3.13.3 Far End Control
It is possible to get some control of the far end system. This means that you can control your
conference partner’s camera, video sources and presets. You can also request a snapshot
from the far end side. Enabling Far End Control in the Control Panel will put the system in Far
End mode and camera control, camera preset, presentation, and snapshot will work on the far
end camera.
Far End Control only works if the far end side supports H.281 (Far End Camera Control). You
can prevent others from controlling your system by setting Allow Far End Camera Control to
Off in Control Panel\Administrator Setting\General\Permissions (chapter 4.1.7 Permissions).
How to use Far End control:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Enable Far End Control by selecting the Far End button in the Control Panel. A green
circle indicates that the Far End button is activated.
3. Now you are in Far End mode and can use camera control, camera preset,
presentation and snapshot for the far end.
4. To turn Far End control off, go to the control panel again and press Far End again.
The green circle disappears.
