Setting Up the Cameras

The cameras are set up correctly when images are centered and in focus on the display screens and the white balance has been configured. The hardware setup software provides a camera Auto Adjust feature and a way to use targets to fine-tune the camera’s focus.

Attach the Camera Target

Two camera targets are provided with the Cisco TelePresence system: a large white target and a smaller target. You attach the large white target to the table prior to performing Auto Adjust (white balancing).

Attach the large Camera target to the corresponding Table segment, with the clamps matching the counterbore feature under the table. Center the target on the edge of the table and standing vertical with the clamps underneath the table holding it tight. The target pattern should face the camera.

Start the Software Setup

•From the Hardware Setup page under Troubleshooting, click the Camera radio button.

•Click Start to begin the camera setup. You should see output from each camera in the appropriate camera display area.

•Click Setup under the image of a display screen to begin adjustments for the camera focused on that screen.

If you need further information about testing or adjusting this device, click Help in the content area or see the troubleshooting charts in this section.

Note Make sure that the table edge is between the hash marks on both sides of the display.

Auto Adjust

•After attaching the large white camera target to the table, click Auto Adjust.

This action allows software to adjust the camera settings automatically. You will see various images and colors on the displays during the adjustment. Auto Adjust takes approximately 20 seconds.

Align the Camera

•Click Show Camera Target.

•Using the zoom ring on the camera lens, and the left/right, up/down, and rotation adjustment screws on the camera, perform the following adjustments:

–Make manual adjustments to the camera focused on the target to align the red plus sign to the center plus sign on the target.

–For the center display, zoom and align the camera so that the curved lines on each side of the target touches the sides of the display.

–For the left display, zoom and align the camera so that the curved line on the right side of the display touches the red adjustment line at the right edge of the display to corresponding lines on the target. On both sides of the display, you will see two small red hash marks. Adjust the camera so that the edge of the table is positioned vertically exactly between the hash marks on either side of the display.

See Figure 9-3for the location of the adjustment screws on the camera. See Figure 9-4, Figure 9-5, and Figure 9-6for the correct placement of the curved lines and plus signs on the camera target.
