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.

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.
1 Introduction
9
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. -Hence the name Codec; 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 batteries from the backside 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 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
TANDBERG 8000 MXP
10
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 DNAM amplifier is mounted in the bottom of 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 camera preset 10 to 15, the numbers A to F should be selected.
For more information, contact your local TANDBERG representative.

2.1 Unpacking and Mounting
Unpacking the System
To avoid damage to the unit during transportation the system is delivered as separate components:
 Base  Monitor Frame  Two Plasma Monitors
Together with the Base you will find the monitor connector units, the monitor rear covers and the accessories box which will contain the following:
 W.A.V.E. II Camera  Three Table Microphones  Remote Control and Tracker with batteries  Cables  Documentation
Unpacking the Base
Due to the weight of the system, the base should be placed in its permanent location as soon as it is unpacked.
Unpacking and Installing the Monitor Frame
Lift the monitor frame out of the box. Do not remove the straps or packaging that are around the rack. Place the rack on top of the base. Make sure that the cables from the base do not get stuck in between. You will find 4 bolts sticking out at the rear end of the base. Use the 4 nuts to fasten the monitor frame in place. You can now remove the straps and packaging from the monitor frame.
IMPORTANT: Put your fingers in the holes on the side of the plastic cover and carefully flip down the plastic cover. Two persons should carry out this operation to avoid too much stress on the plastic cover. 4 hexagonal-shaped screws should be used to secure the monitor frame to the top of the Base. There are 2 holes located on each side. The front cover is made of plastic and should be treated with care.
Installing the monitor(s)
We recommend that there are 3 people present when installing the monitor(s):
 Remove the plastic plugs located on the back of the monitor(s). Check to see where
the holes in the monitor frame are located.
 Take the monitor(s) and place it (them) inside the monitor frame.  Secure each monitor with the 8mm hexagonal-shaped screws.  Remove the protective plastic film from the monitor front.  The monitor connector units should be mounted at the rear of each monitor. Please
see the instructions that comes with the connector (video) unit for correct installation.
