Installation
Connecting cables
All cables needed in standard configuration are connected to the Codec. These Codec inputs are marked
green. Connect:
Vision 5000 power cable and monitor power cable to an electrical distribution socket.
Europe: Scart connector to one of the Scart connectors on the monitor, (for a 29 monitor, use Ext-1).
USA: Connect the cable terminating in two RCA connectors and one S-video connector to the monitor. The
two RCA connectors are for the left and right audio channels (not if Natural Audio module is mounted). The
S-video connector is for video. The audio signal from the Vision 5000 is a monaural signal and therefore is
fed into both audio-in sockets on the monitor.
Microphone to the microphone cable.
Connect the camera and the camera cable. The camera cable terminates in a 15 pin D-SUB connector.
ISDN cables - using BRI interface
Take the four ends of the ISDN cables and verify that they are labelled ISDN 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Note
Some software versions of Vision 5000 do not support 4 ISDN lines.
Connect ISDN cable No. 1 to the first ISDN socket (S/T-interface) provided by the service provider. This
will be your main number. Connect ISDN cable No. 2 to the second ISDN socket, ISDN cable No. 3 to
the third ISDN socket and ISDN cable No. 4 to the fourth socket (if used).
USA: The Vision 5000 does not have a built in network terminator. If your wall socket provides you with an
ISDN U-interface, you will need an NT1 between your Vision 5000 and your ISDN line, see Appendix 1.
Note
Write down the numbers associated with each of the ISDN lines. You will need them later to configure the system.
Connecting to the Switched 56 network
When connecting to the Switched 56 network you may use one of the BRI interfaces or the V.35 interface
on the Vision 5000. Please refer to Appendix 2 for further information.

Environmental considerations
This section explains how to carry out basic adjustments and simple tests to ensure that you send and receive
the best possible image and audio quality when using your Vision 5000.
Iris control and lighting
By default the Vision 5000 camera will use an automatic iris to compensate for changes in lighting. In
addition to this feature you may further assist the Vision 5000 to maintain the best possible image quality by
paying special attention to environmental lighting and background colours as described below. Remember
the Vision 5000 will send live images of yourself and your immediate surroundings.
Avoid direct sunlight on the subject matter i.e. yourself, the background or onto the camera lens as this
will create harsh contrasts.
If light levels are too low you may need to consider using artificial lighting. As above avoid direct
illumination of the subject matter and camera lens.
When using artificial lighting, daylight type lamps will produce the most effective results. Avoid
coloured lighting.
Indirect light from shaded sources or reflected light from pale walls, often produces excellent results.
Avoid harsh side lighting or strong light from above, for example: strong sunlight from a window or
skylight, as this may put part or all of the subject matter in shadow or cause silhouetting.
If you still have problems with the iris and lighting, manual adjustment of the camera parameters might
help - see Camera adjustments in Video Input menu.
Dim scenes can also be improved by manually adjusting the camera brightness setting.
Background
The appearance of the picture background is very important but easily overlooked. It is important to
remember that the camera also shows whats behind you when in a videoconference. To ensure a suitable
background we recommend you consider the following:
Use a neutrally coloured background with a medium contrast and a soft texture, e.g. a plain curtain with
no heavy patterns or strong colours that may adversely tint the whole scene.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Page 20
20
VISION 5000 Videoconferencing SystemInstallation
Avoid moving backgrounds, for example: curtains in a draught, moving objects, or people walking behind
you, as this may both reduce image quality and distract the attention of the calling party.
Do not place the camera facing a doorway.
Brightness control
For adjusting brightness, colours or other settings of the TV monitor, you must use the TV monitors own
remote control. Adjust the TV monitor to suit the conditions of the conference room.
The TV monitor has an on-screen menu and is very easy to use. For more information on configuring the TV
monitor refer to the user manual for that unit.
Loudspeaker volume
The audio system will use the loudspeakers built into the TV monitor or the Natural Audio module (if
installed). The volume of the audio system is controlled by the Volume Control keys on the Vision 5000 hand-
held remote control.
The default volume level can be set by adjusting the volume on the TV monitor using the TV monitors own
remote control.

How to prepare a typical room for videoconferencing
The diagram below shows a typical room designed to obtain the best results when using the Vision 5000.
1
1–3:
Prestored camera views
2
3
Grand Vison
Leader
Board
Microphone
Table
Document camera
The microphone should be placed at the front of
the table to ensure that all speech will be
detected. The best position for the microphone is
at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) in front of the Vision
5000 on a plain, flat table with at least 0.3
meters (12 inches) of table in front of the
microphone.
The document camera should be close to the
leader or a designated controller of the
document camera for ease of use. (Remember to
arrange all the peripherals so that one participant
can reach each of them to point, change the
display, tape, and so forth).
The camera supports up to 15 pre-stored camera
positions. The illustration shows three possible
camera positions. One of all the participants, one
of the whiteboard and one of the main speaker.
The remaining presets are then available for
other peripheral equipment, for example: a VCR.
Position the Vision 5000 in such a way as to
avoid the possibility of somebody inadvertently
walking into the cameras field of view when
entering the room. Other than the conference
participants there should be no moving items in
the sent image.

Getting started
On-screen help
Press the
HELP
key to get help.
The help system has two formats:
1. A separate Help Menu.
2. Context sensitive help, i.e. HELP relative to wherever you are in the menu system.
Getting started
System start-up
Your Vision 5000 should be in standby mode, if so pressing any key will wake up the system.
If the Vision 5000 does not respond: turn on the system by using the On/Off switch located at the rear of
the Codec, see figure below. After a few seconds you should see a start-up message on the monitor.
If this does not help, check if your monitor is switched on. To switch your monitor on you normally push
the power button in front of the monitor (depending on monitor type).

Basics
The Vision 5000s 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 boxes which take the form of menus
and lists. Individual items within the menus and lists can be selected by moving a white highlighter bar to
the desired option. Use the cursor keys (shown below) to move the highlighter bar to the desired option and
use the
OK
key to select.
UP
RIGHTOKLEFT
DOWN
To confirm the selection press OK.
All functions are accessible using the keys on the remote
control, these keys can be divided into three functional
groups (see figure).
To make a call you only need to use the Dialling keys. The
twelve number keys, (0-9), #, * operate in the same way as
on a modern push-button telephone.
The Control keys are probably the most frequently used keys
during a call, allowing you to switch between pre-stored
camera positions, control the volume, select self-view and
obtain help.
The Hidden Control keys are protected by a sliding panel
and facilitate a more advanced use of your Vision 5000. With
these keys you may enter the menu system to change
parameters, control the camera, set new pre-stored positions
and so forth.

Getting started
Making and ending calls
Making a call
The Vision 5000 has its own internal software controlled inverse multiplexer, SoftMux and uses Intelligent
Call Management (ICM). This enables you to dial to other videoconferencing equipment, phones and
mobile phones without needing to use a prefix. ICM provides you with on-screen, real-time feedback on the
progress of a call. You will, when calling to videoconferencing equipment, obtain a connection on as many
channels as possible.
External Networks
ICM is not available when using an external IMUX or when connecting via special networks.
Ending a call
Switching off the monitor(s) will not disconnect a call. To disconnect a call you should press the
ACCEPT
END CALL
key.
Video call
To make a video call, enter the number of the unit you wish to call using the Dialling keys and press
SEND
.
Example: 12345678 +
SEND
, 12345678 = Number
The system will, by default, try to connect using 6 channels and BONDING. If the requested number of
channels cannot be established, the system will establish a connection on as many channels as possible
(some limitations depending on remote system).
The SoftMux supports high reliability and includes the unique Downspeed feature. If channels are dropped
during a meeting, Downspeeding automatically maintains the connection without interrupting the call in
progress.
If you are calling to a unit that does not support more than 2 channels, the Vision 5000 will connect on 2
channels. When dialling to an analogue telephone, you will also connect without using a prefix. Due to ICM
you should never need to use any special prefix.
To force a special number of channels, see Special Call Prefixes.
The default number of channels may be changed , see Advanced ISDN settings in Advanced use.

VISION 5000 Videoconferencing SystemGetting started
Dialling two numbers
Sometimes (especially calling to and within the USA) it is necessary to dial both ISDN numbers when
making a video call using 2x64 kbps or 2x56 kbps. Type in the first number followed by ** and edit the
automatically inserted second number by using the
DELETE
key and the number keys.
Example: 12345678 ** 12345679 +
SEND
Restricted call
A restricted call is a call to a 56 kbit network. By default the system will dial an unrestricted call (a call to a
64 kbit network). To force a restricted call, add a # at the end of the number being dialled.
Example: 12345678# +
SEND
Telephone call (SoftMux only)
To force a telephone call, press ** and then enter the number.
Example: **12345678 +
SEND
Special call prefixes
Default call type is #6* which means 6B BONDING. If you want to force another call type, you can use
one of the prefixes below. If you want your system to always dial another call type, see Default Call Type
in Advanced ISDN Settings.
Prefix Call Type
#12* 12B call (BONDING), 768 kbps (PRI and Ext.network only)
#8* 8B call (BONDING), 512 kbps
#6* 6B call (BONDING), 384 kbps
#5* 5B call (BONDING)
#4* 4B call (BONDING), 256 kbps
#3* 3B call (BONDING)
#2* 2B call (H.221), 128 kbps
#1* 1B call (H.221)
#92* 2B call (BONDING)
#91* 1B call (BONDING)
#81* 1xH0 channel call (PRI only)

MCU services
A Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) enables several sites to participate in the same conference.
An MCU conference can have different modes: Voice Switched and Continous Presence with or without
Chairman control.
Voice Switched means that the image of the person currently speaking will be broadcast to all the other
conference participants. This will remain the case until another participant starts to speak. Voice Switched
requires a certain amount of discipline from all participants.
Continous Presence shows several participants on the same screen at the same time.
Chairman Control functionality enables one participant to control the meeting by selecting which of the
conference participants is to be broadcast to the other participants.
Tip
During an MCU conference, a status line is displayed by default which provides user information about the
conference. To remove this status line, select Utilities, MCU Status Line: Off.

The audio inputs are adjustable in steps of 1.5 dB from 0 dB to 22.5 dB.
The default levels for Mic 1,2 and 3 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:
Crown PCC-160 +3dB
Audio Technica AT851R +7dB
Tandberg Audio Science +12dB
Audio 4, 5 and 6 are set to a default level which is adhered to by most manufacturers of audio-visual

Mic1: Off On On+NR

Mic3: Off On On+NR
Audio4: Off On On+NR
Previous Menu
Each of the 3 microphone inputs and Audio input 4 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 remote site from hearing their own audio. Once selected
On 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 few seconds to re-adjust.
You can choose to switch off the echo canceller for the available audio sources.
Echo Control
Echo Control should be switched OFF if external echo cancellation or playback equipment is used. Audio 5 and 6
do not have echo cancellation since these inputs are intended for audio playback equipment.
It is your echo canceller that improves the audio quality experienced by the other site. When you hear an echo of
your own audio it is most likely the remote sites echo canceller that is malfunctioning.
Noise Reduction
In addition to echo cancellation the system has built in noise reduction algorithms (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.

========== AGC Settings ==========
Mic1-3,Audio4: Off On
Audio5(AUX): Off On
Audio6(VCR): Off On
Received Audio: Off On
Previous Menu
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 will be harder to hear than others. The AGC
corrects this problem by automatically increasing the mic levels when quiet or distant people speak, and
by decreasing the mic levels when louder people speak.
Important
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 leveller might amplify the
background noise as well as the signal. Therefore, in noisy environments, it is advisable to turn the leveller
off.
Tips for improving the echo canceller performance:
Place all microphones as far as possible from the loudspeaker. Minimum loudspeaker-microphone distance
should be 2 meters.
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.
Place all microphones as far as possible from noise sources.
Reduce the volume setting. Ensure that the loudspeaker does not distort the audio.
The echo canceller tries to estimate the echo path from the speaker system to the microphones. Moving objects
change this path, therefore 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.

Alert Speaker
The Vision 5000 also has an internal, call alerting speaker. When selected On the internal speaker will warn
you of an incoming call even though the monitor may not be switched on.
Restore Audio Defaults
There are many audio settings. It is easy for the user to configure the codec to be unusable. Therefore it is
possible to set all audio settings back to default settings by using Restore Audio Defaults.
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 settings etc. without allowing the canceller to adapt to
the new settings.
In the presence of low frequency noise, enable the noise reduction (NR).

dial and yyy is a call prefix you can use, e.g. 0 to access external line.
Prefix Call type Prefix Call type
#12* 12B call (BONDING) #2* 2B call (H.221)
#8* 8B call (BONDING) #1* 1B call (H.221)
#6* 6B call (BONDING) #92* 2B call (BONDING)
#5* 5B call (BONDING) #91* 1B call (BONDING)
#4* 4B call (BONDING) #0* Telephone call
#3* 3B call (BONDING) #81* 1xH0 channel call (PRI only)
Example: #12*10288 specifies an 12 channel call and the prefix 10288 to the number.
MSN (Multi Subscriber Number)
The use of MSN (Multi Subscriber Number) enables you to attach different ISDN terminals, with different
numbers, to the same physical ISDN telephone line. If Validate Numbers is set to On only calls to those numbers
specified in the Line Setup menus will be answered. This service can be ordered from your telephone company.
Parallel dial
If set to On, channels will be dialled and connected in parallel when setting up a BONDING call. If set to
Off, channels will be dialled one by one which may increase the dialling time.
Downspeed
Downspeed enables your unit to automatically adjust to the maximum available bandwidth even if this is
only a telephone call. The downspeed ability is always active when dialling without a prefix. If however, a
prefix is used and downspeed is Off, a connection will not be possible unless the requested number of
channels are available. We recommend that downspeed is set to On.
Fallback to telephony
Fallback to telephony enables fallback from video calls to telephony/speech calls.
Send Own Numbers
If set to On, this unit will send its own numbers to the remote unit. If set to Off, the network may still send
your numbers to the remote unit.

IMUX default prefix
When using an external IMUX to make a call, you should specify a prefix which informs the IMUX of how
to make the call (which protocol to use, number of channels etc.) in the absence of a user dialled prefix.
Example: To make a call using an Ascend Multiband VSX IMUX, you could use the following prefixes:
Prefix Call Type
#008 8B call (BONDING) #003 3B call (BONDING)
#006 6B call (BONDING) #002 2B call (BONDING)
#005 5B call (BONDING) #001 2B call (H.221)
#004 4B call (BONDING)
The default prefix is chosen to be #001, a call on 2 B-channels. If you want to change the default prefix,
insert the same prefix at both Net1 and Net2.
Restrict offset
When using the # after the number, the restrict offset will be added to the prefix used. This means that if you
want to make a 6 channel call to a 56 kbps network you should dial #006<number>#. If the restrict offset is
10, this is equivalent to dialing #016<number>.

Previous Menu
IP-assignment
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) can be selected when a DHCP server is present. When
using DHCP, IP-address and IP-subnet mask is not used because these parameters are assigned by the
DHCP server. When using DHCP the IP address given is displayed in the boot-up text and in Test
Subsystem.
If Static is selected, the codecs IP-address and IP-subnet mask must be specified in the IP-address field.
IP-address
A IP-address defines the network address of the codec and is defined by 4 numbers in the range of 0-255.
This address is only used in static mode. The IP-address can be found in the boot-up text.
IP-subnet mask
A IP-subnet mask defines the type of network and is defined by 4 numbers in the range 0-255. This address
is only used in static mode.
If the setting is 255.255.255.0 the local network can have 256 nodes. This is a class C network.
If the setting is 255.255.0.0 the local network can have 65536 nodes. This is a class B network.
Gateway
When using DHCP, the default gateway should automatically be set. If the LAN utilizes static IPs, an IP
number, subnet mask, and default gateway must be specified by the LAN administrator.
See section Ethernet Functionality for further information.
Note
The IP-address and IP-subnet mask entries
will be greyed out when IP-assignment is
set to DHCP and are then not valid.
