Hiding or Showing User Interface Elements

By default, the system information, status bar, and navigation bar fade from the screen after a call has been connected for 10 seconds. This interval resets after any interaction with the system. You can adjust the duration of the fade out interval by adjusting the Fade Out Timeout preference in User Preferences : Appearance. To hide or show these user interface elements at any time during a call, press the button.

Note: The user interface does not hide if the system is overheating. System overheating icons appear in the status bar. Refer to “The Main Screen” on page 9 for more information about the system overheating icons.

Managing Audio

You can identify the video caller who is speaking in the call, adjust the volume of the audio, and mute audio inputs.

Identifying the Dominant Speaker

 

 

When a video participant in a call is speaking, the dominant speaker icon

appears in

the display in the video image from that participant.

 

Adjusting Volume

 

 

To adjust the volume in a call, use the

button on the remote control or on the phone.

You can also adjust the volume of other inputs and the treble and bass for line out by adjusting preferences in User Preferences : Audio.

Volume preferences for audio inputs appear with an audio meter next to the slider. The audio meter expands below the slider when you select the slider and then press OK on the remote control.

The audio meter displays the level of the transmitted voice. The meter is calibrated in decibels (dB) RMS below digital full scale (DFS). The meter is accurate to ± 1 dB. A level of 0 dB is the maximum. Levels below –50 dB are not displayed, and indicate a very quiet or inactive input. Typical levels during a call peak around –28 to –22 dB DFS.

Use the audio meter to determine the best volume setting. For example, if you are adjusting the volume of the active microphone, position yourself the same distance from the microphone as participants would be in the room during a video conference. Speak and observe the color of the bars that appear in the audio meter. Green bars indicate an acceptable setting at normal speaking volume. Yellow bars are acceptable if you are shouting or speaking loudly. Avoid settings that produce red bars in the audio meter.
