Chair Control
Chair Control is a feature that allows any ViewStation FX or VS4000
in a non-H.323 multi-point call to do the following:
• Select which sites to view
• Select which site broadcasts its video to all other sites
• Disconnect sites from a multi-point call
Any site in the call can access the Chair Control screen. However,
only one site can have chair control at a time. That site must release
the chair control before another site can acquire it.
To access the Chair Control screen, you must be in a multi-point call.
Press the NEAR button and select the Gavel icon. The following
screen appears:
Figure 2-6. Chair Control Screen
The icons on the left of the screen are Chair Control Actions. The
bottom right-center icons are the sites in the call. Use the right and
left arrow keys to select sites in the call. If there are more than three
sites in the call, you can scroll to the right to see those sites. Use the
up and down arrow keys to select actions to perform on the
highlighted site.
You can perform the following actions in chair control.
