Camera control
If the license for your SDC 8000 conference and intepretation system
enables the “camera control” function, this function is already activated.
If this is not the case, no settings can be made via the “
Camera Control ”
menu item.
Turning on a connected control panel
instead of controlling the SDC 8000 conference and interpretations system
via a PC with software control, you can use a control panel (optional).
The control panel is a miniature physical representation of your conference
room, allowing you to turn on or off individual conference consoles, change
the volume, change the conference mode, display the status of the
interpreter booths, etc.
The control panel will be custom tailored to your specific requirements.
To turn a connected control panel on:
̈
From the central unit’s operating menu, choose “ System ” and
“ Control Panel ” one after the other.
The current status of the control panel is shown on the display.
̈
Choose “ Status = ON ” and press the ENTER key to turn the control
panel on.
