TrueConf Videobar Guide

# Endpoint management

# How to connect

Connect the power cable, network interface, monitor and audio output devices (headphones, speakers or output audio via HDMI to a monitor with built-in speakers) to your video conferencing endpoint.

For TrueConf Videobar 010 and TrueConf Videobar 015 models: if you need to output sound via HDMI, use the HDMI out 2 port because HDMI out 1 does not support audio output.

You can also connect the following devices:

  • Additional monitor

  • External webcam and microphone

  • Content display device (for TrueConf Videobar 015 and TrueConf Videobar 025).

# TrueConf Videobar 010/015 remote control

You can manage your endpoint using the remote control powered by two AAA batteries (included in the package). It uses a 2.4 GHz band that helps enhance the control range and usability as compared to IR remotes.

# Managing multiple endpoints using a single remote control

Only for models 010 and 015.

You can manage several TrueConf Videobar endpoints simultaneously using a single remote control. To do it, you should bind your remote control with each device as follows:

  1. Press the OK and asterisk buttons on your remote control simultaneously and hold them — the LED will start blinking after 3 seconds.

  2. Release the buttons — the LED will keep blinking.

  3. Turn on the endpoint.

  4. If the binding is successful, the LED will be coming on for 2 seconds and then turn off. Otherwise, if there is a pairing error, the LED will be quickly blinking for 20 seconds and then will be slowly blinking for 3 seconds. After that, the remote control will go into sleep mode.

To unbind the remote control from TrueConf Videobar:

  1. Turn on the endpoint.

  2. Press the OK and hash buttons simultaneously and hold them down on your remote control for 3 seconds — the LED will start blinking.

  3. Release the remote control buttons — the LED will turn off, while the device will be unbound. Otherwise, if there is an error, the LED will be blinking for 20 seconds, while the remote control will go into sleep mode.
