Used for joining two or more conferences together.
Auto will automatically determine which conference is 'master' and which conference(s) are
'slave'. The 'master' conference will have control over the video layout. When left in 'Auto'
mode, the conference dialling in to the other conferences, will become the 'master'.
Master should be used when this conference is the one controlling the video layout for the
whole conference. It is not recommended to have more than one 'master' in a conference.
Slave should be used when another conference manually has been assigned 'master'. The
slave will be forced to Full Screen voice switched mode, please refer to Video – Conference
Layout below for details.
Determines the maximum duration of the conference. All sites will be disconnected when the
specified 'Max Call Duration' has been reached. 10 minutes, 5 minutes and one minute prior
to this, a warning will be displayed to all the video participants in this conference, indicating
the remaining time. But the conference will remain active allowing sites to dial in again and
restart the conference timer. The conference administrator can extend the time. The timer for
the max call duration will not begin until the first participant is connected.
When connecting older videoconferencing endpoints to the MCU, problems can occur
since older equipment sometimes do not handle modern capabilities. When set to 0-7, all
capabilities are sent from the MCU. From 8-14 H.264 is disabled. The only capabilities sent
for level 15 are H.261, G.711 and G.722.
When selected, the participant requesting the floor will be shown in full screen to all the other
video participants, regardless of current speaker. The same will happen if the conference
administrator 'Assign Floor' to a site.
When unselected, the participant requesting the floor will be shown in the largest sub-picture
if there is one in the selected layout.
When defining a conference, a specific billing code can be assigned to it. All calls in
this conference will be associated with this billing code. Management tools, such as the
TANDBERG Management Suite, can then use it for billing purposes.
Used to select a specific Conference Layout for the conference. The screen will be split into
a specified number of sub-pictures. The currently speaking participant will be shown in the
largest sub-picture in asymmetric layouts. With fewer participants than the total number of
sub-pictures, the empty sub-pictures will be black. If there are more participants than the total
number of sub-pictures, only the last speakers will be displayed.
Au�� will automatically select the most suitable conference layout depending of the total
number of participants in the actual conference.
