  • Page 2: Setup Procedure

    The Executive Summary is available at this link SETUP PROCEDURE Setting up the XT5000 720 system was straightforward. The compact CODEC and the HD camera can both be mounted adjacent to the picture monitor/s. A system microphone pod, infrared remote control and an external power supply completed the package.
  • Page 3 Hardware Description General This compact XT5000 720 CODEC may either be mounted within a picture monitor cabinet or adjacent to the monitors/s. Provided with two auto switching 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections and capable of conferencing up to a connection speed of 6 Mbit/s point to point;...
  • Page 4 wCIF (512 x 288). Optimal resolution w448p (768 x 448). High definition w720p (1280 x 720). Some HD picture monitors have a tendency to crop images at the edges and lose information. The main video output of the XT5000 CODEC contains the on-screen menus which are vital to operate the CODEC, so to avoid problems an HDMI Over-scan control is provided within the set-up menu which adjusts the size of the display images to preserve all of the information.
  • Page 5 POP is particularly useful when a single large screen display device such as a plasma/LCD panel or video/data protector is used as it permits greater flexibility in the choice of image layout. In single monitor mode all three images may be displayed simultaneously: the near, far and presentation images.

    PC could be transmitted simultaneously and displayed on two monitors at the remote site. When two XT5000 720 systems were conferenced together over a 6 Mbit/s connection set to the UK location default settings, it was possible to transmit two simultaneous high resolution images, with the main camera channel at 720p @50fps and the presentation channel at 720p @60fps.
  • Page 9 The CODEC remote control includes a single presentation start/stop button: Pressing this button for a short period selects the PC presentation source and opens an H.239 connection Pressing the button again for a short period closes the H.239 connection The main camera occupies one channel and the source connected to the DVI-I input the second channel, normally a PC.
  • Page 10 Alternatively several user controls are available during a call from the graphic user interface; this is accessed by pressing the OK button on the remote control. The system takes a significant period to boot up from cold (~70 seconds), on screen graphics provide useful user feedback that the system is booting up.
  • Page 12 The XT5000 720 proprietary microphone pod includes three microphones to guarantee 360 degree coverage. Audio beam forming is used to steer the overall microphone pod pickup in the direction of the speaker. The pod includes a mute button; this button is illuminated red when muted.
  • Page 13 VIDEO TESTS SUMMARY The video quality experienced between XT5000 720 systems at 720p 50fps was very good; the high resolution images and the motion rendition at 720p 50fps were impressive. The ability to transmit two simultaneous channels of high resolution, high frame rate images is a welcome development.
