Camera & Mic Controls

Camera controls

• Presenter Camera: There are two locked presets for the presenter camera: the wide-angle view and the zoomed-in view of the front of the room. There is also an auto-tracking mode that can be toggled on to follow the presenter.

  • Users can set presets 3 & 4 as desired by positioning the camera with the directional arrows & zoom in/out controls and then holding buttons 3 or 4 for 3 seconds. See the camera control page below.

• Audience Camera: Simply select the audience camera from this page to switch over to that view. It will show a wide view of the seats.

Microphone Controls

There are two microphones: a lapel microphone and handheld microphone. While amplifying your voice locally, the mics can simultaneously be used in conferencing or recording as we programmed specific Acoustic-Echo Cancellation (AEC) software.

• Presenter Volume & Mute: Control the individual Mic levels and Mutes from the Mic Levels page OR the Overall Mic Level & Master Mute from the Home page. See both below.

• Audience Mute: The audience microphones will always be muted when not conferencing or recording. While conferencing & recording, you will have the option to mute the audience mics as necessary, from either the Home page or Mic Levels page (this feature is coming soon!).
