Entering text in text elds
Some menu elds expect text information to be entered
Using number keys in text elds
Whenever text entries are expected by the system, a small abc or ABC appears in the right lower corner of the entry eld. For entry elds expecting numbers, 12 3 will appear instead. In text mode, entries from the number keys are automatically interpreted as text entries in the same way as on a cellular phone.
Guidelines:
• Press the key that corresponds to the required letter as many times as needed to produce that letter.
• Switch between lower case (abc) and upper case (ABC) letters with the # a/A key.
• Switch between text mode (abc) and number mode (123) by keeping the # a/A key depressed for more than a second.
• To insert space, press the 0
key.
• To insert the @ sign, press the 1-key twice, while the keypad is in text mode.
• To insert the . sign, press the
*
.-key
once, while the keypad is in number mode.
• To write digits and numbers in a text input eld, repeatedly press the corre­sponding key until the digit appears.
Example: How do I write A li c e 123 in the Search input eld in the phone book?
Do as follows:
1. Press the 2-key once to get an A.
2. Press the #-key once to switch between upper case and lower case letters.
3. Press the 5-key three times to get an l.
4. Press the 4-key three times to get an i.
5. Press the 2-key three times to get a c.
6. Press the 3-key twice to get an e.
7. Press the 0-key once to get space.
8. Press the 1-key three times to get a 1.
9. Press the 2-key four times to get a 2.
10. Press the 3-key four times to get a 3.
The need for text
Apart from the need to enter the number or identity of the person you want to call, you will also—among other things—need this ability to search and maintain your list of contacts in the phone book.
When number keys are pressed
• Pressing a number key outside calls will produce the Call menu.
• Once positioned inside an entry eld expecting text entries, the system auto­matically switches to text mode (ABC). Entering letters is similar to as on a cel­lular phone—see right.
• Once positioned inside an entry eld requiring number entries, the system automatically switches to 123 mode allowing numbers to be dialed with the number keys as usual.
The type of entry expected is shown here as either abc, ABC or 123.
Key in the letters using the lower part of the remote control. Use the Cancel key to erase incorrect inputs.

Dual video stream
Your video system supports the use of dual video streams in video meetings. This means that you can transmit and receive things like PC presentations and DVD footage during the video meeting (point-to–point as well as conferences), in addition to the usual video signal you receive and transmit. Dual video stream is an optional feature.
The wonder ful thing about this is that it opens up for presentations of things made with tools that require PC­software only used by specialists.
One example could be the results of geological surveys in the oil business. A survey result presentation can be important for crucial decision making, but how do you show this to people located thousands of miles apart?
The answer is simple; hook up your PC to the video system, set it up for dual video stream and give your presentation as the second video stream!
Details about dual video stream usage can be found in the article
Utilizing
dual video stream.
The exact look of the screen dur ing a dual video stream session is determined by the
Setting the display
layout.
Point-to–point vs. MultiSite
The term point-to–point refers to a video meeting with no more that two parties.
Conferences consisting of several participants are either:
• MultiSite, which refers to a video conference using your video system’s built-in conference capabilities, or
• MultiWay, which refers to video confer- ences using external infrastructure.
MultiSite and Multiway calls
In MultiSite and Multiway calls (i.e. video conferences with more than two participants) the term Far End will loose its meaning since it will not be unambiguous whom we refer to.
This means that some features normally available during point-to–point calls— like far end camera control—won’t be available during MultiSite calls.
About near end and far end
In a point-to–point video call, your side is the near end and the other part y represents the far end.
If you are a part of the blue team, this side of the video call will be the near end...
...the orange team will then be the far end for you.
Terminology used
Every environment has its terminology, so also for video conferencing

Controlling the camera
Most, but not all, of the TANDBERG meeting room video systems have cameras that can be controlled from the remote control.
• The TANDBERG Centric 1000 MXP, Compass, and Utility have xed cameras that cannot be moved. Focus can, however, be adjusted manually.
• The TANDBERG Tactical MXP and Centric 1700 MXP both have a camera that can be moved up and down. Focus is adjusted manually even on these.
When you are in a point-to–point call you may also be able to control the far end camera, provided that the far end system has a remotely controllable camera— see the chapter
In-call
features.
Controlling cameras at both ends
During a call you may control your own camera at all times by means of the Arrow keys as long as no menu is shown on the screen.
When you are in a point-to–point call you may also be able to control the far end camera, provided that the far end system has a remotely controllable camera. This is explained in the chapter
Using camera control
What is Selfview?
The term Selfview means the outgoing image. In a normal video call using the main camera, this will be the image of yourself. The Selfview button toggles the images between Far End, Selfview and Dual Video Stream (if applicable).
Using Selfview outside calls
Pressing the Selfview key will switch between the near end video and a blank screen (or a logo, if uploaded by your administrator) on the main monitor.
Selfview and Point-to–point
In a point-to–point call, press the Selfview key once to switch from far end video to near end video to see a full screen picture of the outgoing video. Press Self view again to go back to normal.
Point-to–point and dual stream
In a point-to–point call with a dual video stream, the duo video is displayed in the big picture. Press the Selfview button to toggle to the near end picture, then the far end picture, and nally back to the second video stream.
Selfview and camera control
Playing around with the remote control helps you understand what’s happening
… and use the four Arrow keys to move the camera to the left, right, up and down.

Sometimes there are many persons in the room during a video meeting. To make the person speaking easier to see it can be a good idea to zoom in on that person.
To make the zoom-in somewhat faster and more elegant, you may employ the predened camera presets feature. These presets contain information about in which direction the camera should point as well as about the zoom setting. This is something you typically will prepare before the video meeting starts.
The feature applies to endpoints with cameras that can be controlled from the remote control only. Consequently, camera presets are NOT available for:
• TANDBERG Centric 1000 MXP
• TANDBERG Centric 1700 MXP
• TANDBERG Tactical MXP
• TANDBERG Compass/Utility
For the other MXP endpoints a total of 15 presets (0–14) can be dened.
Dening camera presets
Use camera presets to make a quick move and zoom with the camera to see the person speaking
Preset No. 1
Preset No. 2
Preset No. 3
Use the Arrow keys to move the camera as described on the previous page.
Then determine which preset number on the remote control the position shall be assigned to and press and hold the corresponding key for more than one second.
The current camera position is now stored as a preset.
Storing camera presets as 0–9…
In the main menu, move cursor to the Camera Control icon and press the OK key…
In the submenu appearing, move the cursor to the Save New Camera Preset icon and press the OK key…
Fill in the Preset Number (0–14) and optionally a Preset Name to make things easier to remember and to use.
Select Save and press OK to leave menu putting changes into eect, or select Cancel to leave undoing any changes.

Use as PC screen
If you want to use the video system screen as your PC screen, we recommend that your system administrator sets Use Screen as Local PC monitor to On. How to do this is described in the Administrator Guide for this product.
This implies that you can display your PC locally while having a video conference, and you can keep on working without risking that the
far
end can see what’s on your PC screen.
We also recommend to have the Auto Layout setting set to On (default) to get a suitable layout when toggling from the local PC display mode to standard video conference mode.
Use the Selfview key to toggle between local PC display mode and standard video conference mode. An indicator tells you that your PC image is displayed locally.
Picture in Picture (PIP)
When Picture Layout is set to PIP, the Layout key 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. You are free to choose in which corner the second image is to be displayed (press the Layout key repeatedly).
Picture outside Picture (POP)
When Picture Layout is set to POP, the Layout key 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 side-by–side the main image (1+1) or smaller images next to the main image (1+2 an d 1+3).
Press the Layout key once to get a side-by-side view (1+1). Press again to get the layouts 1+2 and 1+3, and nally go back to full screen view. You can also go back to full screen directly by pressing and holding Layout for 1 second.

Entering standby modeAbout standby
The system will automatically go to standby mode when it is not in use. In standby mode, the screen(s) will turn black. It is, however, still possible to receive incoming calls.
The standby mode of the system should be enabled if the system is to be left idle.
Standby is not activated by
switching o the power to the monitor(s). Some TANDBERG systems come with monitors that cannot be switched o.
If the system is set to be using
