Controlling far end video sources

Getting access by means of the far end video controls
I
n point-to–point video calls your
system may be connected to a far end
system with several inputs for various
video sources. You may actually get
access to these by means of the far end
video controls.
Your system can access the inputs only.
The far end may have connected other
sources to the inputs than the input
names normally should suggest.
When the far end system is a
TANDBERG system both parties will be
notified when one party tries to access
one of the video sources of the other
party. This may, or may not, take place
with systems from other vendors as
well.
A text will be displayed for some
seconds at the top of both parties'
screen indicating the input source
accessed. Example: PC.
If you display the other party in full
screen, this will be the only indication
you get when the other party is
accessing any of your video sources.
If you set the screen to display both
parties you will see what the other party
sees, since both incoming and outgoing
video are displayed on your screen.
This feature is not accessible in
MultiSite video meetings, since the term
far end will loose its meaning when
there are more than two parties in a call.

What is VNC used for?

Imagine you want to present contents residing on a PC located elsewhere. You may
then use an application known as PC SoftPresenter to display PC images on your
system without using a VGA cable (PC Presenter). The system and your PC must be
connected to the same LAN. In addition, VNC (Virtual Network Computing) server
software must be installed on your PC.
