Key pad/DTMF

DTMF - Dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signaling is used for telephone signaling over the line in the voice-frequency band. This means that there will be sent a tone representing the number clicked on the key pad.

E.g:
If you are to log in to a password protected conference, you will be prompted for a number. Bring up the key pad and click the required number.
If you are to set up a new conference using equipment that requires DTMF.
It can also be used if you are calling a voice system where you need to use dial tones to navigate menus (e.g. “To speak to an operator, please press 1” ).
To bring up the key pad and enter a number:

Troubleshoot

To troubleshoot in Movi you need Call status 1 in addition to your symptoms. This information is available with the Call status button. Some of the information tells you what is actually wrong and some of the information indicates where you can adjust to have better quality when using Movi.
The quality of sound and video is also influenced by factors that you cannot adjust through Movi; your camera quality, your network capabilities, your pc’s capacity. The quality of what you receive is also influenced by the capacity of the other party of the conversation.

Call status information

Call rate - Indicates the maximum bandwidth that Movi is allowed to use for sending or receiving data. This is configurable through the Settings.
Resolution – The higher, the better. Camera capabilities and call rate are two main factors in deciding what will be the resolution. Remember that to high resolution compared to your network capabilities might also reduce quality.
Channel rate – The amount of video/audio information being sent/received. The actual bandwidth will be a little higher due to control information that is sent as well. If the video channel rate plus the audio channel rate is dramatically smaller than the call rate, it’s due to either experiencing packet loss, or the camera providing information at less than 30fps.

Normal
Reduced

The indicator is gray when you are not in a call.
It is possible for you to adjust your network- and video settings to improve your video and sound.

Packet/Current loss – How much information never reached its destination. Packet loss is a result of bad network connection and cause bad audio/video qua l i t y.
Jitter – The average time difference between information packets received by the far end.

Jagged video

If you are experiencing jagged video or sound during a call, you could have packet loss due to reduced network performance or wrong bandwidth.
