Controlling What You See

Adjusting your cameras lets you show conference participants what you want

them to see. You can adjust cameras and other video sources before the

meeting starts and while the meeting is in progress.

Selecting and Adjusting a Camera or Other Video Source

You can use the remote control to select the main camera or any other near-

site or far-site video sources, such as document cameras, laptops, VCRs or

DVD players.

You can also use the remote control to adjust the main camera on VSX 7000

and VSX 8000 systems. If you have a VSX 3000 system, you must pan, tilt,

and focus the main camera manually. You can also adjust any auxiliary

camera or far-site camera that supports pan, tilt, and zoom movement.

You can adjust the far-site camera only if the camera supports pan and tilt, and the far

site system is configured to allow you to control its camera.

To select a near-site or far-site camera or other video source:

1. If you are in a call, press Near or Far to select either a near-site or

far-site camera or other video source. The icon on the screen indicates

which you can select:

If you see this icon… You can control this…

Near-site source

Far-site source

2. Press Camera and then press the number button that corresponds

to the camera or other video source you want to select at the near or

far site. For example, press 1 to select the main camera.

The image from the camera or video source you selected appears on the

screen.
