Figure 15: Suggested Room Setup
• When deciding where to place the XT Codec Unit and the camera, ensure that the Infra-Red (IR)
sensors of both the XT Codec Unit and the camera, located on the front panels, are not facing
sunlight or inverter fluorescent lamps.
This is necessary so that the XT Series can receive IR commands of the XT Remote Control Unit
sent from the IR receivers of both the XT Codec Unit and the XT Premium Camera.
The IR commands are sent via VISCA control, which allows you to control your both the camera
and the XT Codec Unit using the XT Remote Control Unit.
• Place the XT Codec Unit anywhere within 5 meter reach of the camera cables. Leave enough
space for air circulation and for connecting cables easily.
• Place the camera(s) in a position to ensure eye contact between local and remote participants.
We recommend positioning the camera either directly below or directly above the monitors, in
central position, at a distance which enables capture of the entire table. For the USB camera, we
recommend placing the camera and adjusting the zoom so that the frame is filled with the head
and upper body of the user.
Caution:
Do not place the camera on top of the XT Codec Unit. It can cause the system to overheat.
• Place chairs so that you and other participants appear in the middle of the monitors.
• Place the Microphone Pod at the center of the table, in front of the participants.
