Avaya 1030 User Manual

32

Avaya systems include support for sharing data from the presentation input (typically a 
personal computer connected to the codec) while simultaneously showing video from the 
primary input. This enables you to view a live presenter and the content at the same time. 

If you wish to change the primary and secondary inputs you can do so either prior to the call 
or at any time during a call. Refer to “Changing Video Inputs” on page 30.

By default, support for presentations is enabled on an Avaya system. During a call, if you 
connect a video input device other than an Avaya Video Camera 150 or 
Avaya Video Camera 100 to a video input connector on the codec, such as connecting a 
laptop to the system, a presentation starts automatically. The presentation stops 
automatically if the video input device is disconnected from the system. 

An administrator can disable support for presentations, disable automatic start of a 
presentation when a video input device is connected, or both. 

You can show presentation video even if presentations are disabled on your system or 
another system in a call. During a call, 

 Start presentation appears in the navigation bar 

if systems participating in the call support presentations. If support for presentations is 
disabled on the system, or if all other systems in the call do not support presentations, the 

 button appears in the navigation bar followed by the name of the presentation input 

currently selected for the system (typically PC for a personal computer connected to the 
codec). Pressing the 

 button in this case, swaps the primary and presentation inputs. The 

system sends video from the presentation input as the primary input. Pressing the 

 

button again or ending the call, returns the inputs to their original selections.
