (TCS-4), add a star (*) after the number and then enter the sub-address/extension address.
Example: 12345678*10 ( <number>*<Sub-address/extension address/MCU password>)
When calling to external MCU’s requiring a password (TSC-1), this password can be added after the star (*). If no password is specified, a menu will prompt you to enter the password (after connected to the MCU).
SUB-ADDRESS IS USED TO ADDRESS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ON THE SAME ISDN LINE. TCS-4 IS USED TO ADDRESS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ON A LAN, WHEN DIALING IN VIA A GATEWAY.
