ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU MAY NEED TO
KNOW
The following sections provide additional information on various features of the Conference
Application.

CONFERENCE PHONE

• A Conference Phone call consists of a four-way audio call in which the conference room
and up to three remote parties can hear each other. The Conference Phone's audio devices
consist of the hands-free speaker and 16 built-in beam forming microphones.
• A conference call always starts off with a single remote party. The Conference Phone user
adds remote parties one at a time. Individual parties can be added to and removed from a
conference call at any time with a limit of three remote parties.
• An incoming caller cannot call directly into the conference call. The incoming call appears
on a conference avatar and must be added to the conference by the Conference Phone user.
• The audio output from Conference Phone calls always goes to the phone's built-in
hands-free speakers. The HDMI device's speakers are not used.
• The volume on the HDMI monitor should be muted or turned to its lowest setting.
• The Conference Phone generates audible tones to all conferenced parties whenever a user
enters or leaves the call.

VIDEO PHONE

The Video Phone includes all the features of Conference Phone, plus the following:
• With the Video Enabled Conferencing option, conference calls can be video-enabled.
Simultaneous two-way video streams are established with each remote party that is video
capable. Video capable means the remote party can display a video signal from the Video
Phone and is optionally camera-equipped.
• Parties added to a conference call start off with video connections if they are capable.
Otherwise they are audio only.
• Each remote party receives a composite image consisting of the Video Phone-attached
video camera, their own camera/video, and the other conference party videos. The Video
Phone HDMI device displays this same composite image.
• In a two-party video call, the user cannot see Video Phone's local camera on the HDMI
display, unless they have turned on Self View.
• It is possible that for certain remote parties, the video connection could be uni-directional.
This would happen for instance if either Video Phone or the remote party was not
camera-equipped.
• For details on how video conferencing interacts with the Remote Desktop App, see "Basic
Rules on How Presentation Sharing Works" on page 69.
• You can make video calls using MiCollab Conference as a video endpoint.
