Re-Size the ViaVideo Display
You can make ViaVideo display in a smaller screen to give you more
space on the desktop. Go to
System Info>Setup>General and select
Show small size at startup . The next time you start ViaVideo, the
application is displayed in a half-size screen without any loss of
image quality.
Sending Snapshots
You can send a snapshot to the far site while you are in a call.
Snapshots are a way to transfer high-resolution still images to the far
site.
To send a snapshot:
1. Position and focus the ViaVideo camera to ensure a good
image. Use the PIP feature to see the near camera view.
2. Click Snap on the on-screen remote control.
The far site participant can see the snapshot image you sent.
3. ViaVideo invokes your default browser, and shows the snapshot
on your desktop.
When the far site sends you a snapshot, ViaVideo invokes your
default browser, and shows the snapshot in the browser window. You
can easily review the snapshots sent during a meeting by clicking
Back and Forward on your browser.
To save a snapshot, right-click on the image and select Save As...
to save the image. In this way, you can save all snapshots sent and
received during a meeting.
Note The snapshot feature is designed for far sites that use the
Annex-D high-resolution (704 x 576) graphics standard.
These are typically conference room video communications
systems, such as Polycom ViewStations.
Systems using lower resolution graphics transfer standards
