Getting started
Screen layout
The layout of the screen can either be shown as
Picture In Picture (PIP) or Picture Outside Picture
(POP) when displaying more than one video image.
For widescreen monitors, POP is recommended.
The behavior of the Layout key depends on how
your administrator has set the Picture Layout
setting in Control Panel > Screen Settings.
Auto layout
Luckily you won’t have to worry, the system will
automatically choose the best layout for your call.
This is referred to as Auto layout.
You can, however, always change layout manually
with the Layout key. The auto layout applies when
you open or close a dual video stream, or when
you add or disconnect participants.
Auto layout also includes automatic PIP. That
implies that PIP will be shown when suitable, e.g.
to display selfview when you move your near end
camera. The automatic PIP times out after a couple
of seconds.
Deactivated (set to Off) means no automatic layout
changes during a call—you must manually control
the images with the Layout key. Auto layout is by
default active. To deactivate the auto layout you
must go to Control Panel > Screen Settings.
The control panel settings are part of the
administrative settings of this product.
They are described in the Administrator
Guide, which can be found on the CD that
accompanied your TANDBERG product.
Alternatively, the guide can be downloaded
from
www.tandberg.com
.
The administrative settings of this product
may have been password protected by your
administrator.
Picture in Picture (PIP)
When Picture Layout is set to PIP, the Layout
key makes it possible to see a second image in a
smaller view in one of the corners of the screen.
The second image will be placed on top of the main
image. You are free to choose in which corner the
second image is to be displayed (press the Layout
key repeatedly).
Example of PIP
(Picture in
Picture).
Picture outside Picture (POP)
When Picture Layout is set to POP, the Layout
key makes it possible to see up to three images
in a composition optimized for wide screens. The
second image can be displayed either as a side-
by–side the main image (1+1) or smaller images
next to the main image (1+2 and 1+3).
Press the Layout key once to get a side-by-side
view (1+1). Press again to get the layouts 1+2 and
1+3, and finally go back to full screen view. You can
also go back to full screen directly by pressing and
holding Layout for 1 second.

Picture).
The Layout key
Depending on the number of participants in your video meeting and whether
you use a dual video stream or not, some of the locations of the screen
layouts may differ or be empty. The actual positioning of each picture as you
press the Layout key, may vary from the above examples.
