Setting Description
Multipoint Mode Video images from multiple sites can be automatically
combined on one screen in a display know as continuous
presence.
uninterrupted for at least 15 seconds, that site appears in
presentation mode.
What you see during a multipoint call can depend on factors such as the
Polycom HDX system monitor configuration, the number of sites in the call,
the speed of the call, whether content is shared, and whether dual monitor
emulation is used. The multipoint viewing mode on the host system is the
mode used in the call.
During SD multipoint calls that include more than four sites, the Polycom
HDX system can display the site that is hosting the conference along with the
last three sites where people spoke. In HD multipoint calls, the Polycom
HDX 9004 can display up to eight sites in continuous presence. For more
information about HD and SD multipoint, refer to
on page 3-40.
