a video call to you.

AUX and VNC sources in addition to your Main Camera. This is perfect for meetings where
you would like to show a PowerPoint presentation for instance. You can even use arrow keys
up and down on the remote control to activate Page Up/Down on the PC. (This only applies
when using VNC).
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

Picture Layouts
The Layout key on the remote control has two behaviours depending on the Picture Layout
setting in Administrator Settings (see Control Panel - Administrator Settings –General –
Screen Settings). It can provide either a Picture in Picture (PIP) or a Picture outside Picture
(POP). POP is recommended for wide screens.
Picture in Picture
With Picture in Picture (PIP), the layout key makes it possible to see an extra picture in a
smaller view. Pressing Layout will bring up a picture in picture in the corner of the screen.
Press Layout again to move it to the other corners of the screen and finally hide it. You can
also hide it directly by pressing and holding Layout for 1 second. PIP will always appear on
the main monitor. Automatic PIP is the system's default setting. That means that you will
automatically show Picture in Picture when it is suitable (see Control Panel - Administrator
Settings - Presentation Settings).
How to use Layout with Picture in Picture:
 Press Layout once to bring up a picture in picture.
 Press Layout three more times to move it around in the corners of the screen.
