Snapshot Timeout
By default, snapshots are displayed for four minutes. After four
minutes, the ViewStation automatically returns to live video. This
feature may be disabled. When disabled, the snapshot display on
the television monitor remains indefinitely or until the SNAPSHOT
button on the remote control is pressed.
To display the snapshot indefinitely, both the near and far sites in the
video call must disable the snapshot timeout feature. The snapshot
timeout feature is located on the Video & Camera screen (System
Info > Admin Setup > Video & Camera.)
Using Optional Equipment
Adding optional equipment to the ViewStation enhances video
communications and presentation quality. For instructions on
installing optional equipment, see the ViewStation QuickStart card
for your ViewStation system. The following optional equipment may
be used with the ViewStation.
Monitors: A second television monitor may be added to the
ViewStation to provide a wider range of display options.
Camera: An additional camera may be added to provide
continuous video of different speakers in the same room.
VCR: A VCR may be added to record the videoconference or to
present recorded material as part of a video call. The VCR
records video from the near site’s main television monitor and
audio from both the near and far sites. When playing a tape, the
VCR provides audio and video to all participants in a video call.
Visual Concert DC: The Visual Concert DC document
camera lets you send high quality, high resolution pictures from
a ViewStation. The images are displayed to the
videoconference participants at the near and far sites.
