The following sections describe how to control the cameras and
sound on your ViewStation EX system.
Your system has a built-in, auto-focusing, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ)
camera which you can control manually or set to auto-tracking

videoconference. Manual control mode and auto-tracking mode are
available for the near and far cameras.

1. Press the remote control's NEAR button twice. Numbered local
video sources appear at the bottom of the screen, where:
