Auto Scan (AVC-based CP Only Conferences)

Auto Scan enables a user to define a single cell in the conference layout to cycle the display of participants
that are not in the conference layout.
Customized Polling allows the cyclic display to be set to a predefined order for a predefined time period.
The cyclic display only occurs when the number of participants is larger than the number of cells in the
layout.
