AMC Audio controls

There are audio controls for controlling the client computer’s speaker output. These controls are only available in the MPEG-4 video format and when audio is enabled, see Audio Settings, on page 23.

Click the Speaker and Microphone buttons to switch the sound off and on, for the speaker and microphone, respectively.

Use the slider to control the volume on the speaker and microphone. The volume can be set between 0 and 100.

When using Half-duplexmode, this button toggles between allowing you to speak and listen. The first icon indicates that you can talk and the speaker attached to the video server plays your voice. The second icon indicates that you will hear audio from the video server, but no audio is sent to web clients. When in simplex talk

mode, the icon toggles between allowing you to speak, and is dimmed when you do not want other clients to receive any audio.

Note that these AMC toolbar functions can also be accessed by right-clicking in the image. For information on using Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls, please see Pan Tilt Zoom, on page 37.
