C-it Video Conference Center
This chapter explains how to videoconference over the Internet or an Intranet with the C-it software.
Getting Started
Before starting, inform everyone participating in the videoconference when it will begin. Each
participant must be logged on to the Internet (or company Intranet), and have a camera and
videoconferencing software up and running.
t
NOTE: It doesn't matter if the participants are using other videoconferencing software. C-it
Digital Video PC Camera software works with virtually any other videoconferencing software
that meets the ITU H.323 standard. Therefore, although other participants have to be running
their videoconferencing software, it does not have to be C-it (although, of course, we recommend
it).
t
To start the software for videoconferencing:
o
Double-click the icon, C-it Video Conference Center.
t
HINT: Make sure the camera is ready to go. Click the Local button to see the window for the
image from your camera. Click Preview to see the image. Point the camera where you want. To
adjust the camera's settings click the Options button at the top of the window.
Placing the Call
1 Log on to the Internet, or if your company uses an Intranet, log on to it.
2 Click the Call button on the Video Conference Center. The New Call dialog box appears.
3 Enter the number to call in the Address box. See page 40 for more information about the types
of numbers you can enter.
Numbers and addresses you've called before are part of a built-in phone book. To call one of
those numbers, click the down arrow next to the address box, then select the person to call.
