Layouts
A layout is a collection of saved camera views that
correspond to seats in the DDS 5900 or DCS 6000 system.
Saving layouts reduces set up time when sharing equipment
between rooms and meetings. The system supports up to
three layouts at a time.
Use the application to save camera views to the AMX
controller. The settings persist in the controller and do not
require the tablet to operate the camera system during the
event.
Begin by opening a layout. Go to the
Layouts
menu from the
main screen. Select one of the layouts:
• Recall: open the layout from the AMX unit.
• Save: save layout updates to the AMX unit.
Save Multiple Room Arrangements
The camera control app allows camera systems to operate in mixed-
use rooms by saving seating positions for up to three different seating
arrangements, or

Set the Overview Scene
The overview scene displays a field-of-view shot of the event
that doesn't focus on a particular participant. The overview
scene displays when the no microphones are on, or the
maximum number of microphones (Max NOM) has been
reached. The overview scene is useful in several scenarios:
• Capturing dialogue between several people
• Situations where camera switching is not necessary, such
as before and after a meeting.
Set the overview scene by positioning the camera for seat 0
or 400.
Settings
Max NOM to Overview
When the camera system reaches the selected maximum
number of open microphones (NOM), the view defaults
to Overview to avoid excessive camera switching during
dialogue. Variable from one to eight microphones.
Overview Delay
Set a short delay before the video feed displays the overview
shot (1 – 10 seconds). A setting of "0" restricts the system
from switching to the overview scene.
