Terminology used

There are few terms in need of a proper definition:

About Selfview

In this user guide, the term Selfview means the
outgoing image. In a normal video call using the
main camera, this will be the image of yourself.
The Selfview button toggles the images between
Far End, Selfview and Dual Video Stream (if
applicable).
About Point-to–point and MultiSite
The term point-to–point refers to a video meeting
with no more that two parties, while the term
MultiSite, refers to a video conference consisting of
several participants.

About near end and far end

In a point-to–point video call, your side is the near
end and the other party represents the far end.
If you are a
part of the blue
team, this side
of the video
call will be the
near end...
...the orange
team will then
be the far end
for you.
The terms near end and far end will be used
consistently throughout this user guide.

About dual video stream

Your video system supports the use of dual
video streams in video meetings. This means
that you can transmit and receive things like PC
presentations and DVD footage during the video
meeting, in addition to the usual video signal you
receive and transmit. Dual video stream is an
optional feature.
The wonderful thing about this is that it opens up
for presentations of things made with tools that
require PC-software only used by specialists.
One example could be the results of geological
surveys in the oil business. A survey result
presentation can be important for crucial decision
making, but how do you show this to people
located thousands of miles apart?
The answer is simple; hook up your PC to the video
system, set it up for dual video stream and give
your presentation as the second video stream!
Details about dual video stream usage can be
found in the article Dual video
The exact look of the screen during a dual video
stream session is determined by the
layout.
