TANDBERG 5000 Manual Do Utilizador

This section explains how to carry out basic adjustments and simple tests to ensure that you send and receive

the best possible image and audio quality when using your Vision 5000.

By default the Vision 5000 camera will use an automatic iris to compensate for changes in lighting. In

addition to this feature you may further assist the Vision 5000 to maintain the best possible image quality by

paying special attention to environmental lighting and background colours as described below. Remember

the Vision 5000 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. As above avoid direct

illumination of the subject matter and camera lens.

• When using artificial lighting, ‘daylight’ type lamps will produce the most effective results. Avoid

coloured 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 ‘Camera adjustments’ in ‘Video Input’ menu.

 • Dim scenes can also be improved by manually adjusting the camera brightness setting.

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 neutrally coloured background with a medium contrast and a soft texture, e.g. a plain curtain with

no heavy patterns or strong colours that may adversely tint the whole scene.
