Introduction
TANDBERG Director Videoconferencing System
System Overview
The TANDBERG Director system is comprised of the following, as well as optional components
that can and will enhance your videoconferencing experience.
Control Interface
Director Application Module (DAM)
The Director Application Module is an integrated control, presentation, and videoconferencing
system. Using a TANDBERG 6000 codec, coupled with a video-scaling control system, allows
effective local presentations as well as videoconferencing. The module has an easy access rear I/
O panel that allows for connections to various A/V and control devices. The XGA resolution output
can be displayed on projectors, plasmas, or monitors. The 5U high, rack mountable package
allows for easy integration into classrooms, boardrooms, or podiums.
Interactive SMART BoardTM
The Director can be used with the SMART Board 3000i as the touch input device. This allows the
TM
user to conduct a local presentation or videoconference by selecting intuitive controls displayed on
TM
the board. Using the SMART Board also allows for on-screen annotation and collaboration with
another site, as well as transmitting the session to a remote site in real-time. Refer the REAR
TM
PROJECTION SMART Board 3000i INSTALLATION GUIDE for more detailed description of features.
Touch Panel Control*
An optional 12” or 15” touch panel can be incorporated enabling a user to manage the
presentation from a podium or desktop. In some cases, this touch panel can be used as the only
TM
control source or in conjunction with the controls on the interactive SMART Board . See APPENDIX
7: 12” TOUCH PANEL INTERFACE.
Audio and Video Sources
Main Camera and AUX Camera**
The Director is capable of handling two controllable s-video sources. A TANDBERG W.A.V.E II
Camera, included with your system, or other VISCA controllable camera can be configured for use.
At present, if you intend to connect two cameras, they must be identical - you cannot have one
WAVE II camera and one Sony camera. They must both be WAVE II cameras or both be a VISCA
controllable camera of the same make and model.
AudioScience Microphone**
The AudioScience Microphone is an overhead, transparent microphone that eliminates the need for
multiple tabletop microphones. Mounted on the ceiling, the microphone effectively picks up
participants within a wide range with very little distortion. Using the Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
on the codec maintains the audio signal level at a fixed value by attenuating strong signals and
amplifying weak signals.
*
- OPTIONAL FEATURE.
** - OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE THROUGH TANDBERG OR IS USER SUPPLIED.

TANDBERG Director Videoconferencing System
Introduction
Document Camera**
A composite video source is available for a document camera. Document cameras can be used to
show a wide variety of media, such as whitepapers, film negatives, or standard overhead projector
transparencies. Source selection, zoom, focus and lighting can all be controlled from the button
panel of the document camera.
VCR/DVD player**
Standard composite video VCR’s or DVD players can be added for playback and recording. Using
codec features such as audio “ducking” (lowering the VCR output while the presenter is talking)
allows seamless presentations and participant interaction. Use the front panel controls or the
supplied remote control specific to these devices.
Auxiliary Sources**
Any auxiliary source can be substituted for the sources above.
There are a total of 2 s-video and 2 composite inputs available on the system.
Optional Equipment**
Additional Monitors
An additional monitor can be added for viewing the far or local video. Typically used to view the far
side in a teaching environment, the monitor will also show the local image when giving a local
presentation.
PC and Laptop Computer
A user supplied PC and/or laptop can be connected to the system to enhance presentation.
You may choose to connect a PC placed inside the 3000i cabinet and use it as a source for
presentation. If you intend to use a PC as a presentation source only, then the PC must be, at
minimum, able to support VGA.
You may choose to connect a laptop computer to the 3000i as a source for presentation. This can
be done in conjunction with, or independently from, the PC that is integrated to the Director
system.
Refer to the REAR PROJECTION SMART BOARDTM 3000I INSTALLATION GUIDE for information on
connecting the PC and laptop as well as SMART software installation and configuration.

ISDN BRI
Connect each ISDN cable to the ISDN BRI sockets found on the codec. Then connect the other
end of the loom to the appropriate wall sockets. If however, the wall sockets provide an ISDN U-
interface, the ISDN lines from the codec must first be connected to the S/T interface of network
terminating units NT1 and NT384. Then connect the U interface of the network terminating units to
the wall sockets.
ISDN PRI/T1
Connect the PRI/T1 cable to the PRI/T1 socket labeled “1” on the codec. Connect the other end of
the cable to a Channel Service Unit (CSU). Then connect the CSU to the site’s PRI/T1 line.
Other Networks - Using the External Network Interface
If you are using other networks, please refer to ‘EXTERNAL NETWORK SETTINGS’ and ‘APPENDIX 2’.
LAN
Connect the LAN cable from the LAN connector on the rear of the codec to the site’s LAN network
connection.
It is recommended that both the codec and control system be provided with a LAN connection.
The system will function without a LAN connection if you are placing ISDN calls only, but a LAN
connection is recommended for both software upgrades and remote diagnostics. The control
system LAN information must be set locally. For information regarding the network settings on the
codec, refer to ‘ADVANCED USE’ > ‘TERMINAL SETTINGS’.

General Use
MultiSiteTF (MCU)
TF
The system has a built-in multipoint conference unit (MCU), MultiSite , which has the capability to
establish meetings with up to 4 video sites (5 if at least one site is a telephone call, ISDN/analogue/
mobile).
All video calls in a conference must be connected using the same bandwidth.
A conference can consist of any combination of ISDN/IP sites.
It is possible to have telephone meetings with up to 5 participants.
TF
The MultiSite supports both Voice Switched and Continuous Presence mode (see ‘MCU Services’
in ‘Advanced Use’ for description of these modes).
Establishing a conference is done by first
making a call to one site. When a call is
established with the first site, the other
sites are connected one by one.
It is possible to either dial out to the sites
TF
or the sites can dial in to the MultiSite .
Both ISDN, IP and mixed ISDN/IP
conferences can be encrypted if all
systems supports encryption.
For encrypted calls, there is a maximum
bandwidth of 768 Kbps for the whole
conference. This means that a 3-site
conference will have a maximum
bandwidth of 384Kbps per connection,
while a 4-site conference will have a
maximum bandwidth of 256 Kbps per
connection.

By default, all inputs are enabled. Just plug in an audio source and it is active. Audio inputs that are
‘On’ will automatically be mixed. Select ‘Off’ to prevent audio/noise from unused inputs or if you
want to disable a specific input. The activated audio sources are stored on presets.
Mic1, Mic2 and Mic3 are intended for electret type microphones. The microphone inputs are
balanced with 24V phantom power.
Audio4 is intended for connection to an external microphone amplifier or an external fixed mixer.
Audio5 is intended for connection to external playback devices or to telephone add-on hybrids.
As there is no acoustic echo canceller on this input it should not be connected to any
microphones. The audio entering this input will be heard from the local speaker.

Mix Mode
‘Auto’ automatically adjusts the weighting of each microphone to obtain the best possible audio
and minimizes the background noise. ‘Auto’ will also attenuate the VCR audio level when
someone talks into a microphone. ‘Fixed’ will maintain a constant weighting for all microphones.
Level Settings - Inputs
Adjust the audio input levels according to which external audio equipment is connected. The on-
screen audio level indicator will make it easier to set the correct input level settings. The input
level should be adjusted so that the average level reaches the preferred level marker. The audio
inputs are adjustable in steps of 1.5 dB from 0 dB to 22.5 dB.
The default levels for Mic 1 ,2 and 3 are set for use with an Audio Technica AT871 microphone in an
average videoconferencing room. The gain can be adjusted correctly for a wide range of
microphones.
A few examples of microphone levels are:
Audio Technica AT871
Audio Technica AT851R
+3dB (default with system)
+7dB
TANDBERG Audio Science +19.5dB
Audio inputs 4, 5 and 6 are set to a default level which is adhered to by most manufacturers of
audiovisual equipment and is a level at which most audiovisual equipment (CD-players, VCRs) will
work.

Echo Control
Each of the 3 microphone inputs and Audio input 4 have a separate echo canceller. One echo
canceller per input provides more sophisticated control than having one common canceller for all

Echo control is normally set to ‘On’ to prevent the far end from
hearing their own audio. Once selected, echo cancellation is active
at all times. The echo canceller continuously adjusts itself to the
audio characteristics of the room and compensates for any
changes it detects in the audio environment. If the changes in the
audio conditions are very significant the echo canceller may take
a second or two to readjust.

MALFUNCTIONING.
Noise Reduction
In addition to echo cancellation, the system has built-in noise reduction (NR).
NR reduces constant background noise (e.g. noise from air-conditioning systems, cooling fans
etc.). In addition, a highpass filter (Humfilter) reduces very low frequency noise.
Choose ‘On+NR’ to activate both Echo Control and Noise Reduction.
Room Size
This setting allows optimization of the echo canceller to the acoustic size of the room. Hard walls,
many windows etc. might require higher settings than expected. Carpets, curtains etc. might
require lower settings. Adjust the setting (NOTE: on the far end) if one of the following symptoms
occur:
•
•
There is still some echo of your own audio. Increase the setting.
The system adapts slowly to acoustic changes in the room. Decrease the setting.
After a change, the system will need a few seconds to re-adjust.
Motion
If you experience echo caused by movements in the room, increase the value.

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Settings
Select ‘On’ to allow automatic adjustments (Automatic Gain Control) of audio levels. When ‘On’,
the AGC maintains the audio signal level at a fixed value by attenuating strong signals and
amplifying weak signals. Very weak signals, i.e. noise alone, will not be amplified.
EXAMPLE:
TO ENSURE CORRECT BEHAVIOR
OF THE AGC, IT IS CRUCIAL THAT
THE LEVELS ON THE INPUT
CONNECTORS ARE ADJUSTED
CORRECTLY USING THE AUDIO
INPUT LEVEL SETTINGS. THE AGC
WILL NOT COMPENSATE FOR
SEVERE MISADJUSTMENT OF
INPUT LEVELS.
N O T E
IN MOST CONFERENCES, THE PARTICIPANTS WILL SPEAK AT
DIFFERENT LEVELS, AND BE AT DIFFERENT DISTANCES FROM THE
MICROPHONES. AS A RESULT, SOME OF THE PARTICIPANTS WOULD
BE HARDER TO HEAR THAN OTHERS. THE AGC CORRECTS THIS
PROBLEM BY AUTOMATICALLY INCREASING THE MICROPHONE
LEVELS WHEN “QUIET” OR “DISTANT” PEOPLE SPEAK, AND BY
DECREASING THE MICROPHONE LEVELS WHEN “LOUDER” PEOPLE
SPEAK.
When applying a weak signal in the presence of strong background noise, the leveller might
amplify the background noise as well as the signal. Therefore, in noisy environments, it is advisable
to turn the leveller off.
Tips for improving the echo canceller performance:
•
Place all microphones as far as possible from the loudspeaker. Minimum loudspeaker-
microphone distance should be 1 meter.
•
Place all microphones as close as possible to the persons speaking. By using several
microphones, the ratio distance loudspeaker-to-mic/mic-to-speaker can be increased.
Increasing this ratio improves the echo canceller performance. Avoid distances above two
meters from any participant to his/her closest microphone. If necessary, use several
microphones. Also avoid placing microphones less than one meter from any person.
•
•
•
Place all microphones as far as possible from noise sources.
Reduce the volume setting. Ensure that the loudspeaker does not distort the audio.
The echo canceller tries to estimate the echo path from the speaker system to the
microphones. Moving objects change this path, therefore try to avoid moving objects. Be
especially aware of large objects and objects placed close to either the microphone or the
speaker system as these objects will cause severe changes to the echo path.
•
•
•
Avoid putting paper sheets etc. on the microphone.
Avoid moving the microphone or loudspeaker.
In the event of poor echo cancelling, allow the canceller to adapt. After each change, the
echo canceller requires a few seconds to adapt. Do not change the settings without allowing
the echo canceller to adapt to the new audio environment.
•
In the presence of low frequency noise, enable the noise reduction (NR).

SHOWN WHEN STREAMING IS
ACTIVE.
N O T E
Address
Address is defined as the IP-address of a streaming client, streaming server or a multicast address.
Giving an address in the range 224.0.0.1-239.255.255.255 will broadcast the stream to any host that
has joined the specified multicast group. Specifying normal broadcast address 255.255.255.255 will
broadcast to any members on the LAN.
Address Port
If several codecs are streaming to the same IP-address, different ports have to be used in order for
the client to know which stream to receive. If the first codec streams on port 2240 and the second
codec on port 2250, the client has to specify which port to listen to. Video is transmitted on the
specified port, audio is transmitted on the port number 4 above the specified video port, in this case
2244 and 2254.
TTL/Router Hops
This is used for streaming data to limit how many routers the data should pass before it is rejected.
If TTL is set to two, data will not traverse more than 2 router hops.

Streaming Source
AUTO
Enables streaming of both local and far end video. Selection of which site to be
streamed is done using voice switching (the site that speaks is streamed).
LOCAL
Only the local video will be streamed.
Only the far end video will be streamed.
REMOTE
Local and far end audio is always streamed.
Allow Remote Start
ON
Streaming can be started from external user interfaces like the Web-browser or
Telnet session.
OFF
Streaming can only be started from the Videoconferencing System using the
remote control, or by using the Dataport. This will prevent activation of
streaming using Web browser or Telnet sessions. See also ‘Password’ section
below
Announcements
ON
The codec will announce to the network that it is streaming. This enables a
streaming client (e.g. a PC) to connect to the codec’s streaming session. Used
by Cisco IP/TV.
OFF
No announcement packets will be transmitted.
Video Rate
Defines the Video streaming rate from the system. Range is 16kbps - 320kbps. In addition, audio
(G.711) streaming rate is 64kbps, providing a maximum streaming rate of 384kbps.
Password
Set password so that only participants entering correct password will be able to view the streaming
session. Entering a password will prevent unauthorized people from accessing the streaming
session.

H.323 Settings
E.164 alias
This is the E.164 address of the codec. The E.164 address is equivalent to a telephone number,
sometimes combined with access codes. Valid characters are 0-9,* and #.
When using a gatekeeper the codec will send a message to the gatekeeper containing both the
E.164 address and the system name of the codec. The codec will not register with the gatekeeper
if the E.164 alias is not set.
Use Gatekeeper
AUTO
The codec will automatically try to register on any available gatekeeper. If a
gatekeeper responds to the request sent from the codec within 30 seconds this
specific gatekeeper will be used. If no gatekeeper responds, the codec will not
use a gatekeeper for making H.323 calls and hence an IP-address must be
specified manually.
MANUAL
OFF
The codec will use a specific gatekeeper identified by ‘Gatekeeper IP-
address’.
The codec will not use a gatekeeper and an IP-address must be used in order
to make an H.323 call.
Gatekeeper IP-address
This is the gatekeeper IP-address if you specify ‘Use Gatekeeper: Manual’.
H.323 Prefix
When dialing a number prefixed with digits specified by ‘H.323 Prefix’, and with ‘Net: Auto’, an
H.323 call will be placed.
EXAMPLE: H.323 PREFIX IS ‘555’. DIALLING ‘55582’ WITH ‘NET:AUTO’ WILL SELECT LAN.
Register
Pressing ‘Register’ will send a gatekeeper registration request. This request will also be sent when
leaving the menu.

NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT is used in small LAN’s, often home offices, when a PC and a videoconferencing system is
connected to a router with NAT support. NAT support in the videoconferencing system enables
proper exchange of audio/video data when connected to an external videoconferencing system
(when the IP traffic goes through an NAT router.
When NAT is ‘On’, the NAT Server Address will be shown in the startup-menu: ‘My IP Address:
10.0.2.1 (NAT)’
NAT Address
This must be the external/global IP-address to the Router with NAT support. Packets sent to the
Router will then be routed to the codec.
In the router, the following ports must be routed to the codec’s IP-address:
Port 1720
Port 5555-5560
Port 2326-2365

TANDBERG Director Videoconferencing System
Iris Control and Lighting
By default the Director camera will use an automatic iris to compensate for changes in lighting. In
addition to this feature you may further assist the Director to maintain the best possible image
quality by paying special attention to environmental lighting and background colors as described
below. Remember the Director will send live images of yourself and your immediate surroundings.
•
•
•
•
•
Avoid direct sunlight on the subject matter i.e. yourself, the background or onto the camera
lens as this will create harsh contrasts.
If light levels are too low you may need to consider using artificial lighting. Again, avoid direct
illumination of the subject matter and camera lens.
When using artificial lighting, ‘daylight’ type lamps will produce the most effective results.
Avoid colored lighting.
Indirect light from shaded sources or reflected light from pale walls, often produces excellent
results.
Avoid harsh side lighting or strong light from above, for example: strong sunlight from a
window or skylight, as this may put part or all of the subject matter in shadow or cause
silhouetting.
•
•
•
If you still have problems with the iris and lighting, manual adjustment of the camera
parameters might help - see the ‘Video Settings’ menu:
If a subject is backlit, e.g. a person in front of a window, it will appear dark. This can be
corrected by switching on the backlight function (automatic on some cameras).
Dim scenes can also be improved by manually adjusting the brightness.
Brightness Control
For adjusting brightness, colors or other adjustments of the monitor, you must use the controls
monitor’s front panel. Adjust the monitor to suit the conditions of the room. More adjustments can
be made using the on-screen menu. Refer to the monitor’s user manual for more information.
Loudspeaker Volume
The audio system uses the built-in high quality loudspeakers and amplifier specifically designed for
this system. The volume of the audio system is controlled by the volume control keys on the HCS
III remote control. The volume control on the monitor is not used.
Background
The appearance of the picture background is very important but easily overlooked. It is important
to remember that the camera also shows what’s behind you when in a videoconference. To ensure
a suitable background we recommend you consider the following:
•
•
Use a neutral colored background with a medium contrast and a soft texture, e.g. a plain
curtain with no heavy patterns or strong colors that may adversely tint the whole scene.
Avoid moving backgrounds, for example: curtains in a draft, moving objects, or people
walking behind you, as this may both reduce image quality and distract the attention of the
calling party.
•
Do not place the camera facing a doorway.

TANDBERG Director Videoconferencing System
Appendix 6: Security
The TANDBERG Director Videoconferencing system has several features both to protect from
unauthorized use and system access:
Access Code
When ‘Access Code’ is enabled, the user will be asked to enter an access code before he/she is able to
make a call.
The system will verify if the entered access code is valid by checking the code with the allowed codes
listed in the ‘access.txt’ file on the ftp-server in the codec.
If no ‘access.txt’ file is uploaded to the codec, registration of the code will be done without validation.
E.g. you can enter whatever code you want and have access to the system.
The ‘access.txt’ file is a plain text file with one line per access code as shown below:
1234
1250
A1
B2
ABC
To upload this file to the codec, follow these steps:
· Open a DOS-window and go to the folder where the ‘access.txt’ file is located.
· Type ftp <IP-address of your local codec).
· ‘User:’, press Enter or enter IP-password.
· Type “bin” and press Enter
· Go to the user folder, type “cd user”.
· Upload the ‘access.txt’ file, type ‘put access.txt’.
· Exit from ftp, type ‘bye’.
Menu Password
Access to the menu system on the TANDBERG Videoconferencing unit can be controlled using
password protection. This is done by using the following dataport command:
menupassword set <pin-code>. The pin-code should be maximum 5 - five digits. To erase the
password, enter an empty pin-code.
Streaming Password
By setting a streaming password in the streaming menu on the TANDBERG codec, a password have to
be entered on the streaming client to be able to see the videostream from the TANDBERG
Videoconferencing Unit.
IP Password
By setting a IP Password on the TANDBERG codec, all access to the system using IP (Telnet, FTP, WEB)
requires a password. This password can be enabled from telnet or dataport using the command:
ippassword “<ip-password>”.
To remove this password, use the command: ippassword ””. From telnet, this is only possible by first
entering the correct password.

TANDBERG Director Videoconferencing System
Appendix
Services
The different IP services on the TANDBERG codec - FTP, Telnet, HTTP, SNMP and H.323 can be
disabled to prevent access to the system. By using the commands below, the services can be
independently enabled/disabled:
services <telnet/ftp/http/h323/remote-software> <enable/disable> .
In addition, the command ‘services <snmp> <read-only/enable/disable>’ will make it possible to read
SNMP messages in addition to enable/disable SNMP.
SNMP Security alert
This function will notify any Management Application (such as TMS - TANDBERG Management Suite)
if anyone tries to perform Remote Management on the TANDBERG Codec using a illegal password.
The Security alert that is sent to the Management Application will contain information about the IP
address and the service (WEB, Telnet, FTP) being used for the attempt.
If TMS is used, email notifications or alarms about the attempt can be sent to specified persons.
Encryption
All TANDBERG systems support both AES and DES encryption. By default this feature is enabled
such that when connecting with any other video system or MCU, a TANDBERG system will attempt
to establish a secure conference using AES or DES encryption. The TANDBERG system will attempt
this for both IP and ISDN connections. Where a remote system or MCU supports encryption, the
highest common encryption algorithm will be selected on a port by port basis.
The type and status of the encryption negotiated is indicated by padlock symbols and on-screen
messages. Encryption on the TANDBERG systems is fully automatic, and provides clear security status
indicators;
An open padlock indicates that encryption is being initialized, but the conference is not yet
encrypted.
Single padlock indicates DES encryption.
Double padlock indicates AES encryption.
In addition to on-screen indicators the ‘Call Status’ menu provides two information fields regarding
call encryption. The first field is the ‘Encryption Code’ which will identify either ‘AES’ or ’DES’. The
second field is the ‘Encryption Check Code’ and is comprised of an alphanumeric string. This string
will be the same for systems on either side of an encrypted conference. If the Check Codes do not
match this would indicate that the call has been exposed to a ‘Man In The Middle’ attack.
When a TANDBERG codec with MultiSite functionality hosts a conference, the highest possible
encryption algorithm will be negotiated on a site by site basis. MultiSite conferences can therefore
support a mix of AES and DES encrypted endpoints in the same conference.
A conference will only be as secure as its ‘weakest link’. Even though conference participants may
have negotiated and be running AES encryption, if just one participant has negotiated DES
encryption, the AES system will display the single padlock symbol to advise all users of the lowest
encryption mechanism currently in effect.
All TANDBERG endpoint supporting DES encryption can upgrade to AES encryption by applying
TANDBERG’s AES Encryption option. Please contact your TANDBERG representative for more
information.
The standards supporting the encryption mechanisms employed by TANDBERG are: AES, DES,
H.233, H.234 and H.235 with extended Diffie Hellman key distribution via H.320, H.323 and Leased
Line connections.

Appendix 7: 12” Touch Panel Interface
In addition to the touch screen controls, the TANDBERG Director
Videoconferencing system may be controlled through an optional 12”
touch panel interface. Placed on a podium or desktop, a videoconference
presentation can be controlled away from the 3000i touch screen.
Videoconference operation and control will be very similar to the
control interface found on the 3000i touch screen. Buttons and
controls are intuitively laid out and labeled in the same way for both
control interfaces so that placing videoconference calls and making
presentations are simple and straight forward. You will find that the
process for MAKING CALLS, MANUAL DIALING, DIRECTORY SETUP,
DIRECTORY DIALING, DUOVIDEOTF, AND MULTIPOINT are similar between both control interfaces.
Please refer to the appropriate section in this manual for detailed information.
