SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The TANDBERG Scholar MXP videoconferencing system is comprised of the following: components for CONTROL, components for AUDIO and VIDEO, and ancillary components that can be added to provide a richer videoconferencing and presentation experience.
Control Interfaces
The TANDBERG videoconferencing system is easily controlled through the touch panel interface. The touch panel controls all presentation and videoconferencing needs via the SCHOLAR MXP and the codec.
TOUCH PANEL The 10” touch panel is incorporated to enable a user to configure and manage the presentation from a podium or desktop. The touch panel incorporates single screen operation and a video window that displays current local and remote site transmissions. The touch panel interface is intuitively designed to maximize presentation effectiveness.
WEB BROWSER A separate web-based user interface for technician/diagnostic control is available. The embedded web interface loaded with the controller requires an IP connection for web-based control.
TANDBERG SCHOLAR MXP CONTROL MODULE The controller in the SCHOLAR MXP modules directs the codec, and enables control of multiple devices, such as room cameras, VCR’s, DVD players, document cameras.
TANDBERG 6000 MXP 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.
Audio and Video Sources
MAIN CAMERA & AUX CAMERA The Main Camera is generally mounted on top of the primary display. The Main Camera is a high quality color camera with a fast pan/tilt/zoom action. The Main Camera is controlled by the touch panel control, or the system’s infrared remote control. You can pre-store up to 10 camera positions using Camera Presets (5 for the Main camera and 5 for the Aux).
MICROPHONES You may connect up to three microphones to your TANDBERG system. There are several microphone solutions that can be integrated with your system:
AudioScience
Microphone
(optional)
TANDBERG's award-winning AudioScience microphone is a transparent, ceiling-mounted, wide-coverage, boundary microphone, which can eliminate the need for table microphones. It is designed to pick up the audio from all conference participants seated within in its pick-up area, defined by hemisphere of approximately 14-foot (4.25m) radius extended in front of, and to the sides of the microphone. Using the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) on the codec maintains the audio signal level at a fixed value by attenuating strong signals and amplifying weak signals.
Table
Microphones
Page 18 of 32 TANDBERG SCHOLAR ASSEMBLY, SETUP AND USER GUIDE | D50564.01
The optional high-quality table microphones are designed to lie on a table during a videoconference. The ideal location for the microphone is on a flat surface at least 6.5 ft (2m) 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.
Page 19
SPEAKER BAR Audio is heard through the SPEAKER BAR. It is connected to the display. The Scholar MXP Module supplies the audio to the display.
DOCUMENT CAMERA A composite video source is available for integrating an optional document camera. Document cameras can be used to show a wide variety of media, such as whitepapers, film negatives, or standard overhead projector transparencies. Source selection, zoom, focus and lighting can all be controlled from the button panel of the document camera.
If the document camera is one of the supported controllable devices and configured, the document camera functions can be controlled from the touch panel when that input is selected.
DVD/VCR PLAYER & RECORDER Standard composite video VCR’s or DVD players can be added for playback and recording. Using codec features such as audio “ducking” (lowering the VCR output while the presenter is talking) allows seamless presentations and participant interaction.
When configured, the device controls will be available on the touch panel. You may also use the front panel controls or the supplied remote control specific to these devices.
When recording is desired, select the “Record Control” button to bring up the video source to record. You may choose to record the far or near end video as the source being recorded. “Start Record” will begin the recording. Pressing stop on the lower controls will stop the recording.
See the peripheral wiring diagram for the Scholar MXP to ensure proper connections for recording.
PC/LAPTOP COMPUTER A user supplied PC or laptop can be connected to the system to enhance presentation. You can connect the PC/laptop to the DVI input on the codec, or to a high-resolution document camera.
Other Components
ADDITIONAL MONITORS An additional monitor can be added for viewing the far or local video. Typically used to view the far side in a teaching environment, the monitor will also show the local image when giving a local presentation.
On/Off controls of certain displays is available. Current some Epson, LG, and pioneer devices can be turned on/off via RS-232 control to extend monitor life and avoid screen burn in.
REMOTE CONTROL The handheld TANDBERG Remote Control is used to control most functions of the system. The system also emulates the remote control via the touch panel.
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.
Detailed instructions on how to use the TANDBERG Remote Control can be found in the codec manual.

APPENDIX
Integrating TANDBERG Precision HD Cameras with the optional TANDBERG Video Switch
Up to two TANDBERG PHD Cameras can be integrated into this system (SCHOLAR MXP), using the TANDBERG Video Switch (TVS), to provide high-definition video. The TVS enables the system to switch between the HD camera signals.
These cameras correspond to MAIN and AUX.
CAMERA OPTIONS
SOURCE INPUT CAMERA DETECTED USES TVS INPUT CONTROL CONNECTION CABLE
Camera #1 Precision HD DVI-D #1 Via TVS “Data 1 HD” 115420 (6’) C6000
Camera #2 Precision HD DVI-D #2 Direct via Display 2 breakout Use adapter T278-0008
Camera #1 Ctrl
To Codec Dataport 2
DVI Cabling: The DVI connections
to the TVS are Digital only (DVI­D)
Power: Each camera and the TVS
will require a 12VDC power supply.
Auxiliary #1, DVI 3 or RGB 6
Camera #1
Camera #2, DVI 2 or RGB 5
TRC4 Remote Control: This
remote can be used but the direct video input switch buttons will not function correctly with
the TAM MXP.
TANDBERG recommends rack mounting the TVS within 6’ (1.5m) of the codec. If you have the TANDBERG student cart, there is 1U blank panel above the codec, or on the 1U shelf. The power distribution bars behind the PC connection should have adequate outlets available.
The TVS OUTPUT connects to the codec digital input on DATAPORT #2 replacing the existing Precision camera which now connects to CAMERA 1.
CAMERA 1 (MAIN/STUDENT) connects to DVI-D 1 and control to DATA 1 HD
CAMERA 2 (AUX/INSTRUCTOR) connects to DVI-D 2 for the Precision HD Camera.
DISTANCE CONSIDERATIONS
If using the Precision HD camera as an instructor camera (looking at one specific person), it should be no further than 30’ (9m) from the subject due to the zoom capabilities of the camera.
CONNECTION DIAGRAM WITH TANDBERG VIDEO SWITCH
The schematic on the following page will show how the TVS is to be integrated with the TANDBERG Precision HD cameras. Please note that the connections are different from the non-HD connection diagram (D5034602).
