Adjusting The Monitor's Color Balance, Sharpness, And Brightness - Polycom VSX 3000 Administrator's Manual

Adjusting the Monitor's Color Balance, Sharpness, and Brightness

What you see during a multipoint call can depend on factors such as the
VSX system monitor configuration, the number of sites in the call, whether
content is shared, and whether dual monitor emulation is used.
• The VSX 8000 supports up to six sites in a multipoint call. During calls that
include more than four sites with Discussion or Presentation mode
selected, the VSX 8000 displays the site that is hosting the conference along
with the last three sites where people spoke.
• When the system that is streaming a multipoint call is also hosting the
conference, the stream displays the current speaker, no matter how
Multipoint Mode is configured. When the system that is streaming a
multipoint call is not hosting the conference, the stream displays the view
from the streaming system.
Points to note about Discussion mode:
• To correctly display Discussion mode, you must select both Near and Far video
sources for Monitor 1.
• To correctly display Discussion mode for multipoint calls with three sites shown
on two monitors, you must select both Near and Far video sources for Monitor
1, and clear Far for Monitor 2.
• You cannot display Discussion mode on Monitor 2.
To select video sources, use the configuration settings described on page 3-4.
In most cases, the monitor you connect to your system may be set to a
configuration that is appropriate for video conferencing applications.
Depending on your environment and model of monitor, however, the video
may exhibit one of these problems:
• Picture is too dark or too bright
• Colors appear faded
• Picture has too much of one color — for example, the picture may appear
greenish
• Picture has blocky or softened edge detail
If you notice any of these problems, adjust the monitor until the display seems
acceptable. Use the video diagnostics test as described in the following steps,
or purchase a calibration program DVD tool to help you fine-tune the display
settings.
