3. As a final step, use the focus knob on top of the ViaVideo
camera unit to get a clear image in the main screen’s near vid eo
window (displayed whenever you are not in a call). Turn the knob
to the right to focus on objects further away from the lens, and
to the left for closer objects.
Note If the ViaVideo application presents the main screen, but an
animation is displayed in the near video window, check to
make sure that your camera unit is turned on, and that the
power and USB cables are connected correctly. For more
information, see “Troubleshooting,” on page 77.
Camera Calibration
After your ViaVideo camera unit has been turned on for 1/2 hour or
more, ViaVideo presents the Camera Calibration screen in the
application window so that you can calibrate the camera for low light
settings. Once your camera has been calibrated, you will not need
to calibrate again unless you move the camera unit to a new
computer.
To calibrate your camera:
1. Slide the camera switch to the Video Mute position.
ViaVideo performs the calibration immediately once the switch
is in the Video Mute position.
2. ViaVideo notifies you when calibration is complete. This should
take just a few moment s.
3. Slide the camera switch back to the On position.
You can also calibrate your camera manually in the Camera
Calibration screen (System Info>Diagnostics>Camera Calibration).
