Best Practice
Introduction to Video Conferencing
A successful video conference provides
a face-to-face meeting, even if the
participants are miles or continents apart.
Keep in mind that it still is a meeting—
normal etiquette and dress code apply
even here.
General
• Consider setting the unit to Automatic
Answer, but mute the microphone for
privacy reasons, if possible.
• Do not forget to rehearse “the noble
art of operating a video system” to the
extent needed.
In the meeting room
• Make sure that you do not experience
obstacles blocking the view to the
microphone at all times.
• Noise sources like computers placed
on the table should always be placed
away from the microphone of your unit.
The noise from such sources is often
perceived as surprisingly loud by the
remote participants.
• Pay attention to the background your
system will provide to the remote
participants. If the camera captures
the corridor outside your oce, people
passing by may distract your remote
participants. This applies as well to
curtains with a distinct texture pattern
and, in particular, to curtains moving due
to draught in the room.
• If you are going to share content your
system will use two video streams (duo
video), one showing the presentation
and the other showing the presenter—
or the group of presenters. Smaller
systems may force viewers to choose
between showing the presentation or
the presenter.
• For duo video some attention is needed.
Duo video is, on some video systems,
shown side–by–side with half the screen
showing the presentation and the other
half showing the presenter. To avoid
appearing like you are sitting with your
back towards the presentation look
straight into the camera.

calls.

Operating tips
When set to Do Not Disturb, ringtones are muted and call attempts made by others to reach you will appear as
missed calls. You may, however, place calls as much as you like.
As default, there is a 60 minutes timeout on the Do not disturb (after which the system will return to normal
operation), but this may have been changed to a dierent setting by your Video Support Team.

Place Call From Contact List
Place Call
Your lists of Contacts consist of
three parts:
Favorites. These contacts have
been put there by you. These entries
will typically be someone you call
frequently or otherwise need to
access in a swift and convenient
manner from time to time.
Directory will typically be a corporate
directory installed on your system by
your video support team.
Recents is a list of calls you have
placed, received or missed earlier.
The following options apply:
•
You may key in a name, number
or an IP (video) address and the
system will look in all lists for you.
•
You may add the entry to the list of
Favorites; edit aspects of the entry
before calling; change the call
rate and remove the entry from
Recents,.
About the Lists of
Contacts
Once an entry has been
located, press OK to invoke
the Call menu.
Press the green Call button or
press OK to place the call.
Press the red End Call button on
the remote control, or use the
Cursor keys to select End and
press OK to terminate the call.
Make sure Call is selected and
press OK or the green Call
button on the remote control.
Use the Cursor keys to go
between Favorites, Recents and
Directory and then down in one
of the lists.

Place Call
Edit a Contact List Entry Status, then Place the Call About Entry Edits
You may have to edit an entry in one
of the Contact lists before you place
the call. There may be a need to add
a prex, a sux or otherwise alter
the entry to ensure success.
At the same time, this set of options
allow you to change the Call Rate
(the bandwidth allocated to the call)
as well as the ability to promote the
current entry to become a Favorite.
Once an entry has been
located, press OK to invoke
the Call menu.
Make sure Call is selected and
press OK or the green Call
button.
Use the Cursor keys to go
between Favorites, Recents and
Directory and then down in one
of the lists.
Use the Cursor keys to move
the cursor to the right so that
the green Call eld is selected.
Use the Cursor keys to move
the cursor down to select the
More eld (...).
You may now use the Cursor
keys to move the cursor to
select any of the available
options. Press OK to enter.
Once set, press the green Call
button to place the call.

Place Call Using Name, Number or Video Address About Placing Calls
You may call someone who is not
listed in your list of contacts by
keying in their name, address or
number using the virtual keyboard.
Anyone you have previously called
will appear in the Recents list (until
you clear that list) and you may then
transfer any of them to your list of
Favorites. This is described in the
section Contacts.
Call Using Video Address
The procedure when using a video
address to call someone is similar.
Just key in the address and use
*as
separator. The system will interpret
it correctly and convert it for you so
that the video address appears as
correctly entered.
Place Call
To enter numbers just press
the corresponding keys on the
remote.
To invoke the virtual keyboard,
use the left arrow Cursor key to
move to the 123 eld. You may
now move about the keyboard
and select characters. Press OK
to select a character.
As soon as you start typing, the
green Call button will appear to
allow you to place the call any
time.
Possible matches will appear
as you type. If no matches are
found, this will also be indicated.
Press the red End Call button or
use the Cursor keys to select
End and press OK to terminate
the call.
Make sure Call is selected and
press OK or the green Call
button.
Use the Cursor keys to select
the Search or Dial eld, as
outlined.

About Adding Participants
If your system permits it, you may
add participants to an existing call to
turn a point-to-point call into a video
conference.
The maximum number of simultane-
ous participants in a video confer-
ence will depend on the infrastruc-
ture of your organization. If in doubt,
contact your video support team.
