microphone was muted. Both Near (local) and Far (remote) microphone mute status were also indicated on the display screen.

A call status page is readily available via the remote control Help button and indicates: the network in use; the target data rate; the audio and the video encoding/decoding algorithms together with:

•Statistics on the actual audio and video data rate;

•The video frame rate; the audio and video packet loss;

•The call number;

•The duration of the call.

The Stereo audio system (StereoSound™ performed well with the camera in wide angle (zoomed out) to include a group of conference participants. The stereo audio then helped to identify the position of the participant speaking in the group. In close- up however the stereo image did not alter so that the picture showed a close up view of the presenter but the accompanying sound still matched the wide angle shot. In other words, the video image showed the speaker ‘centre stage’ while the stereo audio ‘image’ remained with the speaker off to the right or left. This disconnection of the video picture and the stereo audio ‘image’ could be distracting.

The People + Content™ application to establish a connection between a PC/laptop and the CODEC via the Local Area Network is enabled either by pressing the remote control Graphics button or the on-screen Play button within the People + Content™ IP PC application. This application only operates under Windows; Apple Mac operating systems are not supported.

The CODEC accepts still images transmitted from other units as snap-shots but does not transmit snapshots. The Snapshot button on the remote handset can select:

∙System Calendar

∙Recent Calls List

∙System Info

∙Call Status

This could be confusing to the occasional user.
