4.2 CONTROL MODE DISPLAY OPTIONS
There are a number of options in the ‘View’ and ‘Settings’ menus that make
controlling a conference easier:
• Small or large icons
• Displaying seat numbers
• Rotating an image
• Displaying a red background for active microphones
NOTE: These options are also available in layout mode, and are described in
section 3.2.
Small or large icons- if you are working on a layout with a large number of
icons (more than 50, for example), you can activate the ‘Small Icons’
option. This reduces the size of the screen icons.
• Select the ‘View’ menu and click on ‘Small Icons’.
To restore the icons to normal size:
• Select the ‘View’ menu and click on ‘Large Icons’.
Displaying seat numbers- this option displays the seat numbers assigned to
a microphone beneath that microphone’s icon. The default setting is on. If
you wish to disable this option:
• Select the ‘View’ menu and click on ‘Numbers’.
Rotate - the layout may have been created looking from a different position
than the one you occupy as operator. To compensate for this, the rotate
function allows the layout to be rotated clockwise in 90°steps around the
centre of the window. The icons and seat numbers are always shown
upright. To rotate the synoptic layout:
• Select the ‘View’ menu and click on ‘Rotate Image’.
The layout will automatically rotate through 90°about the central point of
the part of the layout that is visible in the window. To rotate the image
through 180°, use ‘Rotate’ twice, and for 270°, use ‘Rotate’ three times.
Displaying a red background for active microphones- when this option is
enabled, active microphone icons will have a red background. To do so:
• Select the ‘View’ menu and click on ‘Red background for active mics’.
