Installation guide

Place the camera(s) in a position to ensure eye contact between local and remote
participants. Recommended position is either directly below or directly above the monitors, in
central position, at a distance which enables capture of the entire table.
Place the Microphone Pod at the center of the table. To help with echo cancellation, we
recommend to position the Microphone Pod as far as possible from loudspeakers and other
noise sources (for example, computer fans).
Figure 3-1 Suggested Room Setup
Avoid white walls as they can introduce an effect-like backlight: a white wall increases the
illumination behind the person. Avoid glass walls, as well as patterns and textures on the walls
as they may cause disturbances to visual effects.We recommend to have plain walls of neutral
color. Also, in order to avoid reverberations, we recommend to use heavy curtains of neutral
color and carpets.
The conference room should be air-conditioned and kept at a cool temperature to avoid the
XT Codec Unit switching on its fan.
The conference room should be well and uniformly lit, avoiding a mixture of natural and
artificial light. Light should come from the top of the conference table, the front and the rear
(for depth of field). If only ceiling light is available, it should contribute to maintain a
pleasant environment and generate as less heat as possible.
The IR sensors of the XT Codec Unit and the camera might not receive the infrared rays under
sunlight or near inverter fluorescent lamps.
