Environmental Issues
Thank you for buying a product, which contributes to a reduction in pollution, and thereby helps
save the environment. Our products reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby reduce
pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper)
and low energy consuming products.
Battery handling
Batteries for the Remote Control are Long Life and Alkaline batteries saving the environment;
please follow guidelines on the packing material for handling and disposal of the batteries.
Waste handling
There is no need to send any products or material back to TANDBERG as there are no
consumables to take care of. Please contact your local dealer for information on local waste
handling and recycling of electronic products.
Production of products
Our factories employ the most efficient environmental methods for reducing waste and pollution
and ensuring the products are recyclable.
Digital User Manuals
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that it has replaced the printed versions of its User Manuals
with a digital CD version. Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one CD which
can be used with all TANDBERG products, in a variety of languages. The environmental benefits
of this are significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper are huge. A simple web-
based search feature helps users directly access the information they need. In addition, the
TANDBERG video systems now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a
range of useful features and tips. If desired, the user manuals on the CD can still be printed
locally.

1.1 At a Glance
Camera
The main camera is
mounted on top of the
monitor. The main
camera includes a high
quality color camera with
a fast pan/tilt/zoom
action. The main camera
is controlled by the
system’s infra-red
remote control and
operates pan/tilt, focus
and zoom.
Monitor
The monitor displays the
far-end and near-end
videoconferencing sites
in addition to the menus.
Note that the monitor
pictures/drawings used
in this manual might
differ from the actual
monitor model shipped
with the system.
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.

Introduction
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
another video system, when you control your own system.
Microphone
The high quality table microphone is designed to be placed on a table during a videoconference.
The ideal location for the microphone is on a flat surface at least 2m (6.5 ft) from the front of the
system. The microphone cable should always point towards the system. The system will
automatically equalize sound levels. Loud and soft voices are picked up and transmitted to the far
end at approximately the same level.

The above behaviour is similar for both single monitor systems and dual monitor systems.
Selfview applies for the main monitor.
3.2.2.1 Local PC Display
When using the screen as your PC screen, it is recommended to set Local PC Display to On, see
Screen Settings. That implies that you can display your PC locally while having a
videoconference, and you can keep on working without having the Far End participant watching
your PC screen.
It is also recommended to keep the Auto Layout setting On (default) to get a suitable layout when
toggling from Local PC Display mode to standard conference mode.
Use the Selfview button to toggle between Local PC Display mode and standard videoconference
mode. An indicator tells you that your PC image is displayed locally.
Example:
You are using the system as a PC and get an incoming call.
When the setting “Use Screen as Local PC monitor” is On, you will keep your PC image
displayed locally and the incoming call pops up as smaller images in a 1+3 layout. You
will see Local PC displayed in the big picture and Far End and Near End (your self)
displayed in smaller pictures.
Press the Selfview button to switch to standard conference mode. The Local PC image
is no longer displayed and Far End is displayed in the big picture. Press Selfview again
to see Near End. Pressing Selfview a third time will bring back the Local PC display
mode.

Layout
The layout of the screen can either be shown as Picture in Picture (PIP) or Picture outside Picture
(POP) when displaying more than one video image. The behaviour of the Layout button is
dependent on the Picture Layout setting in Screen Settings.
3.2.3.1 Picture in Picture
When Picture Layout is set to PIP, the Layout button makes it possible to see a second image in
a smaller view in one of the corners of the screen. The second image will be placed on top of the
main image. The user can decide in which corner the second image is to be displayed.
3.2.3.2 Picture outside Picture
When Picture Layout is set to POP, the Layout button makes it possible to see up to three images
in a composition optimized for wide screens. The second image can be displayed either as a
side-by-side the main image (1+1) or smaller images next to the main image (1+2 and 1+3).
Press the Layout button once to get side-by-side view (1+1). Press again to get the layouts 1+2
and 1+3, and finally go back to full screen view. You can also go back to full screen directly by
pressing and holding Layout for 1 second. It is recommended to use Picture outside Picture for
wide screen monitor systems.
3.2.3.3 Auto Layout
The system will automatically choose the best layout for your call. The layouts vary depending on
how many participants there are and if you use a dual video source or not. You can however
always change layout manually with the Layout button. Auto Layout applies when you open or
close a dual stream, or add or disconnect participants.
Auto Layout also includes the former automatic PIP. That implies that PIP will automatically be
shown when suitable, e.g. to display selfview when you move your near end camera. The
automatic PIP times out after a couple of seconds.
If Auto Layout is Off you will get no automatic layout changes during a call and the user must
manually control the images with the Layout button. Auto Layout is default On. To turn Auto
Layout Off, go to Screen Settings.

Answer setting is On+Mic off, see Auto Answer. The icon will start to flash when you start
speaking. Remember to turn the microphone on before a meeting.

Streaming
Streaming lets you broadcast your meeting to participants on web. The web participants can
listen to the meeting, see snapshots, but not participate themselves. Snapshots of current stream
(if MultiSite), selfview, far end and DuoVideo streams are accessible via http. See Appendix 6 for
descriptions of the possible snapshot files.
How to use Streaming:
1. Choose Streaming from the Call Menu to open the Streaming menu.
2. Press Start Streaming from the menu line. An indicator will appear on the screen when
streaming is activated.
3. Press Stop Streaming to end streaming. Streaming will also end when you disconnect the
call.
4. Press Streaming Settings if you want to change streaming settings (see Streaming
Settings below)
How to view streaming from a PC:
1. After streaming is started, an easy way to view the streamed audio/video is to start your
Web browser and enter the IP-address of the streaming system.
2. After the Web page of the system is shown, click on Streaming. Alternatively, enter
http://<codec ip-address>/stream.sdp
Streaming Settings
Address
Address is defined as the IP-address of a streaming client, streaming
server or a multicast address. Giving an address in the range 224.0.0.1-
239.255.255.255 will broadcast the stream to any host that has joined
the specified multicast group. Specifying normal broadcast address
255.255.255.255 will broadcast to any members on the LAN.
Address Port
If several codec’s are streaming to the same IP-address, different ports
have to be used in order for the client to know which stream to receive.
If the first codec streams on port 2240 and the second codec on port
2250, the client has to specify which port to listen to. Video is
transmitted on the specified port; audio is transmitted on the port
number 4 above the specified video port, in this case 2244 and 2254.
TTL/Router
Hops
This is used for streaming data to limit how many routers the data
should pass before it is rejected. If TTL is set to 2, data will not traverse
more than 2 router hops.
