Support for telepresence conference rooms joining the conference:
•
Auto (default) — A conference is automatically put into telepresence mode
when a telepresence endpoint (RPX, TPX, ATX, or OTX) joins.
•
On— Telepresence mode is on, regardless of whether a telepresence
endpoint is present.
•
Off— Telepresence mode is off, regardless of whether a telepresence
endpoint is present.
We recommend always using Auto. Available only on v6.0 and newer
Polycom MCUs that are licensed for telepresence mode. For information on
Polycom MCU licensing and activation, refer to the MCU's Getting Started
Guide.
Note: The system flag ITP_CERTIFICATION must be set to YES. See the
information about system flags in the MCU's Administrator's Guide.
Layout choices for telepresence conferences:
•
Manual — Layout is controlled manually by a conference operator using
the Multipoint Layout Application (MLA) interface.
•
Continuous Presence — Tells the MLA to generate a multipoint view
(standard or custom).
•
Room Switch — Tells the MLA to use Voice Activated Room Switching
(VARS). The speaker's site is the only one seen by others.
•
Speaker Priority — Ensures that the current speaker is always displayed in
the video layout. The previous speakers are also displayed if there is room
in the layout. In this mode, each endpoint in the conference reserves
screens for displaying the active speaker in the largest video layout cell
available.
Not available if Telepresence mode is No. See the Polycom Multipoint
Layout Application User Guide for more information about layouts.
