TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

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.

Getting started

System start-up

Your system should be in standby mode. When in standby mode, pressing any key or picking up the remote control will wake up the system. An incoming call will also wake up the system.

If the system does not respond, make sure the system is switched on by using the On/Off switch located at the rear of the Codec. After a few seconds you should see the ‘Welcome’ menu on the monitor.

If this does not help, verify that your monitor is switched on. To switch the monitor on you normally push the power button on the front of the monitor (depending on monitor type).

Welcome menu

After the system has performed a self-test routine, product logo and a ‘Welcome’ menu will be displayed on the monitor. This menu should provide you with the most important system information. The three color-coded commands shown correspond with the Quick keys on the remote control. This means that to make a call, you can press the green quick-key.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemGetting started

Basics

The system’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 menus. Individual items within the menus and lists can be selected by moving a white highlighter bar to the desired option.

Quick Keys

The three buttons on top of the remote control refer to the blocks at the bottom of the screen. The text inside the blocks will change depending on which menu is selected. The three Quick Keys have different colors.

Preset keys

Activate pre-stored camera positions.

Video source keys

Activate connected video sources.

Camera control and menu navigation keys

Frequently used keys allowing you to control your own camera and the far end camera, control your volume, select and move self-view, switch your microphone off and navigate in the menu system.

Dialing keys / Preset keys

Used to make a call. The twelve number keys, (0-9), #, * operate in the same way as on a modern push-button telephone. These buttons are also used when entering a name into a text field.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

Getting started

Making and ending calls

Making a call

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.

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.

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.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemGetting started

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.

TIP

TCS-4 IS USED TO ADDRESS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ON A LAN, WHEN DIALING IN VIA A GATEWAY.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

Selecting / setting default quality (bandwidth)

MultiSite (MCU)*

The system has a built-in multipoint conference unit (MCU), MultiSite, which has the capability to establish meetings with up to 4 video sites (5 if at least one site is a telephone call, ISDN/analogue/mobile).

The video calls in a conference must be connected using the same bandwidth.

A conference can consist of any combination of ISDN/

LAN sites.

It is possible to have telephone meetings with up to 5 participants.

The MultiSite supports both Voice Switched and

Continuous Presence mode (see ‘MCU Services’ in ‘Advanced use’ for description of these modes).

Establishing a conference is done by first making a call to one site. When a call is established with the first site, the other sites are connected one by one.

It is possible to either dial out to the sites or the sites can dial in to the MultiSite.

Both ISDN, IP and mixed ISDN/IP conferences can be

encrypted if all systems supports encryption.

SEE ‘UTILITIES’, ‘CONTINUOUS PRESENCE’ TO CHANGE MODE.

TIP

For encrypted calls, there is a maximum bandwidth of 768 Kbps for the whole conference. This means that a 3 site conference will have a maximum bandwidth of 384Kbps per connection, while a 4 site conference will have a maximum bandwidth of 256 Kbps per connection.

Mic 1 and 2 are intended for electret type microphones. The microphone inputs are balanced with 11V phantom power.

Audio input 3 is intended for connection to 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.

Audio input 4 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 source connected to this input will be heard from the local speaker. If ‘Auto’ is selected, the audio from the VCR will only be heard when VCR is selected as video source.

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 level when someone talks into a microphone. ‘Fixed’ will maintain a constant weighting for all microphones.

Adjust the audio input levels according to which external audio equipment is connected. The on-screen audio level indicator will make it easier to set the 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 and 2 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:

Audio Technica AT871 +3dB (default with system) Audio Technica AT851R +7dB TANDBERG Audio Science +19.5dB

If an output is ‘Off’, no audio will be sent to that output.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemAdvanced use

Echo Control

Each of the 2 microphone inputs 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 far end from hearing their own audio. Once selected, 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 second or two to re-adjust.

You can choose to switch off the echo canceller for the available audio sources.

NOTE

ECHO CONTROL SHOULD BE SWITCHED ‘OFF’ IF EXTERNAL ECHO CANCELLATION OR PLAYBACK EQUIPMENT IS USED. IT IS YOUR ECHO

Noise Reduction

In addition to echo cancellation, the system has built-in noise reduction (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.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

Room Size

This setting allows optimization of the echo canceller to the acoustic size of the room. Hard walls, many windows etc. might require higher settings than expected. Carpets, curtains etc. might require lower settings. Adjust the setting (NOTE: on the far end) if one of the following symptoms occur:

Advanced use

• There is still some echo of your own audio. Increase the setting.

• The system adapts slowly to acoustic changes in the room. Decrease the setting.

After a change, the system will need a few seconds to re-adjust.

Motion

If you experience echo caused by movements in the room, increase the value.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemAdvanced use

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Settings

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 would be harder to hear than others. The AGC corrects this problem by automatically increasing the microphone levels when “quiet” or “distant” people speak, and by decreasing the microphone levels when “louder” people speak.

NOTE

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 AGC might amplify the background noise as well as the signal. Therefore, in noisy environments, it is advisable to turn the AGC off.

Tips for improving the echo canceller performance:

• Place all microphones as far as possible from the loudspeaker. Minimum loudspeaker-microphone distance should be 1 meter.

• 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. Avoid distances above two meters from any participant to his/her closest microphone. If necessary, use several microphones. Also avoid placing microphones less than one meter from any person.

• Place all microphones as far as possible from noise sources.

• Reduce the volume setting. Ensure that the loudspeaker does not distort the audio.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

• The echo canceller tries to estimate the echo path from the speaker system to the microphones. Moving objects change this path, therefore try to 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.

• 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 the settings without allowing the echo canceller to adapt to the new audio environment.

• In the presence of low frequency noise, enable the noise reduction (NR).

Encryption (Secure Conference)*

Auto The system will try to set up calls using encryption.

Point to point calls: If the far end system supports encryption, the call will be encrypted. If not, the call will proceed without encryption.

ISDN MultiSite calls: In order to have encrypted MultiSite calls on ISDN, all sites must support encryption. The padlock symbol will indicate encryption mode (AES* or DES).If there is a mix of AES* and DES encryption, only the symbol for DES encryption (single padlock) will be displayed.

IP MultiSite calls: Sites supporting encryption will be encrypted and sites not supporting encryption will not be encrypted. The padlock symbol will be shown on the MultiSite if all sites support encryption. The padlock symbol will be shown on the site connected to the MultiSite if this connection to the MultiSite is encrypted.

If the far end supports encryption, the systems will initiate encryption after the call is connected (an ‘open padlock’ symbol will be displayed). When encryption has been established, a ‘closed padlock’ symbol will be displayed.

Off The system will not send or receive encrypted data.

Technical encryption information like encryption algorithm and encryption check code can be found in the ‘Call Status’ menu.

Encryption Mode

Auto The system will try to use the most secure encryption - AES*, dependent on the capabilities of the

other sites. If AES* encryption is not supported by all the other sites, DES encryption will be tried.

AES* The system will try to use AES* with 128 bits encryption when setting up ISDN or IP calls. If AES* is

not supported by all other sites, no other type of encryption will be initiated.

DES The system will always try to set up the call using DES with 56 bits encryption on ISDN and IP. If

DES is not supported by all other sites, no other type of encryption will be initiated.

BOTH AES* AND DES ENCRYPTION IS SUPPORTED FOR MIXED ISDN/IP CALLS. IN ADDITION AES* -AND DES ENCRYPTED SITES CAN BE

Max Call Length

This feature will automatically end both incoming and outgoing calls when the call time exceeds the ‘Max Call Length’ specified.

Max Call Length can have the following values: 0-999(minutes), where 0 is Off.

A few minutes before the specified time is reached, a Quick-Key menu will appear. Users will be asked if he/she wants to extend the specified ‘Max Call Length’:

Network Profiles

This menu defines the settings listed when pressing the Quick key ‘Net:’ while in the dial menu.

This menu consists of 6 network profiles, a prefix can be added for each profile. If you add a prefix to a profile, this prefix will automatically be added to the number being dialed.

EXAMPLE: 0 IS ADDED AS A CALL PREFIX TO THE 2ND PROFILE, ISDN. IF YOU ENTER 12345678 IN THE DIAL MENU AND SELECT ‘ISDN’, THE

NUMBER DIALED WILL BE 012345678.

Using the three last profiles you can enter the name of a profile, prefix and network selection. This is useful if you have a fixed prefix for your service provider.
