1. Introduction
The system provides mobile real-time video conferencing for locations that
are usually not accessible with standard video conferencing equipment. This
includes locations such as test labs, health care facilities, factory floors, service
departments, remote suppliers, inspection areas, customer facilities, and other
remote work team locations.
This manual describes the setup and configuration of the Mobile Video
Collaboration System (FieldView). An Operator at a remote site uses the
TANDBERG FieldView Device to communicate with a FieldView Application
(TANDBERG FieldView Application) user over a network. The TANDBERG
FieldView Device allows both the Operator and the Client Application user to:
Converse just as they would on a cellular telephone.
•
View and listen to streaming audio/visual output in real time.
•
Capture and save snapshot images.
•
Share snapshot images between the TANDBERG FieldView Application and
•
TANDBERG FieldView Device.
Record and play back video.
•
Adjust the controls on the TANDBERG FieldView Device (e.g., zoom, focus,

The TANDBERG FieldView Device allows technical experts and remote
operators to jointly view, consult, diagnose and resolve issues by sending
high-resolution video, sound, and still images through streaming multimedia
from the TANDBERG FieldView Device on the scene to a TANDBERG FieldView
Application on a PC workstation. The TANDBERG FieldView Device can also
stream video to a SIP-capable video conferencing system.
