摘要： In various embodiments, a system may include a first conferencing system with a first speaker and a second speaker. The first conferencing system may be coupled to a second conferencing system and a third conferencing system. In some embodiments, audio from the second conferencing system may be reproduced through the first speaker, and audio from the third conferencing system may be reproduced through the second speaker. In some embodiments, audio from various participants at various conferencing systems may be reproduced on audio system components relative to the location of participants at the conferencing system. For example, audio from a first participant on the left side of a camera at a second conferencing system may be reproduced through left side speakers at the first conferencing system.

摘要： In some embodiments, the components of a videoconferencing system may be incorporated in a unitary housing. For example, an integrated videoconferencing system may include microphones to capture participant audio and a camera to capture participant video (along with corresponding audio processing capabilities) in a unitary housing. The unitary housing may also include speakers to produce audio from conference participants and a display to provide video of conference participants. The integrated videoconferencing system may include a codec for encoding and/or decoding). The integrated videoconferencing system may also perform other conference related functions. The integrated videoconferencing system may be used as a speakerphone (e.g., in audio only calls) and/or a videoconference system. The integrated videoconferencing system may also fold into a compact form for portability.

摘要： In various embodiments, a camera may be controlled by one or more motors in a base of the camera. Cables and other components may be used to manipulate the camera lens through the side arms of the camera. Putting the motors in the base may reduce the size of the outer case of the camera and add stability. A pan motor may pan the camera while a tilt motor may move a tilt pulley relative to a lens portion of the camera (which may or may not tilt the camera depending on the panning motion of the camera). In some embodiments, images from the camera may be converted into a serialized stream and transported over a cable from the lens through a center shaft of the camera.
摘要翻译：在各种实施例中，照相机可以由相机底座中的一个或多个电动机控制。电缆和其他组件可用于通过相机的侧臂操纵相机镜头。将电机放入底座可能会降低摄像机外壳的尺寸并增加稳定性。摇摄电机可以在倾斜电机相对于相机的透镜部分移动倾斜滑轮的同时平移相机（根据相机的平移运动可能倾斜或可能不倾斜相机）。在一些实施例中，来自相机的图像可以被转换成串行化的流并且通过电缆从透镜通过照相机的中心轴传送。

摘要： In some embodiments, spatially realistic audio may be provided for a conference call. Voices from participants on the left side of a display, in a conference call, may be directed through audio on the left side of the display at the other conferencing system in the conference call (similarly for voices from the center and right side of the display). In some embodiments, two speakers may be used in the system to create synthesized stereo sound at a location specified by directional information received as side information along with the existing audio channel. The location may be determined by using beamforming with integrated microphones on a camera or speakerphone. In some embodiments, the audio signal and directional information may be sent in the form of a left audio channel and a right audio channel.
摘要翻译：在一些实施例中，可以为电话会议提供空间上逼真的音频。在电话会议中，来自显示器左侧的参与者的声音可以通过电话会议中另一个会议系统的显示器左侧的音频来引导（类似于来自显示器的中心和右侧的语音））。在一些实施例中，系统中可以使用两个扬声器，以在由作为辅助信息接收的方向信息指定的位置与现有音频通道一起创建合成立体声。该位置可以通过使用在相机或扬声器电话上的集成麦克风的波束形成来确定。在一些实施例中，音频信号和方向信息可以以左声道和右音频通道的形式发送。

摘要： System and method for controlling video display modes in a video conferencing system. An audio signal from each of a plurality of video conferencing system locations may be received. An accumulated amount of audio signal may be determined from each of one or more of the audio signals. Subsequently, a display mode of two or more possible display modes may be determined for at least one of the video conferencing system locations based on the determined accumulated audio signal. Determining the accumulated audio signal may comprise determining a signal metric for each of one or more of the audio signals using an integrated form of the signal. The method may include comparing accumulated amounts of audio signal from one or more audio signals with at least one accumulation threshold. The display mode may also be determined based on the comparison between the accumulated audio signal and at least one accumulation threshold.
