Video Session
(cont.)
•
Continuous Presence - To set a conference in which
several participants can be viewed simultaneously in
video layout windows. In this conference type, each
participant endpoint’s capabilities are used, to maintain
the highest possible video, audio and data quality
according to the conference settings.Hence, this
conference type requires MCU video resources.
Once Continuous Presence is selected, the categories
of video layout arrangements are available:
— Classic - participants can be displayed in up to 9
video windows arranged in 21 video layouts that
can be used with all types of Video card.
— Quad Views - This mode should be selected when
the conference includes 10 participants or more
that can be arranged in three different layouts.
Five additional layouts are also available for
selection. This conference type uses Video+ card
resources.
— Software (SWCP) - a software solution that
resembles the Continuous Presence functionality,
but does not use video card resources. Offers only
two video layouts: 2x1 and 2x2. Implemented in IP
only conferences.
Continuous Presence conferences can also be defined
as Conference On Port (COP), to save video
resources. For more details, see the MGC Manager
User’s Guide Volume II, Chapter 1 “Advanced
Conference Settings”.
For more details on Video Session options, see “Video
Session Types” on page 4-7.
