Choosing the Camera Mode

There are four video modes you can choose from based on your conferencing scenario. Cycle between them using the Video Mode button (yellow color). The first time you use TOTEM, the Conferencing mode is the default mode. Otherwise, you will continue from the last mode used.

1. The Conferencing mode provides a 360° view of the whole table, while tracking up to four active speakers, highlighting them in individual close-ups.
   Tip: Place the camera in the center of the meeting room table, with the letter “O” in IPEVO facing the TV. This way, the TV will only appear at the edges of the 360° image.
   

2. To display the conferencing room without bringing focus to individual people, select the Surround mode. In this mode, the 360° view is divided into two horizontal screens, providing a full view of everyone at thetable.
   Tip: Place the camera in the center of the meeting room table, with the letter “O” in IPEVO facing the TV. This way, the TV will only appear at the edges of the 360° image.
   

3. The Hybrid Learning mode makes the lessonsimmersive for the online participants, allowing them to see the lecturer and the class at the same time. The onboard AI tracks the presenter’s movements, keeping the focus of the shot on the presenter and the presented materials.
   Tip: Place TOTEM between the lecturer and the participants, with the buttons facing the lecturer.
