Camera
The built-in camera includes a high quality colour camera with a fast pan/tilt/zoom action. The
camera is controlled by the system’s infra-red remote control and operates pan/tilt, focus and
zoom.
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 - the name Codec comes from a combination of the
two words compression and decompression. Intelligent Call Management (ICM) and the SoftMux
are features built into the
Codec.
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.
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.
