The codec will read the native resolution of the monitor and output this if possible. Typically this will give the best possible picture for the connected monitor. If auto fails, you will have to select the resolution manually using the Video > Output > HDMI 1 > Resolution and Video > Output > DVI 2 > Resolution settings. Connecting to HDMI 1 When connecting the main monitor to HDMI 1 the menu, icons and other information on screen (OSD - on screen display) will be displayed on the monitor automatically. This is because HDMI 1 is the default video output of the codec. Connecting to DVI-I 2 When connecting the main monitor to the DVI–I 2 output, the menus, icons and other information are not automatically displayed on screen. You must move the OSD to the chosen output. Dual monitors When you want to run a dual monitor setup, connect the main monitor to video output HDMI 1 and the second monitor to video output DVI-I 2 on the codec. Dual monitor configuration To distribute the layout on the two monitors, go to Advanced configuration (menu on screen) or open the System Configuration page (web interface). Then go to Video > Monitors and choose Dual . HDMI 1 (the default connector for the main monitor) DVI-I 2 Moving the OSD You can move the OSD using the remote control or the web interface.

When a Touch controller is connected to the codec, the remote control cannot be used. You have to disconnect (unpair) the Touch controller in order to to use the remote control. Touch 8” can can be used with a C Series codec running software version TC4.1 or later. Connecting the Touch controller There are two options how to connect the Touch controller to the codec. In both cases the connection is via the provided power adapter, as illustrated above.A. C onnecting the Touch controller to the codec via LAN. To enable this mode of operation make sure that the NetworkServices > SSH > Mode * setting is turned On . The process of associating the Touch controller to the codec is called paring. The codec is signalling that it is available for pairing for 30 minutes after it is switched on. We recommend that the Touch controller and video system is kept on the same subnet. B. C onnecting the Touch controller directly to the codec’s second Ethernet port. To enable this mode of operation use the remote control and navigate to Home > Settings > Administrator settings > Pairing > Direct pairing and choose On. Alternatively, set the NetworkPort 2 > Mode * setting to DirectPairing . Restart the codec for the change to take effect. Touch controller set-up Once the Touch controller is connected to power, the set-up procedure begins. Follow the instructions on screen. If you have connected the unit to the codec via LAN, you have to choose which codec to pair with. If the codec is not in the list of available codecs displayed on the Touch controller, you can choose a codec manually by entering its IP address. If the Touch controller needs software upgrade, new software will be downloaded from the codec and installed on the unit automatically as part of the set-up procedure. The Touch controller restarts after the upgrade. You can verify that the Touch controller is successfully paired to the codec by checking that the codec address is displayed in the top banner. If you want more details on Touch installation, please read the Cisco TelePresence Touch 8 inch Installation Guide , which is available on the Cisco web site. * You will find this setting in the Advanced Configuration on-screen menu (remote control) or in the System Configuration page on the web interface.

The optimal definition profile should reflect the lighting conditions in your room and the quality of the video input (camera); the better the lighting conditions and video input, the higher the profile. Then, in good lighting conditions, the video encoder will provide better quality (higher resolution or frame rate) for a given call rate. In general, we recommend the optimal definition profile set to Normal. However, if lighting conditions are good we recommend that you test the endpoint on the various Optimal Definition Profile settings before deciding on a profile. Go to System Configuration on the web interface and navigate to Video > Input > Source [1..n] > OptimalDefinition > Profile to choose the preferred optimal definition profile. You can set a resolution threshold to determine when to allow sending video at 60 fps. For all resolutions lower than this threshold, the maximum transmitted frame rate will be 30 fps; for higher resolutions, 60 fps will be possible if the available bandwidth is adequate. Go to System Configuration on the web interface and navigate to Video > Input > Source [1..n] > OptimalDefinition > Threshold60fps to set the threshold. The video input quality settings must be set to Motion for the optimal definition settings to take any effect. With the video input quality set to Sharpness, the endpoint will transmit the highest resolution possible, regardless of frame rate. Go to System Configuration on the web interface and navigate to Video > Input > Source [1..n] > Quality to set the video quality parameter to Motion. You can read more about the video settings in the ► S ystem settings c h a p t e r. High Typically used in dedicated video conferencing rooms. Requires very good lighting conditions and a good quality video input to achieve a good overall experience. Under ideal conditions the bandwidth requirements can be reduced by up to 50% compared to Normal. Medium Typically used in rooms with good and stable lighting conditions and a good quality video input. The bandwidth requirements can be reduced by up to 25% compared to Normal. Normal This setting is typically used in office environments where the room is normally to poorly lit.

All rights reser ved. 137 Requirement for speaker systems connected to a Cisco TelePresence C Series codec Cisco has put in a lot of effort to minimize the camera to screen delay on our TelePresence endpoints. New consumer T Vs are usually equipped with “Motion Flow” or similar technology to insert new video frames between standard frames to create smoother images. This processing takes time and to maintain lip synchronization, the T V will delay the audio so that the audio and video arrives at the same time. The echo canceller in the Cisco endpoints can handle such delay up to 30 m s. Many consumer T Vs are not made for real time video communication and may introduce more than 30 m s of delay. If you use such a T V together with a C Series codec it is recommended that you turn off “Motion Flow”, “Natural Motion” or any other video processing that introduces additional delay. Some consumer T Vs also support advanced audio processing like “Virtual Surround” effects and “Dynamic Compression” to improve the T V experience. Such processing will make any acoustic echo canceller malfunction and should hence be switched off. Some monitors are equipped with a setting called ‘Game Mode’. This mode is specifically designed to help reduce the response time and will usually help to reduce the delay. Cisco TelePresence System Codec C40/C60 and Profiles using C40/60 Administrator Guide

Always consider reverting to the previously used software version before performing a factory reset. In many situations this will recover the system. Note that both the current and the previous software images reside on the system. Read about software swapping in the ► System recovery section. We recommend that you use either a Touch controller or the web interface to factory reset the system. If these interfaces are not available, you can connect to the system’s standard serial interface and issue a factory reset command. The remote control and on-screen menu do not give access to factory reset. When factory resetting the video system the following happens: • T he call logs will be deleted. • P asswords will be reset to default. • A ll system parameters will be reset to default values. • A ll files that have been uploaded to the system will be deleted. This includes, but is not limited to, custom backgrounds, certificates, and the favorites list (My c o nt a ct s). • T he previous (inactive) software image will be deleted. • R elease keys and option keys will not be affected. The system restarts automatically after the reset. It is using the same software image as before. 1. T ap gently on the Touch screen if the unit is in sleep mode. 2.
