Audio Meter
The Audio Meter screen is used to test external audio input in
custom installations. If, at normal speaking levels, the audio meter
does not register between 0 and 15, try positioning yourself closer to
the microphones or adjusting the settings on your line device or
mixing board.
To test audio levels:
1. Highlight the Audio Meter icon and press the SELECT button
on the remote control. The Audio Meter screen indicates the
audio level of all audio inputs connected to the system.
2. Speak into the microphone to test the audio level.
Near End Loop
The Near End Loop screen allows you to see how a far site would
see and hear you. This can help you diagnose a problem with an
H.320 video call.
To access the Near End Loop screen:
Select System Info > Diagnostics > Near End Loop.
The Near End Loop screen allows you to test the encoder/decoder
on your ViewStation FX or VS4000 system. If you perform a
near-end loop test during a call, the far site sees a loop of itself. Press
any button on the remote control to stop the loop.
Note
This diagnostic tool is only available out of a call or in a H.320 call.
