Conference layouts
The layout chosen by the TelePresence Server for a system depends on the number of screens that the
system has and the characteristics of the other conference participants. Endpoints can also choose a layout
with far end camera control or DTMF keys 2 and 8 or can be preconfigured to one of the choices below. The
TelePresence Server is capable of working with one-, two-, three- and four-screen regular and immersive
endpoints, and displaying any combination of those systems participating in a conference to any other type of
system in the conference.
In general, the behavior of the TelePresence Server is to display the "loudest" participants in the most
prominent layout panes. If there are more contributors than there are panes available, then the "quietest"
participants are not shown.
Layouts sent to single-screen systems
The default layout can be configured either boxwide or per participant. This default setting can be overridden
by a participant changing the layout selection using far end camera control or via DTMF keys 2 and 8.
In ActivePresence layout, the loudest participant appears full screen with additional participants appearing in
up to nine equally sized overlaid panes at the bottom of the screen.
The ActivePresence layout is possible when the other participants in the conference are all single-screen
endpoints, or a mixture of single-screen endpoints and multiple-screen systems that reveal which camera
has the loudest audio input (the Cisco TelePresence TX9000 for example).
The TelePresence Server composes the layout for single-screen endpoints according to the setting of the
Default layout type for single-screen endpoints:
