Controlling Cameras

If you are using LifeSize Room with two cameras, only one camera can be active and
capturing video images at any time, even if all cameras are connected to the system. To
specify the active camera, refer to "Changing Video Inputs" on page 27. On the Primary
Input and Presentation Input selection screens, the inactive camera appears as a camera
icon in a grey selection box. The active camera appears as a selection box with its video
image. The blue LED of the active camera is brightly lit when the system is in use. The blue
LED of an inactive camera is dimly lit. If you disconnect the active camera, the inactive
camera automatically becomes the active camera. Reconnecting the disconnected camera
does not change the active camera selection.
