Managing Near End Video Quality
Before you place a call, examine the near end video image from the camera connected to
your LifeSize system. If the image flickers, colors appear unbalanced, or the image appears
too dark, you may need to adjust the room lighting or camera settings. For more information,
refer to “Adjusting Room Lighting” on page 32 and “Camera Issues” on page 32.
Placing a Call
You can place a video or voice call with your LifeSize system in the following ways:
• Select a stored number from the REDIAL list on the main screen or from the directory.
• Manually dial a number using the following:
- Video Call or Voice Call buttons on the main screen
-video or voice keys on the LifeSize Phone if connected to your system
Placing a Call from the REDIAL List
The REDIAL list on the main screen stores up to 15 recently dialed numbers. A scroll bar
appears when more than five entries are available for selection. The oldest entry in the list is
automatically removed when the system receives a call after the maximum number of
entries has been reached.
The last call placed always appears at the top of the list. The entry includes the name of the
party called and an icon that indicates whether the number is a voice or video
number. The entry’s number (and bandwidth if the entry is a video number) appears
below the list.
To place a call from the REDIAL list, use the arrow keys on the remote control to select an
entry and press the OK key.
To change the bandwidth for a video call on the REDIAL list before placing the call, select
Video Call on the main screen, press the OK key twice, and use the right arrow key to
select the bandwidth list. Change the bandwidth to a setting other than Auto.
Note: Selecting Auto from the Video Call selection before placing a call does not change
the bandwidth selection for an entry on the REDIAL list that does not have Auto as
its last called bandwidth.
You can adjust the maximum number of entries that appear in the REDIAL list by adjusting
the Maximum Redial Entries preference in User Preferences : Calls. You can also add
entries from the REDIAL list to the local directory and manually remove entries or lock them
to prevent them from being automatically removed when the maximum number of entries is
reached. For more information, refer to “Managing the REDIAL List” on page 27.
