displays) and systems capable of much lower quality video (for example, video-capable cellphones) it is
not always desirable for the lower-resolution participants to be shown in the large full screen panes.
For single screen systems, the Show full screen view of single-screen endpoints setting determines
whether an endpoint is ever allowed to be shown in a large full-screen pane.
If this option is not selected, the endpoint will never be shown full screen to other conference
participants, even if it is one of the loudest speakers in the conference. If this option is selected, the
endpoint will be shown full screen when it is one of the active speakers in the conference.
This setting is not displayed for multi-screen endpoints and endpoint groups.
Minimum screen layout setting
As described above, when choosing which conference layout to send to a participant the TelePresence
Server takes into account the number of screens used by other participants in the conference. For
example, the following layout is sent to single screen systems if there are any four screen systems in the
conference:
whereas the following layout is used if all participants are connected via one and two screen systems.
The Minimum screen layout allows you to influence the layout used either because of personal
preference or to avoid dynamic changes during the conference (for example, if you know that a four-
screen endpoint will join the conference at some point, then using the 4 screens wide setting tells the
TelePresence Server to choose layouts based on its presence even before it has connected).
The default setting — Auto detect — causes the TelePresence Server to apply the choices described
above based on the actual number of screens in use by the conference participants.
However, with a setting of 3 screens wide or 4 screens wide causes the TelePresence Server to apply
the layout choices described above based on the actual number of screens used by the conference
participants and the virtual presence of a three- or four-screen endpoint. For example, 4 screens wide
would provide the following layout to all single screen endpoints in the conference even if all of the
current participants are using single screen systems.
Equally, if you select a setting of 3 screens wide and a four-screen endpoint joins the conference, the
view will change to the one above.
Show continuous presence panes setting
Most multi-screen conference layouts, for example:
consist of a set of full screen panes plus a number of overlaid smaller panes. These overlaid smaller
panes are known as continuous presence panes because they allow the TelePresence Server to
continuously show all participants that are present. You can choose whether or not to display the
continuous presence panes by selecting Show continuous presence panes.
