Introduction TANDBERG Director Videoconferencing System

System Overview

The TANDBERG Director system is comprised of the following, as well as optional components that can and will enhance your videoconferencing experience.

Control Interface

Director Application Module (DAM)

The Director Application Module is an integrated control, presentation, and videoconferencing system. Using a TANDBERG 6000 codec, coupled with a video-scaling control system, allows effective local presentations as well as videoconferencing. The module has an easy access rear I/ O panel that allows for connections to various A/V and control devices. The XGA resolution output can be displayed on projectors, plasmas, or monitors. The 5U high, rack mountable package allows for easy integration into classrooms, boardrooms, or podiums.

Interactive SMART BoardTM

The Director can be used with the SMART BoardTM 3000i as the touch input device. This allows the user to conduct a local presentation or videoconference by selecting intuitive controls displayed on the board. Using the SMART BoardTM also allows for on-screen annotation and collaboration with another site, as well as transmitting the session to a remote site in real-time. Refer the REAR PROJECTION SMART BoardTM 3000i INSTALLATION GUIDE for more detailed description of features.

Touch Panel Control*

An optional 12” or 15” touch panel can be incorporated enabling a user to manage the presentation from a podium or desktop. In some cases, this touch panel can be used as the only control source or in conjunction with the controls on the interactive SMART BoardTM. See APPENDIX

7:12” TOUCH PANEL INTERFACE.

Audio and Video Sources

Main Camera and AUX Camera**

The Director is capable of handling two controllable s-video sources. A TANDBERG W.A.V.E II Camera, included with your system, or other VISCA controllable camera can be configured for use.

At present, if you intend to connect two cameras, they must be identical - you cannot have one WAVE II camera and one Sony camera. They must both be WAVE II cameras or both be a VISCA controllable camera of the same make and model.

AudioScience Microphone**

The AudioScience Microphone is an overhead, transparent microphone that eliminates the need for multiple tabletop microphones. Mounted on the ceiling, the microphone effectively picks up participants within a wide range with very little distortion. Using the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) on the codec maintains the audio signal level at a fixed value by attenuating strong signals and amplifying weak signals.

*- OPTIONAL FEATURE.
