TANDBERG 1700 MXP
USER GUIDE
Features Overview
Video Meeting Features
This section of the User Guide outlines
features available during a video call. Main
emphasis has been put on features avail-
able in point-to-point calls only (as opposed
to video conference calls – also called
MultiSite calls). However, features available
for both point-to-point and MultiSite are
also covered.
Observe that although Screen Layout
features and Streaming indeed apply during
video calls, they are not described in this
section, but in Getting Acqainted with the
System and Call Handling, respectively.
Screen Layout
You may set the system to show yourself
(selfview), the other party, or a presenta-
tion.
The TANDBERG 1700 MXP can also be used
as a local PC display, without letting the
other party see what’s on your PC screen.
Finally, you may also set up the system to
display more than one image on the screen
(Picture In Picture – PIP or Picture Outside
Picture – POP).
For more on this, see Selfview, Local PC
Display and Screen Layout.
Far End Camera Control
This is a feature that lets you pan, tilt, and
zoom the far end camera. If far end presets
are available you may access these as well,
and you may also make use of any video
sources that the far end may have at its
disposal.
This feature requires a movable camera in
the far end – i.e. communication between
two 1700 MXP units will not provide far end
camera control.
For more on this, see Far End Camera
Control.
Snapshots
The system can take a snapshot of your live
video. Snapshot is handy when you are in
a call with a system that does not support
Dual Video Stream. Use Snapshot to
show a snapshot of your presentation and
continue the meeting with main camera.
For more on this, see Snapshots.
Presentations
The Presentation Functionality in the
system enables you to show other available
video sources in addition to your Main Cam-
era. This is perfect for meetings where you
would like to show a PowerPoint presenta-
tion, for example.
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 as well.
For more on this, see Presentation.
Presets
The far end may use camera presets to
easily vary between predefined camera
angles in their own end. Thus they eliminate
the need to move their camera about in a
manual way.
Your 1700 MXP may get access to these set-
tings. If no presets have been stored and you try
to access far end presets nothing will happen.
For more on this, see Far End Camera Control
– Using Far End Presets.
Text Chat
You may use your 1700MXP to send and
receive text messages using the chatting
function available.
All you need is to select the Text Chat func-
tion and use the keypad as you would when
sending text messages (SMS) using your
cellular phone.
For more on this, see Text Chat.
Dual Video Stream
With Dual Stream (optional feature) you
have the opportunity to show two different
live video streams simultaneously, main
video and one additional source. This is
handy when showing a presentation. You
see the live presentation and the live video
of the presenter simultaneously. Both par-
ties must support Dual Video Stream to
make this work. If not, the presentation will
be sent as the main video stream instead.
For more on this, see Dual Video Stream.
Accessing Far End Video Sources
In point-to-point video meetings your
system may be connected to a system with
several inputs for various video sources.
You may get access to these by means of
the Far End Video controls.
Observe that your system can access
the inputs only. The far end may have
connected other sources to the inputs than
the input names normally should suggest.
For more on this, see Accessing Far End
Video Sources.
Streaming
Streaming lets you broadcast your meeting
to participants on the web. The web
participants can view the meeting, listen to the
meeting, see snapshots, but not participate
themselves. Snapshots of current stream (if
MultiSite), selfview, far end and Dual Video
Streams are accessible via http.
For more on this, see Streaming.
