Camera/Video Sources

Most Tandberg MXP products have a fixed camera, as well as having this fixed camera the Tandberg system can support additional camera / video inputs.

For example you could have a T880 with the main fixed camera, a second camera, DVD Player input and a PC Input.

The next few slides will explain how to select each of the Camera/Video sources to display to the far end, and how to use the “DuoVideo” feature of the Tandberg MXP platform that allows you to send two Camera/Video sources at the same time!

Selecting Camera/Video Sources

To change your Camera / Video sources from the Main Menu select “Presentation” and this then lists any sources that are currently available (depending on what you have plugged in)Select the video source you with to view / present to the far end and select OK

The Tandberg MXP supports DuoVideo / H.239 Dual Stream – this means that if you place a call to a similar system that supports the same standard, you can present your Main Camera AND a presentation source such as VCR or PC at the same time! If presenting a PC or Document Camera you can send them at high resolutions such as 1024x768 so you can see the picture as if it were local!
