Continuous Presence

Continuous presence enables viewing multiple participants of a videoconference at the same time,
including the active speaker. This graphics-intensive work requires scaling and mixing the images
together into one of the predefined video layouts. The range of video layouts depends on the type of
media processing supported, typically located in the MCU.
Control
Control, or media control, sets up and manages the media of a call (its audio, video and data). Control
messages include checking compatibility between endpoints, negotiating video and audio codecs, and
other parameters like resolution, bitrate and frame rate. Control is communicated via H.245 in H.323
endpoints, or by SDP in SIP endpoints. Control occurs within the framework of an established call, after
signaling.

Dedicated Endpoint
A dedicated endpoint is a hardware endpoint for videoconferencing assigned to a single user. It is often
referred to as a personal or executive endpoint, and serves as the main means of video communications
for this user. For example, Scopia
associated exclusively with this user.
Dial Plan
A dial plan defines a way to route a call and to determine its characteristics. In traditional telephone
networks, prefixes often denote geographic locations. In videoconferencing deployments, prefixes are
also used to define the type and quality of a call. For example, dial 8 before a number for a lower
bandwidth call, or 6 for an audio-only call, or 5 to route the call to a different branch.
