Introduction
Codec
The codec is the heart of the system. Its main task is the compression of outgoing video, audio
and data, the transmission of this information to the far end and the decompression of the
incoming information - the name codec comes from a combination of the two words compression
and decompression.
Remote Control
The remote control is used to control all functions of the system. If the screen saver is activated
(black monitor), touching the remote control will automatically wake up the system. The remote
control uses 4 AAA batteries. The system will tell you when batteries are running low. Change the
batteries at the back of the remote control. Please follow the guidelines on the packing material
for handling and disposal instructions for the batteries.
The reach of the remote control signal is 20 meters (65 ft). The remote control IR receiver is
located on the camera. For users working in an open environment with multiple systems
deployed, this can cause other systems to respond to your remote control. Use the little, white
switch placed under the batteries to change the reach of the signal from 20 meters (65 ft) to 2
meters (6.5 ft). This will prevent you from unintentionally controlling another video system, when
you control your own system.
If the screen saver is activated (black or blank monitor), pick up the remote control and touch the
sides. This will automatically wake up the system.
Microphone
The high quality table microphone is designed to be placed on a table during a video meeting. Up
to three microphones can be connected to the system without additional equipment. The ideal
location for the microphone is on a flat surface at least 2m (6.5 ft) from the front of the system.
The microphone cable should always point towards the system. The system will automatically
equalize sound levels. Loud and soft voices are picked up and transmitted to the far end at
approximately the same level.
