Controlling The Vidyoroom; Using The Remote Control - Vidyo VidyoRoom HD-220 User Manual

4. Controlling the VidyoRoom

There are a number of ways for you to control your VidyoRoom, so you can select the method that suits you
the best. Keep in mind, however, that you can switch among the various methods whenever you want.
The traditional way to control the VidyoRoom is by using the remote control that comes with the VidyoRoom.
The remote control provides you with quick key shortcuts to frequent VidyoRoom activities. (If you prefer to
use a keyboard rather than the provided remote control, you can connect a standard USB keyboard to one of
the USB ports on your VidyoRoom. For more information about using a keyboard, see Appendix B on page
73.)
As an alternative to the remote control, you can use the VidyoRemote instead. The VidyoRemote is a web
application that you can use with VidyoRoom if you have a laptop with a browser.
You can also directly connect a laptop to your VidyoRoom if you want to share applications that are on your
laptop. To connect the laptop, you use the VGA2USB Adapter.
This chapter describes how to use the buttons on the remote control, how to use your web browser to
connect to VidyoRemote, as well as how to connect a laptop and use it for sharing.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control that comes with your system enables you to navigate on-screen as well as perform other
tasks to control the VidyoRoom. You can use the remote control in conjunction with the VidyoRemote
application if you want to. For more information about VidyoRemote, see the "Using the VidyoRemote"
section on page 17.
Some of the buttons on the remote control behave differently depending on whether or not you're in a
conference. The illustration on page 13 describes how the buttons work when you're not in a conference; the
illustration on page 14 describes how the buttons work when you are in a conference.
