1.1 At a Glance
Camera
The camera is an integrated part of the unit
and is centrally placed just above the
monitor. On the Utility MXP it is possible to
close the camera (for privacy) by sliding
across a door.
Monitor
The Digital LCD displays the far-end
videoconferencing site in addition to the
menu.
Codec
The codec is the heart of the system. Its main
task is the compression of outgoing video,
audio and data, the transmission of this
information to the far end and the
decompression of the incoming information -
the name codec comes from a combination of
the two words compression and
decompression.

Microphone
The microphone is integrated and located at the edge on the left hand side of the unit.
Handset
For privacy, both Utility MXP and Compass MXP are delivered with a handset located on the right
hand side of the unit. Lifting the handset from the cradle automatically toggles between internal
microphone/loudspeaker and the handset.
Lamp
A LED (light emitting diode) lamp is integrated into the top of the unit and gives optimally directed
additional illumination to the users face. This improves the quality of the image transmitted to the
