FieldView Administrator Guide

Recommendations and Tips
Charge the TANDBERG FieldView Device battery using the external
•
AC adapter before using the TANDBERG FieldView Device. The orange
Charging
LED will turn off when the battery is fully charged.
Do not go outside the coverage area of the wireless AP. This will cause
•
deterioration of image quality and eventually the loss of the connection.
Try to keep in the line-of-sight between the TANDBERG FieldView Device
•
and the nearest AP. If possible, face the AP for better signal strength.
Use the wrist strap to avoid dropping the TANDBERG FieldView Device.
•
The 2-way audio may be a distraction in some cases. Use the
•
Mute
and
Volume
buttons on the TANDBERG FieldView Device to turn off the audio.
Using the microphone and speaker on a PC may result in echo at the
•
TANDBERG FieldView Device when the TANDBERG FieldView Device
operator speaks and the PC microphone relays the sound back to the
TANDBERG FieldView Device. It is dependent on the echo canceling ability
of the PC software and hardware and the location of the PC speaker and
microphone. Echo can be eliminated by using a headset or speakerphone
peripheral on the PC.
•
Hold the
Power
button for 3 seconds to turn off the TANDBERG FieldView
Device. The green
Power
and
Network
LEDs will turn off.
•
If the TANDBERG FieldView Device is on but not used by the operator for a
period of time (2 minutes by default), it will lower its power consumption
by turning off the viewfinder and other components, and go into Standby
mode. In Standby, the green
Power
and
Network
LED(s) will remain on
and incoming calls can still be received. Press and release the power button
briefly to wake the TANDBERG FieldView Device. The standby time can be
changed under the
Configuration > General
page.
The illumination LED is intended for subjects at a distance of 3 feet or
•
more. It may be too bright for subjects at a closer distance and may cause
glare on the image.
Use a tripod to stabilize the image, particularly when using zoom. A shaky
•
video image is exaggerated during video compression.
Sometimes, when streaming video, it is necessary to move the TANDBERG
•
FieldView Device to a new location. As the TANDBERG FieldView Device
is being carried to the new location, the image seen at the TANDBERG
FieldView Application will be rapidly changing causing a ‘seasick’ view.
To avoid this effect, stop the video stream or use the gray
Still Image
Capture
button to temporarily freeze the view while you are moving the
TANDBERG FieldView Device.
For close-up viewing (e.g. full screen view of a small object), set the zoom
•
to 1
!
to ensure optimum focus at short distance and hold the TANDBERG
FieldView Device squarely above the object. Room lighting intensity and
angle will be a factor in the image quality.
To increase the size of the video area of the Call Window at the TANDBERG
•
FieldView Application, grab the vertical separator between the Call Controls
area and the Video Viewing area and slide it to the left until the Call
Controls area is reduced to a narrow strip.
