5 Preparing for a Video Call or Videoconference This section gives recommendations on how to prepare your meeting room and your SCOPIA XT Series for a video call or videoconference: • Storing a Camera Position .................................................................... • Connecting the Computer .................................................................... • Selecting the Computer Display Resolution................................................
Connecting the Computer You need a computer to share a presentation during a call. This procedure describes how to connect computers that are equipped with a DVI out or VGA out connector. The XT Codec Unit supports these DVI input formats: 1920 x 1080, 1440 x 900 (WSXGA), 1280 x 1024 (SXGA), 1280 x 720, 1280 x 768 (WXGA), 1024 x 768 (XGA), 800 x 600 (SVGA), 640 x 480 (VGA).
c. Connect the VGA cable to the PC/Laptop VGA out socket. Step 2 Connect the computer audio to the XT Codec Unit. • • Since audio input is not included in the DVI-I port to XT Codec Unit connection, establish a separate audio connection from the computer’s audio output port into the optical audio input port of the XT Codec Unit. You can also use an external analog-to-digital converter if necessary.
What You Should Know About Participating in a Video Call There are several general recommendations you should follow to optimize your videoconferencing experience. We recommend that you read this section before participating in a videoconference for the first time. • If you are using a portable computer during a meeting, do not place it too close to the microphone pods. Noise produced by the computer cooling system may be increased by the microphones and aggravate the quality of audio in the meeting.
