Restricting Content Broadcast to Lecturer

Content broadcasting can be restricted to the conference lecturer only,
when one of the conference participants is set as the lecturer (and not
automatically selected by the system). Restricting the Content Broadcast
prevents the accidental interruption or termination of H.239 Content that
is being shared in a conference.
Content Broadcast restriction is enabled by setting the
RESTRICT_CONTENT_BROADCAST_TO_LECTURER system flag to
ON. When set to OFF (default) it enables all users to send Content.
When enabled, the following rules apply:
• Content can only be sent by the designated lecturer. When any other
participant tries to send Content, the request is rejected.
• If the RMX user changes the designated lecturer (in the Conference
Properties - Video Settings dialog box), the Content of the current
lecturer is stopped immediately and cannot be renewed.
• The RMX User can abort the H.239 Session of the lecturer.
• Content Broadcasting is not implemented in conferences that do not
include a designated lecturer and the lecturer is automatically
selected by the system (for example, in Presentation Mode).
Content Broadcast Control
Content Broadcast Control prevents the accidental interruption or
termination of H.239 Content that is being shared in a conference.
Content Broadcast Control achieves this by giving Content Token ownership
to a specific endpoint via the RMX Web Client. Other endpoints are not
able to send content until Content Token ownership has been transferred to
another endpoint via the RMX Web Client.
Guidelines
• Content Broadcast Control is supported in MPM+ and MPMx card
configuration modes.
• Content Broadcast Control is supported in CP and Video Switching
conferences.
• Content Broadcast Control is supported in H.323 environments.
• Only the selected Content Token owner may send content and Content
Token requests from other endpoints are rejected.
