Self View Control
Self View Control
The Self View feature allows you to view how you will be seen by others in a Cisco TelePresence
meeting before the meeting begins. By touching the Self View softkey on your CTS Cisco Unified IP
phone while the CTS is idle (not in a call), you can see a mirror image of you and your room for a
specified amount of time (5 to 180 seconds), as configured in the Maximum Self View Time (in seconds)
field in the
Product Specific Configuration Layout
fields for your system.
While in Self View mode, any active presentation is visible in the Presentation-in-Picture (
PiP
) or on the
LCD display. On multi-screen systems (CTS 3000 Series), the Self View mirror image appears on all
screens. On the CTS 1300, which has three cameras and a single display, the self view image is displayed
from the center camera. Once you are in Self View mode, you can use the CTS Cisco Unified IP phone
to select between Left, Center, and Right camera views.
Note
You cannot use the Self View feature while in an active call.
See the
“Product Specific Configuration Layout” section on page 1-10
for information about setting the
Self View time in the Maximum Self View Time (in seconds) field.

Shroud Lights
The lights that surround the main display screen are activated when accessing the Self View feature.
When answering an incoming call in Self View mode, the lights remain on throughout the call. When
you exit Self View mode, the lights remain on for a short period of time, similar to the system’s behavior
at the end of a normal Cisco TelePresence call.
Answering Calls
If the CTS system is configured for
Auto Answer
and is in Self View mode when it receives an incoming
call, the standard incoming call alert is heard and you can answer the call manually.
When a call is received while you are in Self View mode, you can exit the feature to accept the incoming
video. If there is an active presentation on-screen when the call comes through, options on the CTS
Cisco Unified IP phone allow you to share or hide the presentation.
