PLASMA MONITORS: Panel sticking and after-image lag

Avoid displaying the same images continuously over a long period of time on the TANDBERG 7000 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.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

W.A.V.E. 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.

You can pre-store up to ten camera positions using the remote control.

Monitor(s)

The monitor displays the far-end and near-end videoconferencing sites in addition to the menus, video from connected video sources and high-resolution images.

You can also connect a second monitor for displaying self-view, still images 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.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

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 switch off the screen saver.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

Table microphone

The high quality table microphone is specially designed to be used on a table during a video conference.

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.

You can connect up to three microphones.

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.

TANDBERG Natural Audio module

The Natural Audio module is designed to improve audio quality during a videoconference. It is mounted in the cabinet above the Codec and consists of an audio system optimized for speech.

The Natural Audio module uses a frequency-compensated speaker system optimized for voice response and is designed specifically for videoconferencing requirements.

The Natural Audio module provides natural sounding audio - as if the person is in the same room - by delivering a flat response across the vocal range.

Monitor speakers are optimized for music and not designed to reproduce speech. Natural Audio reproduces voice without the distortion of speech caused by television speakers.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

Getting started

Making and ending calls

Making a call

connect

ISDN call

The system will, by default, try to connect using Quality: Auto (see table overleaf). If the requested quality (bandwidth) cannot be established, the system will establish a connection on as high quality as possible.

The SoftMux ensures high reliability and includes the unique Downspeeding feature. If channels are dropped during a meeting, Downspeeding automatically maintains the connection without interrupting the call in progress. The SoftMux also enables you to dial to other videoconferencing equipment, phones and mobile phones in the same way and provides you with on-screen, real-time feedback on the progress of a call.

To make a call, enter the number or the IP-address of the unit you wish to call using the Dialing keys and press CONNECT.

LAN call

To make a call via a LAN, enter an IP-address by using a * as the ‘dot’ in the IP-address, e.g. 123*3*0*12 will be interpreted as 123.3.0.12. If a gatekeeper is present, you may place IP-calls using “telephone-style” numbers (an E.164 alias), according to the numbering plan implemented in the gatekeeper. The dialed number will then be translated into an IP-address by the gatekeeper.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemGetting started

Access Code

If the system requires an Access Code, enter the code and press OK to proceed making a call:

Using sub-address / extension address / MCU password

To specify an ISDN sub-address or its LAN equivalent extension address (TCS-4), add a star (*) after the number and then enter the sub-address/extension address.

Example: 12345678*10 ( <number>*<Sub-address/extension address/MCU password>)

When calling to external MCU’s requiring a password (TSC-1), this password can be added after the star (*). If no password is specified, a menu will prompt you to enter the password (after connected to the MCU).

SUB-ADDRESS IS USED TO ADDRESS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ON THE SAME ISDN LINE.

TIP

TCS-4 IS USED TO ADDRESS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ON A LAN, WHEN DIALING IN VIA A GATEWAY.

MultiSite (MCU)

The system has a built-in multipoint conference unit (MCU), MultiSite, which has the capability to establish meetings with up to 4 video sites (5 if at least one site is a telephone call, ISDN/analogue/mobile).

The video calls in a conference must be connected using the same bandwidth.

A conference can consist of any combination of ISDN/

LAN sites.

It is possible to have telephone meetings with up to 5 participants.

The MultiSite supports both Voice Switched and

Continuous Presence mode (see ‘MCU Services’ in ‘Advanced use’ for description of these modes).

Establishing a conference is done by first making a call to one site. When a call is established with the first site, the other sites are connected one by one.

It is possible to either dial out to the sites or the sites can dial in to the MultiSite.

Audio Inputs

TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemAdvanced use

By default, all inputs are enabled. Just plug in an audio source and it is active. Audio inputs that are On will automatically be mixed. Select Off to prevent audio/noise from unused inputs or if you want to disable a specific input. The activated audio sources are stored on presets.

Mic 1,2 and 3 are intended for electret type microphones. The microphone inputs are balanced with 24V phantom power.

Audio input 4 is intended for connection to an external microphone amplifier or an external fixed mixer.

NOTE

EXTERNAL MIXER WHEN USING AN EXTERNAL MIXER, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS IS A FIXED MIXER. AUTOMATIC, SMART AND OTHER TYPES OF ADAPTIVE MIXERS

MIGHT CAUSE THE ECHO CANCELLER TO MALFUNCTION.

Audio input 5 is intended for connection to external playback devices or to telephone add-on hybrids.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

Advanced use

As there is no acoustic echo canceller on this input it should not be connected to any microphones. The audio entering this input will be heard from the local speaker.

Audio input 6 is intended for connection to a VCR. It can also be connected to other external playback devices. As there is no acoustic echo canceller on this input it should not be connected to any microphones. The audio entering this input will be heard from the local speaker.

Mix Mode

‘Auto’ automatically adjusts the weighting of each microphone to obtain the best possible audio and minimizes the background noise. ‘Auto’ will also attenuate the VCR audio level when someone talks into a microphone. ‘Fixed’ will maintain a constant weighting for all microphones.

Level Settings

Adjust the audio input levels according to which external audio equipment is connected. The on-screen audio level indicator will make it easier to set the correct input level settings. The input level should be adjusted so that the average level reaches the preferred level marker.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:

Audio Technica AT871 +3dB (default with system) Audio Technica AT851R +7dB TANDBERG Audio Science +19.5dB

Audioinputs 4, 5 and 6 are set to a default level which is adhered to by most manufacturers of audio-visual equipment and is a level at which most audio-visual equipment (CD-players, VCRs) will work.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemAdvanced use

Audio Outputs

Audio out 1 is intended for connection to TANDBERG Natural Audio, televisions or audio amplifiers.

Audio out 2 is intended for connection to audio recording equipment or to a telephone add-on hybrid. The signal is a mix of audio from both the far end and local end (not from Audio in 5).

Audio out 3 is intended for connection to a VCR or other recording equipment. The signal is a mix of audio from far end and local end (not from Audio in 6).

Audio Module: Select Natural Audio Module according to the type of Audio Module installed.

NEVER CONNECT AUDIO OUT 2 OR AUDIO OUT 3 TO A LOUDSPEAKER PLACED IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE MICROPHONES CONNECTED TO THE

NOTE

SYSTEM. DOING THIS WILL CAUSE “HOWLING” AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE SPEAKER SYSTEM.

If an output is ‘Off’, no audio will be sent to that output.

Level Settings - Outputs

Adjust the audio output levels according to the parameters of the external audio equipment connected. These levels should only be adjusted when installing new audio equipment. The default settings are correct for the TANDBERG Natural Audio module and for most consumer electronics devices (televisions, VCRs, etc.).

The volume keys on the remote control adjust the level of output 1 (the speaker output). The volume control has no effect on outputs 2 and 3.

Echo Control

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

Advanced use

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 far end from hearing their own audio. Once selected, 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 second or two to re-adjust.

You can choose to switch off the echo canceller for the available audio sources.

ECHO CONTROL SHOULD BE SWITCHED ‘OFF ’ IF EXTERNAL ECHO CANCELLATION OR PLAYBACK EQUIPMENT IS USED. IT IS YOUR ECHO CANCELLER

NOTE

IMPROVES THE AUDIO QUALITY EXPERIENCED BY THE OTHER SITE. WHEN YOU HEAR AN ECHO OF YOUR OWN AUDIO IT IS MOST LIKELY THE FAR

THAT END’S ECHO CANCELLER THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING.

Noise Reduction

In addition to echo cancellation, the system has built-in noise reduction (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.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemAdvanced use

Room Size

This setting allows optimization of the echo canceller to the acoustic size of the room. Hard walls, many windows etc. might require higher settings than expected. Carpets, curtains etc. might require lower settings. Adjust the setting (NOTE: on the far end) if one of the following symptoms occur:

• There is still some echo of your own audio. Increase the setting.

• The system adapts slowly to acoustic changes in the room. Decrease the setting.

After a change, the system will need a few seconds to re-adjust.

Motion

If you experience echo caused by movements in the room, increase the value.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

Advanced use

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Settings

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 would be harder to hear than others. The AGC corrects this problem by automatically increasing the microphone levels when “quiet” or “distant” people speak, and by decreasing the microphone levels when “louder” people speak.

NOTE

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 1 meter.

• 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. Avoid distances above two meters from any participant to his/her closest microphone. If necessary, use several microphones. Also avoid placing microphones less than one meter from any person.

• Place all microphones as far as possible from noise sources.

• Reduce the volume setting. Ensure that the loudspeaker does not distort the audio.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemAdvanced use

• The echo canceller tries to estimate the echo path from the speaker system to the microphones. Moving objects change this path, therefore try to 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.

• 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 the settings without allowing the echo canceller to adapt to the new audio environment.

• In the presence of low frequency noise, enable the noise reduction (NR).

Alert Tones & Volume

To help distinguish between incoming video calls and ordinary telephone calls, different ringing tones may be selected. You may also select different volume levels for the ringing tone.

Alert Speaker

The system also has an internal, call alerting speaker.

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 return all audio settings to their factory default settings by using Restore Audio Defaults.

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.

Address Port

If several codecs 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.

NAT

NAT, Network Address Translation, is used in small LAN’s, often home offices, when a PC and a videoconferencing system is connected to a router with NAT support. NAT support in the videoconferencing system enables proper exchange of audio/video data when connected to an external videoconferencing system (when the IP traffic goes through an NAT router.

When NAT is On, the NAT Server Address will be shown in the startup-menu: ‘My IP Address: 10.0.2.1 (NAT)’

NAT Address

This must be the external/global IP-address to the Router with NAT support. Packets sent to the Router will then be routed to the codec.

In the router, the following ports must be routed to the codec’s IP-address: Port 1720 Port 5555-5560 Port 2326-2365 Please contact your TANDBERG representative for further information.

IP-assignment

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) can be selected when a DHCP server is present.

DHCP: IP-address, IP-subnet mask and Gateway are not used because these parameters are assigned by

the DHCP server.

Static: The codec’s IP-address and IP-subnet mask must be specified in the IP-address field.

EFFECT BEFORE THE SYSTEM IS

ANY RESTARTED.

IP-address

IP-address defines the network address of the codec. This address is only used in static mode. In DHCP-mode, the assigned IP-address can be found on the Welcome Menu.

IP-subnet mask

IP-subnet mask defines the type of network. This address is only used in static mode. Your LAN-administrator will provide the correct value for this field.

Gateway

When using DHCP, the default gateway will be set automatically. If the LAN utilizes static IP addresses, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway must be specified by the LAN administrator.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing SystemAdvanced use

Ethernet Speed

Auto The codec will auto-detect the speed/duplex on the LAN. 10/Half The codec will connect to the LAN using 10Mbps speed/Half Duplex. 10/Full 10 Mbps speed/Full Duplex. 100/Half 100 Mbps speed/Half Duplex. 100/Full 100 Mbps speed/Full Duplex.

Restart

Pressing the Quick key ‘Restart’ will restart your system without having to use the On/Off switch on the codec. If IP-assignment is changed, it is sufficient to use this Quick key to restart the system.

SNMP Settings

SNMP Trap Host

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for monitoring and configuring of different units in a network. The codec’s SNMP Agent responds to requests from SNMP Managers (a PC program etc.). SNMP

traps are generated by the agent to inform the manager about important events.

SNMP Trap Host identifies the IP-address of the SNMP manager.

SNMP Community

SNMP Community names are used to authenticate of SNMP requests. SNMP requests must have a ‘password’ in order to receive a response from the SNMP agent in the codec.

NOTE

THE SNMP COMMUNITY NAME IS CASE SENSITIVE.

Encryption

Auto The system will try to make ISDN point-to-point calls using encryption. If the far end system supports

encryption, the call will be encrypted. If not, the call will proceed without encryption.

If the far end supports encryption, the systems will initiate encryption after the call is connected. This takes approximately 10 seconds, during which an ‘open padlock’ will be displayed. When encryption has been established, a ‘closed padlock’ symbol will be displayed.

Off The system will not send or receive encrypted data.

Technical encryption information like encryption algorithm and encryption check code can be found in the ‘Call Status’ menu.

Max Call Length

This feature will automatically end both incoming and outgoing calls when the call time exceeds the ‘Max Call Length’ specified.

Max Call Length can have the following values: 0-999(minutes), where 0 is Off.

A few minutes before the specified time is reached, a Quick-Key menu will appear. Users will be asked if he/ she wants to extend the ‘Max Call Length’ that is specified:

Network Profiles

This menu defines the settings listed when pressing the Quick key ‘Net:’ while in the dial menu.

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

Advanced use

This menu consists of 6 network profiles, a prefix can be added for each profile. If you add a prefix to a profile, this prefix can be automatically added to the number being dialed.

EXAMPLE:

TIP

0 IS ADDED AS A CALL PREFIX TO THE 2ND PROFILE, ISDN. IF YOU ENTER 12345678 IN THE DIAL MENU AND SELECT ‘ISDN’, THE NUMBER

DIALED WILL BE 012345678.

Using the three last profiles you can enter the name of a profile, prefix and network selection. This is useful if you have a fixed prefix for your service provider.
