1 Introduction
Monitors
The main monitor displays the far-end and near-end videoconferencing sites in addition to the
menus and video from connected video sources. The second monitor displays selfview,
Snapshots and Duo Video.
Codec
The Codec is the heart of the system. The main task for the Codec 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. -Hence the name Codec; compression and
decompression.
The system is easily movable with four wheels and one handle. The Codec is located inside
the column and behind the Codec cover, which is easy removable.
The column stands on a solid base with an access hatch on the rear. On the inside of the
hatch there are pockets for storing remote control and microphones. Pull the hatch to open.
Inside the base there is room for additional equipment, e.g. a VCR/DVD, and for storage of
cables. The Digital Natural Audio Module is built into the column.
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 batteries from the backside of the remote control.
The reach of the remote control signal is 20 meters. For users sitting in an open plan office,
this can cause problems. Use the little, white switch placed under the batteries to change the
reach of the signal from 20 meters to 2 meters. This will prevent you from unintentionally
controlling your neighbor's video system, when you control your own system.
