Microphone
The microphone is integrated in the rubber foot supporting the front of the codec. This is an ideal
location for the high quality voice pickup needed during a videoconference. Sound reaches the
microphone through a small hole in the rubber. Care should be taken not to cover up the hole, as
this may lead to deterioration of sound quality. Any liquid spilled should be cleaned up
immediately to avoid damage to the microphone.
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

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.
