Requesting the Floor
If a conference has the chair site, non-chair sites can request the floor from the chair site.
Once a site has the floor, other sites in the conference can view and hear that site.
Showing and Hiding Captions
If a conference supports T.140, a user can operate the touch panel to show or hide captions on
the local HD displays.
Enabling and Disabling Voice Activation
The TP3106-70 provides two voice activation modes: switching by speaker and switching by
site.A user can therefore broadcast either of the following based on the user requirements:
The site generating the highest volume, with voice activation switching by site
The screen generating the highest volume, with voice activation switching by speaker
The generated volume must exceed the voice activation threshold for a site or screen to be broadcast.
Requesting and Releasing Chair Control Rights
In a multipoint conference where the TP3106-70 is used, two roles exist: the chair site and the
non-chair site. The conference chair site has more conference controls available than other
sites. If no chair site has been selected to chair the conference, any site can request chair
control rights. Non-chair sites can only view others sites, request the floor, show/hide captions,
and request chair control rights. A conference can have only one chair site at a time. Chair
control rights are automatically released when the chair site exits the conference.

14
Giving the Floor
During a conference, the chair site can give the floor to a site. Then all sites have muted
microphones except for the chair site and the site having the floor. When a site has the floor,
all sites are forced to view that site.
Broadcasting a Site
The chair site can force all the other sites in the conference to view a single site. While a site
is being broadcast, all sites have unmuted microphones.
Muting and Unmuting Microphones
A user can use the touch panel to mute and unmute all local microphones, or press the
microphone mute buttons at the conference tabletop to mute and unmute individual
microphones. During a multipoint conference, the chair site can mute and unmute the
microphones of any site.
Viewing Sites in Turn
Viewing sites in turn enables all participating sites to be displayed one by one for a
user-defined interval on the HD displays at the chair site.
Disconnecting a Site
The chair site can disconnect any site from the conference. After a site is disconnected, its
icon remains in the site list on the conference control screen. The chair site can recall the site
into the conference.
Calling a Site
The chair site can call an absent site into the conference.
Deleting a Site
The chair site can delete participating sites from the conference.After a site is deleted, its icon
is no longer displayed on the conference control screen. To recall the site into the conference,
the chair site needs to add it once again.
Adding a Site
During a multipoint conference, the chair site can add sites to the conference using the
contacts list or keypad from the touch panel.
Extending a Conference
The duration of a scheduled conference is user-defined, while that of an instant conference is
120 minutes by default. The chair site can extend the conference when required.

Exiting or Ending a Conference
When a participating site exits a conference, the conference ends if it is a point-to-point
conference or proceeds if it is a multipoint conference. Only the chair site is able to end a
conference.
3.1.7 Conference Management
3.1.7.1 Contacts List
From the TP3106-70 Telepresence System Manager, the administrator can import, export, and
clear the contacts list. The contacts list contains information about sites and groups. The touch
panel automatically syncs the contacts list with the telepresence host.A user can select sites
and groups from the touch panel to quickly initiate a conference, eliminating the manual entry
of site numbers.
3.1.7.2 Conference History
From the touch panel, a user can view all conferences that have been initiated or attended
using the TP3106-70. A user can select any conference entry in the history to initiate the
conference again.
3.1.7.3 Network Recording
If network recording is enabled, multipoint conferences the TP3106-70 joins can be
automatically recorded from the beginning. The recordings can be broadcast live or saved for
future viewing. The chair site can stop, pause, or resume the recording at any time.
3.2 Video Features
The TP3106-70 adopts advanced video technology. Used in every processing stage from
video capture through video encoding and decoding to video display, the technology enables
the TP3106-70 to deliver ultra-HD video with nearly zero latency and unprecedented
smoothness.
Smooth and Sharp Video
The TP3106-70 is compliant with H.264 HP, H.264 BP, and H.264 SVC for transmitting and
receiving video and presentations. It selects the optimal video protocol based on the available
bandwidth and executes transcoding to present the best possible videos to users.
HD Dual Stream
The TP3106-70 is the first telepresence solution to introduce end-to-end 1080p60 technology.
With the support for H.239 and the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP), the TP3106-70 can
transmit two independent channels of 1080p video streams.
Continuous Presence
The TP3106-70 supports a group of continuous presence. When initiating a multipoint
conference, a user can set the continuous presence layout. During a multipoint conference, a
user can edit continuous presence, including the layout and video feeds. Continuous presence
comes in multiple display layouts, with a maximum of 16 panes. The video feeds of the

16
continuous presence panes can be from any site except the audio-only sites. A user can easily
specify the number of panes and video feeds.
3.3 Audio Features
The TP3106-70 provides cinema-level sound localization, and enables users to easily
distinguish the location of a remote site speaker, making conversations go smoother. This
feature is implemented with the combination of the following:
AAC-LD that supports a maximum sampling rate of 48 kHz and CD quality audio
AEC, AGC, and ANS technologies
Built-in multi-channel speakers
Universal Transcoding
The TP3106-70 allows inconsistency between encoding and decoding protocols. If the

AAC-LD mono
AAC-LD dual-channel
AAC-LD three-channel
Transcodingfor AAC-LD dual-channel and AAC-LD three-channel is available only for
Huawei videoconferencing devices.
Lip Sync
During a video conference, audio and video streams are encoded and transmitted separately.
Therefore, the audio and video received by remote sites may occasionally be out of sync,
resulting in a poor videoconferencing experience. The TP3106-70 can solve the lip sync issue
with appropriate settings.
Sound Localization
The TP3106-70 adopts sound localization technology. It uses six microphones to pick up
audio, and processes three audio channels to deliver precise sound localization. This
technology allows users to easily identify the location of a remote speaker.
Voice Activation
The TP3106-70 provides two voice activation modes: switching by speaker and switching by
site.A user can therefore broadcast either of the following based on the user requirements:
The site generating the highest volume, with voice activation switching by site
The screen generating the highest volume, with voice activation switching by speaker
