Adjust
volume in room directly on the TV monitors
- Normal volume from FAR site is three fourths of
the way up when in a video conference.
|
Adjust volume in
room using Polycom remote.
- Adjust sound from FAR site with the Polycom remote
using the volume buttons and set to user preference. The Polycom Microphones
are mounted into the ceiling and when a red light is lit up it means
the mics are muted. Also, when muted an icon of a microphone with
a line through it appears on the monitors.
|
Be careful because when the volume is set too high, then
it causes the other site to hear an echo. Check the volume on the TV monitors,
remote, and mixer. Normal setting is in the middle.
Remember the Rule of Audio:
If YOUR site does NOT hear the echo - then it is being caused by your
site.
If YOUR site DOES hear the echo - then it is coming from another site.

Adjusting volume
for FAR site
- If FAR site cannot hear, ask them to raise their speaker volume.
- If FAR Site is having trouble hearing the site in Harrington, then
ask the speaker to use the podium or wireless microphone and/or adjust
the mixer in rooms 614 and 408.
- When connected through TTVN, it is sometimes helpful to ask Ops
(862-2241) to "come into" the videoconference. They can
monitor the volume and let each site know what to do. Sometimes, TTVN
can raise the volume through the controls they have.

Wireless Microphone (Lapel Mic)
- To use the wireless microphone in room 408 and 614, turn the power
switch on the side to the on position so that the green light comes
on and clip the microphone to your collar. The receiver is located
under the two televisions in the back of the rooms. If the red Low
Bat light comes on the battery needs to be replaced. It uses a nine
volt battery.

Podium Microphones
- The podium microphone in room 408 and 614 will pick up the lecturer.
If the lecturer has a very soft voice, it would be more appropriate
to use the wireless microphone.
