Setting and Using Camera Presets

Camera presets are stored camera positions that you can create ahead of time or during a call. The system uses preset 0 as the default camera position for all preset camera positions. This default camera position is zoomed out, panned straight ahead with horizontal tilt.

Presets allow you to:

•Quickly point a camera at pre-defined locations in a room.

•Select a video source such as a document camera or an auxiliary camera.

If your system’s camera supports pan, tilt, and zoom movement, you can create up to 10 preset camera positions for the near-end camera. Each preset stores the following information:

•Camera number

•Camera zoom level

•Direction the camera points

These presets remain in effect until you change them.

If far-end camera control is allowed, you can create 10 presets for the far-end camera. These presets are saved only for the duration of the call. You may also be able to use presets that were created at the far end to control the far-end camera.

Points to note about camera control and layouts:

•When in a call, selecting near camera control pans and zooms the local camera without changing the layout.

•When out of a call, selecting camera control changes the self-view from Picture-In-Picture (PIP) to full screen.

•Incoming calls override the full-screen self-view layout.
