If your LifeSize system is a participant in a multiway call with another LifeSize system that is
hosting the call, you can manage the layout of video from all participants in the call. In this
case, the same number and type of screen layouts that are available to the LifeSize system
hosting the call are available to you for selection. Both your system and the LifeSize system
that is hosting the call must be installed with software release v3.0 or later. For the dominant
speaker icon and appearance of the far end participant in the largest video window in a
layout to function properly when using this feature, your system and the LifeSize system that
is hosting the call must be installed with software release v4.0.
Controlling a Far End Camera
You can control a far end camera during a video conference in the same way you control a
near end camera if the far end camera is enabled properly.
If your LifeSize system is participating in a multiway video call hosted by another LifeSize
system, you can also control the cameras of all participants in the call, not just the camera of
the system hosting the call. Both your system and the LifeSize system hosting the call must
be installed with software release v3.0 or later for this feature to function properly.
During a video call, a camera icon appears in the video image of the participant whose
camera you are controlling when the user interface is visible. An orange camera icon
indicates control of the primary (near) input. A blue camera icon in a far end video
image indicates control of the far end camera. By default, the near camera is selected.
To select a far end camera to control, do the following from any call screen:
Black Remote Control:
Press the near/far camera button on the remote control. The blue camera icon
appears in the first far end video image in the call. If more than one video participant is
connected, continue to press the near/far camera button until the blue camera icon
appears in the far end video image of the participant whose camera you wish to control.
After you select the far end participant whose camera you wish to control, you can choose
the far end input device to control by pressing the input button on the remote control.
A menu of the input devices that are available for selection appears. Use the arrow keys on
the remote control to select a device and then press OK.
Silver Remote Control:
Press the far camera button. The blue camera icon appears in the first far end video
image in the call. If more than one video participant is connected, press the call button
to select a different far end participant. The blue camera icon moves to the video image of
the next far end participant in the call.
