AIMING THE VIDEO CAMERA TO A MICROPHONE CONSOLE
In the synoptic panel, select the microphone console that has to be aimed by a video camera. Select the number of the video camera to be used to frame the microphone console (point 4). Select either "1 Microphone" or "Room" (point 8), according to whether the frame to be saved is a microphone console or a generic image of the room.
Move the video camera by using the joystick simulator (point 5).
Press and hold the mouse left button inside the circle and move up, down, left or right; you can move the selected video camera.
This function makes it possible to move the camera rapidly. For a fine adjustment, use the arrows on the right of the circle.
Use the "Wide" and "Tele" keys to adjust the zoom (point {}).
The focus and the iris of the video camera are automatic. If you want to make a manual adjustment, use the "Far" and "Near" keys for the focus and "Open" and "Close" for the iris (point {}.
Once you have found the correct aim, press "Save" to save it.
Select the type of transition to use in the passage from one image to the next (point 3); there are four transition options:
no = no transition (you see the movement of the video camera)
black = the frame goes to black, the camera moves, and the image reopens from black room = transitions from an image of the room
synoptic = transitions from the image of the synoptic panel
If the button in the left-hand corner (point 6) gets lit when you select a microphone console, this means that a camera aim has already been saved for that particular microphone console. To delete a camera aim, select the microphone console from the lighted display board and press "Delete" (point P).
To delete all the aims, press "Clear All" (point 9): a window appears to confirm.
To access the video camera setting menu, press "Menu" (point }).
The video camera configuration menu opens (above the video image). Use the arrows on the right of the circle to move within the menu.
Move upwards or downwards to access the desired menu item and use the right arrow to enter the submenu.
When the microphone is switched on, the video camera automatically aims according to the presetting. If two or more microphones are switched on, the image of the room will be displayed. When only one microphone is switched on, the video camera returns to aim at the active microphone console.
The passage between one frame and the next always takes place with the type of transition set (point 3).
AUDIO RECORDING MANAGEMENT
When recording, the audio signal should be taken from the DMU 6100 main unit output and connected to the PC sound card input.
After connecting the main unit, open the "Recorder" section in "Window" menu:
Click on the "Audio Path" button (in the "Options" menu) to see the default path where audio recordings will be saved and to change it.
Click on the "Audio Format" button (in the "Options" menu) to choose the audio compression format for recordings.
To start recording, click on the button. The meter on the right turns green following the sound input level and then it is possible to minimize the "Rcf ForumAudio" window and start the conference.
