Mobility 

 
The SCOPIA® VC240 system can be moved easily. To establish a connection, each 
new  location  will  need  the  local  area  network  information  re-entered  into  the 
configuration menu. 
 
 

Appendix 2    

Detailed Video Tests 

 
The SCOPIA® VC240 includes analogue PC and DVI-D inputs which may only be 
transmitted  via  the  H.239  second  channel  at  2-3  frames  per  second,  sharing  the 
available  bandwidth  with  the  main  camera.  For  this  reason  the  normal  subjective 
video quality tests could not be carried out. 

 

 
 

Appendix 3    

Detailed Audio Tests 

 

The  SCOPIA®  VC240  includes  only  one  external  audio  input  with  fixed  echo 
cancellation.  As  the  echo  cancellation  could  not  be  turned  off  the  normal  audio 
quality tests could not be carried out.

 

 

The echo canceller is fully automatic in operation. The quality of echo cancellation 
and  doubletalk  from  the  system  was  very  good.  While  a  participant  was  speaking 
the  integral  microphone  generated  significant  background  noise,  but  when 
participants stopped talking, the CODEC’s Noise Gating feature produced silence. 
This contrast was distracting. Using an external headset microphone did reduce this 
effect but background noise was still evident.
