ESS and other H323 conferences

For conferencs requiring an H323 client, first you need to start the "Emblaze vPoint HD" software by double clicking on this icon:

You now need to type in the address of your conference in the top right hand corner of the vPoint program. If a gatekeeper is required use the format: gatekeeper^number, for example 198.129.252.168^8872553, this is the ECS gatekeeper number used for Fermilab conferences, followed by the one of the conference phone numbers

In some cases the conference organizers will contact you in which case just tell them our IP address, 148.88.190.34.

In order to change any settings for the software, click on the chevrons, on the bottom right of the screen. This will open a screen where you can change things like the camera and the microphone. You should not need to change these though.

Should you wish to use the SONY SD camera instead of the Logitech HD one this can be selected via the Hardware tab of the settings. Choose the following settings under Camera:

The SONY camera can be controlled from within the VPoint software. It allows you to Pan/Tilt and Zoom it.

The Logitech can also be controlled via its own controls, to access them right click on the icon in system tray ( bottom right of the scren ) choose Logitech Webcam controller You can zoom pan and tilt to a limited extent. It does not physically move so this is some clever manipulation of the sensor.
