1.1 At a Glance
Camera
The main camera is
mounted on top of the
monitor. 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 infra-red
remote control and
operates pan/tilt, focus
and zoom.
Monitor
The monitor displays the
far-end and near-end
videoconferencing sites
in addition to the menus.
Note that the monitor
pictures/drawings used
in this manual might
differ from the actual
monitor model shipped
with the system.
Codec
The codec is the heart of
the system. Its main task
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 - the name
codec comes from a
combination of the two
words compression and
decompression.

Introduction
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 the
batteries at the back 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
another video system, when you control your own system.
Microphone
The high quality table microphone is designed to be placed on a table during a videoconference.
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.

side-by-side the main image (1+1) or smaller images next to the main image (1+2 and 1+3).
Press the Layout button once to get side-by-side view (1+1). Press again to get the layouts 1+2
and 1+3, and finally go back to full screen view. You can also go back to full screen directly by
pressing and holding Layout for 1 second. It is recommended to use Picture outside Picture for
wide screen monitor systems.
3.2.3.3 Auto Layout
The system will automatically choose the best layout for your call. The layouts vary depending on
how many participants there are and if you use a dual video source or not. You can however
always change layout manually with the Layout button. Auto Layout applies when you open or
close a dual stream, or add or disconnect participants.
Auto Layout also includes the former automatic PIP. That implies that PIP will automatically be
shown when suitable, e.g. to display selfview when you move your near end camera. The
automatic PIP times out after a couple of seconds.
If Auto Layout is Off you will get no automatic layout changes during a call and the user must
manually control the images with the Layout button. Auto Layout is default On. To turn Auto
Layout Off, go to Screen Settings.

3.5.5 Streaming
Streaming lets you broadcast your meeting to participants on web. The web participants can
listen to the meeting, see snapshots, but not participate themselves. Snapshots of current stream
(if MultiSite), selfview, far end and DuoVideo streams are accessible via http. See Appendix 6 for
descriptions of the possible snapshot files.
How to use Streaming:
1. Choose Streaming from the Call Menu to open the Streaming menu.
2. Press Start Streaming from the menu line. An indicator will appear on the screen when
streaming is activated.
3. Press Stop Streaming to end streaming. Streaming will also end when you disconnect the
call.
4. Press Streaming Settings if you want to change streaming settings (see Streaming
Settings below)
How to view streaming from a PC:
1. After streaming is started, an easy way to view the streamed audio/video is to start your
Web browser and enter the IP-address of the streaming system.
2. After the Web page of the system is shown, click on Streaming. Alternatively, enter
http://<codec ip-address>/stream.sdp
Streaming Settings
Address
Address Port
TTL/Router
Hops
Address is defined as the IP-address of a streaming client, streaming
server or a multicast address. Giving an address in the range 224.0.0.1-
239.255.255.255 will broadcast the stream to any host that has joined
the specified multicast group. Specifying normal broadcast address
255.255.255.255 will broadcast to any members on the LAN.
If several codec’s are streaming to the same IP-address, different ports
have to be used in order for the client to know which stream to receive.
If the first codec streams on port 2240 and the second codec on port
2250, the client has to specify which port to listen to. Video is
transmitted on the specified port; audio is transmitted on the port
number 4 above the specified video port, in this case 2244 and 2254.
This is used for streaming data to limit how many routers the data
should pass before it is rejected. If TTL is set to 2, data will not traverse
more than 2 router hops.

3.10.6 Camera Tracking
Through Camera Tracking and the use of two or three microphones, the camera can
automatically position itself on the current speaker. Before using camera tracking, the camera
positions used must be stored at Preset 7 (Mic1) and Preset 8 (Mic2).
How to use Camera Tracking:

keys.
Example: You have placed Microphone 1 on the table. Where should you position the camera
for Preset 7?
The camera position stored at Preset 7 must be related to Microphone 1. Therefore all
participants who are located closest to Mic1 should be included in the Preset 7 camera
position etc. When camera tracking is activated and a person close to Mic1 speaks, Preset 7
will be automatically selected.
When activating another video source (for instance document camera), camera tracking will be
temporarily disabled until you re-select Main Camera or a Main Camera preset.
The camera tracking speeds may be altered in the Video Settings menu in Administrator Settings,
see Camera Tracking Mode for further details.
A Voice Detector makes the system more tolerant of noise and ensures the camera not to be

3.11.5 Dual Stream (DuoVideoTF/H.239)
(Optional feature - not available on all systems)
With Dual Stream you have the opportunity to show two different live video streams
simultaneously, main video and one additional source. This is handy when showing a
presentation. You see the live presentation and the live video of the presenter simultaneously.
When you start a presentation, Dual Stream starts automatically if both local and remote system
supports Dual Stream. If one of the systems does not support Dual Stream, no second video
stream will be established and your presentation will be shown as your main video.
Dual Stream is available on all systems with Natural Presenter Package installed. H.239 is the
new ITU standard defining how to send two video sources simultaneously.
Example:
Start a meeting with main camera as video source. Press the presentation key on the remote
control to start a PC presentation.
PC will appear as a Dual Video Stream in addition to main camera. End the Dual Stream
presentation by pressing presentation key again.
In Presentation Settings, you can set Presentation Start to Manual. That means that Dual Stream
will not start automatically.

A dialog box appears where you can choose to show PC as Dual Video Stream or not. This is
handy if you not always want to use Dual Stream.
Dual Stream and Bandwidth
Using Dual Stream, the quality will automatically downspeed to the optimal bandwidth. This
means that you need higher quality to allocate enough bandwidth for the two video streams. Dual
Stream borrows bandwidth from main video. When Dual Stream is closed, the bandwidth is
returned to the main video.
Note that when selecting the Document Camera or PC, the system will automatically request floor
when connected to a MCU conference as MultiSite host* or connected to an external MCU.
* Not available on all systems.
