Features Overview

TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE

This section of the User Guide outlines features available during a video call. Main emphasis has been put on features avail- able in point-to-point calls only (as opposed to video conference calls – also called MultiSite calls). However, features available for both point-to-point and MultiSite are also covered.

Observe that although Screen Layout features and Streaming indeed apply during video calls, they are not described in this section, but in Getting Acqainted with the System and Call Handling, respectively.

Screen Layout

You may set the system to show yourself (selfview), the other party, or a presenta- tion.

The TANDBERG 1700 MXP can also be used as a local PC display, without letting the other party see what’s on your PC screen.

Finally, you may also set up the system to display more than one image on the screen (Picture In Picture – PIP or Picture Outside Picture – POP).

For more on this, see Selfview, Local PC Display and Screen Layout.

Presentations

The Presentation Functionality in the system enables you to show other available video sources in addition to your Main Cam- era. This is perfect for meetings where you would like to show a PowerPoint presenta- tion, for example.

Use Presentation outside a call to make a local presentation for the people in your own meeting room. Use Presentation when you are in a call to make a presentation for the far end as well.

For more on this, see Presentation.

Dual Video Stream

With Dual Stream (optional feature) you have the opportunity to show two different live video streams simultaneously, main video and one additional source. This is handy when showing a presentation. You see the live presentation and the live video of the presenter simultaneously. Both par- ties must support Dual Video Stream to make this work. If not, the presentation will be sent as the main video stream instead.

For more on this, see Dual Video Stream.

Far End Camera Control

This is a feature that lets you pan, tilt, and zoom the far end camera. If far end presets are available you may access these as well, and you may also make use of any video sources that the far end may have at its disposal.

This feature requires a movable camera in the far end – i.e. communication between two 1700 MXP units will not provide far end camera control.

For more on this, see Far End Camera Control.

Presets

The far end may use camera presets to easily vary between predefined camera angles in their own end. Thus they eliminate the need to move their camera about in a manual way.

Your 1700 MXP may get access to these set- tings. If no presets have been stored and you try to access far end presets nothing will happen.

For more on this, see Far End Camera Control

– Using Far End Presets.

Accessing Far End Video Sources

In point-to-point video meetings your system may be connected to a system with several inputs for various video sources. You may get access to these by means of the Far End Video controls.

Observe that your system can access the inputs only. The far end may have connected other sources to the inputs than the input names normally should suggest.

For more on this, see Accessing Far End Video Sources.

Snapshots

The system can take a snapshot of your live video. Snapshot is handy when you are in a call with a system that does not support Dual Video Stream. Use Snapshot to show a snapshot of your presentation and continue the meeting with main camera.

For more on this, see Snapshots.

Text Chat

You may use your 1700MXP to send and receive text messages using the chatting function available.

All you need is to select the Text Chat func- tion and use the keypad as you would when sending text messages (SMS) using your cellular phone.

For more on this, see Text Chat.

Streaming

Streaming lets you broadcast your meeting to participants on the web. The web participants can view the meeting, listen to the meeting, see snapshots, but not participate themselves. Snapshots of current stream (if MultiSite), selfview, far end and Dual Video Streams are accessible via http.

For more on this, see Streaming.
