Setting Description
Far Control of Near Specifies whether the far site can control the position of the near
Camera site camera. When this option is selected, a user at the far site can
control the framing and angle of the camera for the best view of the
near site.
Backlight Specifies whether to have the camera automatically adjust for a
Compensation light background. Backlight compensation is best used in
situations where the subject appears darker than the background.
Primary Camera Specifies which camera is the main camera.
Camera Direction Specifies the direction the camera moves when using the arrow
buttons on the remote control.
3. Select and add names and specify icons for each video source.
4. Select to go to Video Quality.
5. Select Motion or Sharpness for the video inputs:
• If you select Motion, moving people or objects move smoothly, but the
picture may lose some detail. This setting is best for an auxiliary camera or
a VCR.
• If you choose Sharpness, the picture will be sharp and clear, though
motion may not be smooth. Choose this setting for document cameras.
Sharpness is available in point-to-point calls only.
6. Specify when to use Pro-Motion for video inputs set for motion.
Pro-Motion™ provides 50/60 fields per second interlaced video for TV-like quality at
higher bandwidths.
