RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s/Virtual Edition Getting Started Guide

Telepresence Mode Layouts

TPX (Telepresence) and RPX (RealPresence) room systems are configured with high definition cameras
and displays that are set up to ensure that all participants share a sense of being in the same room.
The RealPresence Collaboration Server enables Telepresence Rooms to connect to conferences where
point-to-point connections cannot be used.
Additional video layouts have been created to give Telepresence operators more video layout options when
configuring TPX room systems. These additional video layout options are available for selection when
Telepresence is selected in the conference profile.
The following Layouts are specifically intended for use in Telepresence Mode.

Multiple Switching Modes for Layout Display

If the number of participants is higher than the number of video windows in the selected layout, switching
between video participants can be performed in one of these modes:
● Voice activation (default mode)
● The Collaboration Server user forces participants to selected video window
● Lecture Mode - The lecturer is viewed in full screen by all conference participants, while the audience
is "time-switched" in the speaker's view
● Presentation Mode - When the speaker's presentation extends beyond a predefined time, he/she
becomes the current lecturer and the conference switches to Lecture Mode

Methods for Creating Conferences

The collaboration Server offers various methods for creating, starting and scheduling conferences:

On Demand Conferencing

The following options are available to set up conferences:
● New Conference – Set up once, use once.
The conference is deleted from the MCU after it ends.
