Introduction TANDBERG Director Videoconferencing System
10
System Overview
The TANDBERG Director system is comprised of the following, as well as optional components
that can and will enhance your videoconferencing experience.
Control Interface
Director Application Module (DAM)
The Director Application Module is an integrated control, presentation, and videoconferencing
system. Using a TANDBERG 6000 codec, coupled with a video-scaling control system, allows
effective local presentations as well as videoconferencing. The module has an easy access rear I/
O panel that allows for connections to various A/V and control devices. The XGA resolution output
can be displayed on projectors, plasmas, or monitors. The 5U high, rack mountable package
allows for easy integration into classrooms, boardrooms, or podiums.
Interactive SMART Board
TM
The Director can be used with the SMART Board
TM
3000i as the touch input device. This allows the
user to conduct a local presentation or videoconference by selecting intuitive controls displayed on
the board. Using the SMART Board
TM
also allows for on-screen annotation and collaboration with
another site, as well as transmitting the session to a remote site in real-time. Refer the REAR
PROJECTION SMART Board
TM
3000i INSTALLATION GUIDE for more detailed description of features.
Touch Panel Control*
An optional 12” or 15” touch panel can be incorporated enabling a user to manage the
presentation from a podium or desktop. In some cases, this touch panel can be used as the only
control source or in conjunction with the controls on the interactive SMART Board
TM
. See APPENDIX
7: 12” TOUCH PANEL INTERFACE.
Audio and Video Sources
Main Camera and AUX Camera**
The Director is capable of handling two controllable s-video sources. A TANDBERG W.A.V.E II
Camera, included with your system, or other VISCA controllable camera can be configured for use.
At present, if you intend to connect two cameras, they must be identical - you cannot have one
WAVE II camera and one Sony camera. They must both be WAVE II cameras or both be a VISCA
controllable camera of the same make and model.
AudioScience Microphone**
The AudioScience Microphone is an overhead, transparent microphone that eliminates the need for
multiple tabletop microphones. Mounted on the ceiling, the microphone effectively picks up
participants within a wide range with very little distortion. Using the Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
on the codec maintains the audio signal level at a fixed value by attenuating strong signals and
amplifying weak signals.
