Snapshots
This section explains how to send snapshots to the far site and how
to use the Snapshot Timeout feature.
Sending Snapshots
You can send a snapshot from any local camera to the participants
in a videoconference by using the snapshot feature on the
ViewStation EX system.
To send a snapshot to meeting participants:
1. Press the SNAPSHOT button on the remote control.
2. Select a camera. Refer to Controlling Cameras for more
information about selecting cameras.
3. Position the camera as necessary.
4. Press the SNAPSHOT button on the remote control again. The
image is seen by all of the far sites in a call.
5. To preview your snapshot before sending it, press the
SNAPSHOT button once and press 1, 2, or 3 for your desired
camera source. You see a live preview from the selected camera
while the far site still sees you.
6. To send the image, press the SNAPSHOT button again.
Snapshot Timeout
By default, all slides and snapshots are displayed for a period of four
minutes. When the display times out after four minutes, the system
automatically returns to live video. However, when this option is
disabled, the snapshot or slide stays on screen indefinitely until the
user presses the SNAPSHOT button on the remote control to return
to live video.
