TANDBERG 6000 MXP Profile 5.9 Dual Monitor Note that this requires a system with dual monitor video output. The Dual Monitor option consists of an additional monitor, bigger cabinet top-plate and associated cabling. The Dual Monitor can be used to show full screen selfview, snapshots and Duo Video.
Peripheral Equipment 5.10 XGA Monitors and Projectors (Optional) The system can be delivered with optional single or dual TV/XGA monitors. It can also be connected to any DVI/VGA/PAL or NTSC display. Note that this requires a system with minimum one DVI-I output.
In Off mode some power may still be drawn in order to power indicator lights etc. EDID contains the information on which mode a specific monitor supports. TANDBERG supports all four modes. However, in F1 and above, all monitors not listed below are automatically set to Off.
5.12 Digital Monitor Power Management DMPM is monitor power management applied over the digital DVI interface. TANDBERG supports DMPM in software F2 and above. Six monitor power states are defined. Monitor On Power state: Transmitter (TANDBERG codec) and receiver (Monitor) are powered and active.
This standard contains information on product ID, basic display parameters, timing identifications and detailed timing descriptions. In F1 and above, TANDBERG will use the EDID information to decide which resolution to use, 800x600 @ 75Hz or 1024x768 @ 60Hz. Example (1024x768@60Hz)

6.3 Appendix 3 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 system. Iris control and lighting By default the system camera will use an automatic iris to compensate for changes in lighting. In addition to this feature, you may further assist the system to maintain the best possible image quality by paying special attention to environmental lighting and background colors as described below.
TANDBERG 6000 MXP Profile 6.4 Appendix 4 Guidelines for setting up videoconferencing rooms The following are a set of guidelines to consider when either building a videoconferencing room, or using an existing room for videoconferencing. Lighting: Low Contrast desired for light intensity.

Appendices 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 system 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 chair person 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).
TANDBERG 6000 MXP Profile 6.5 Appendix 5 Security The system has several features both to protect from unauthorized use and system access: Access Code: When Access Code is enabled, the user will be asked to enter an access code before he/she is able to make a call.
Page 261
All TANDBERG systems support both AES and DES encryption. By default this feature is enabled such that when connecting with any other video system or MCU, a TANDBERG system will attempt to establish a secure conference using AES or DES encryption. The TANDBERG system will attempt this for both IP and ISDN connections.
