Controlling far end video sources

In point-to–point video calls your system may be
connected to a far end system with several inputs
for various video sources. You may actually get
access to these by means of the far end video
controls.
Your system can access the inputs only. The
far end may have connected other sources
to the inputs than the input names normally
should suggest.
When the far end system is a TANDBERG system
both parties will be notified when one party tries to
access one of the video sources of the other party.
This may, or may not, take place with systems from
other vendors as well.
A text will be displayed for some seconds at the top
of both parties' screen indicating the input source
accessed. Example: PC.
If you display the other party in full screen, this will
be the only indication you get when the other party
is accessing any of your video sources.
If you set the screen to display both parties
you will see what the other party sees,
since both incoming and outgoing video are
displayed on your screen.
This feature is not accessible in MultiSite
video meetings, since the term far end will
loose its meaning when there are more than
two parties in a call.

What is VNC used for?

Imagine you want to present contents residing on a PC located elsewhere. You may then use an application
known as PC SoftPresenter to display PC images on your system without using a VGA cable (PC Presenter).
The system and your PC must be connected to the same LAN. In addition, VNC (Virtual Network Computing)
server software must be installed on your PC.
Free software can be downloaded from http://www.realvnc.com. Install the software by running the
downloaded file.
This is an optional feature—contact your system administrator or your TANDBERG Representative for details.
