Setting Up the VP-200

Setting up the Sorenson VP-200 videophone is easy. When the VP-200 was originally set up for

you by a Sorenson Trainer you were shown how to position the VP-200 to make calls. The

information provided here addresses some common questions and issues with videophone

placement, room lighting, and camera settings. Your Sorenson Interpreter may ask you to adjust

the placement of the VP-200 during a Sorenson VRS (SVRS) call. By reading the information

here ahead of time, you will be prepared to make such adjustments during your SVRS calls.

To adjust the placement of the VP-200:

1. Place the VP-200 on top of your TV set and then angle the lens towards a chair or sofa

that you will sit on during your videophone calls.

2. Position your chair or sofa about 4 to 6 feet away from the videophone. Be careful not to

sit too far away from the camera. The further back you sit, the smaller your image will

appear to the people you call (the SVRS Interpreter or other deaf videophone user). A

smaller image may make it harder for callers to distinguish your facial expressions, signs,

and your finger spelling.

To optimize the room lighting:

1. Turn on the lights in the room, if needed, to make sure the camera image will be clear.

2. Any light you turn on should be in front of you, not behind you. Strong backlighting can

make it difficult for your callers to see your hands clearly. Close the blinds or curtains if a

window is located behind you.

3. Check to be sure the background behind you (the wall or other surface) is not distracting.

Solid colors are best because some patterns can make it difficult for you to be seen

clearly.

To adjust the focus and image of the VP-200’s lens:

1. First, be sure the VP-200 is not engaged in an active videophone call.

2. Go to the Home screen. Look at the Video Image area of the display. You will see the

image being captured by the VP-200’s camera.

3. Adjust the focus of the VP-200’s camera image by slowly rotating the lens’ focus ring until

you obtain the desired sharpness and clarity of the image on your TV screen.

4. If desired, you can adjust the framing of the image captured by the VP-200 by adjusting

the angle of the lens. To do so, gently move the lens housing up or down as you watch the

image change on your TV screen.
