Specifies the layout for telepresence conferences:
• Manual – Layout is controlled manually by a conference operator using the Multipoint Layout
Application (MLA) interface.
• Continuous Presence (MLA) – Tells the MLA to generate a multipoint view (standard or
custom).
• Room Switch – Tells the MLA to use Voice Activated Room Switching (VARS). The speaker's
site is the only one seen by others.
• Speaker Priority – Ensures that the current speaker is always displayed in the video layout.
The previous speakers are also displayed if there is room in the layout. In this mode, each
endpoint in the conference reserves screens for displaying the active speaker in the largest
video layout cell available.
Auto Scan Available only when CP (Continuous Presence) conferencing mode is selected.
Interval(s)
Specifies the time interval (between 5 - 300 seconds) that Auto Scan uses to cycle the display of
participants that are not in the conference layout in the selected cell.
Auto Scan is often used in conjunction with Customized Polling which allows the cyclic display
to be set to a predefined order for a predefined time period.
Auto Layout Available only when CP (Continuous Presence) conferencing mode is selected.
When selected, the system automatically selects the conference layout based on the number of
participants currently connected to the conference. When a new video participant connects or
disconnects, the conference layout automatically changes to reflect the new number of video
participants.
