Video Conference Collaboration
The FLX2 System is equipped with balanced analog audio input and output to be connected to 3rd party video or PC conferencing system. This allows the FLX Microphones and Speaker to be used as Microphones and Speaker for the video call. It also provides Acoustic Echo Cancelation and Noise Control to the video call.
Connecting a Video Conference System
In the advanced audio setting (see page 40), change the Aux Audio setting for Aux Out to MIC. Then connect one of the AUX OUT on the FLX2 Base Station via an appropriate mono balanced or unbalanced cable with 3.5mm plugs to the „Mic Input‟ on the video conference system.
The line level audio AUX IN on the FLX2 Base Station should be connected, via the appropriate mono balanced or unbalanced 3.5mm cable, to the „line output‟ of the video conference system. See page 47 for a list of audio cables required for the different integrations using AUX IN and AUX OUT.
As the FLX system provides the Echo Cancelation for the call, any Echo Canceler in the Video Conferencing unit needs to be switched off. Not switching off the Echo Canceler in the Video Conferencing unit will negatively affect the audio on the FLX Speaker and Microphones. Please visit the documentation of your video conferencing unit on how to disable the Echo Canceler.
Any audio device like external speaker or TV speaker attached to the video conferencing unit needs to be disabled. The FLX Speaker and Microphones become your only audio devices for the Video Conferencing call. Any other devices will affect the Echo Canceler and will cause negative impact on the audio of the call.
NOTE: For security reasons the FLX Microphones will not send any audio to the AUX OUT while in the Charger Base. The microphones have to be removed from the Charger Base to send audio data to the AUX OUT connector.
Configuring the Analog Audio
For best audio results, the AUX IN and AUX OUT connectors have to be configured in the right way to receive best results with your video conferencing unit. This requires testing and setting of the values in your environment. See page 37 on setting the volume for the AUX OUT connector and how to set the level for the AUX IN connector. This can be either microphone level or line level. .
Making a Video Call
The FLX2 System acts as a wireless Microphone, Speaker and mixer for the video conference call. Once configured, a video call can be made using the 3rd party user interface supplied with the video conference system. Simply remove the Microphones from the charger to activate the analog audio input.
