RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 800s/Virtual Edition Administrator's Guide

Horizontal Striping

Horizontal Striping is used by the Collaboration Server in order to prevent cropping and preserve the aspect
ratio of video for all Telepresence Modes.

Cropping

Cropping is used by the Collaboration Server in order to preserve the aspect ratio of video for all
Telepresence Modes.
Cropping is controlled by the ITP_CROPPING system flag in the system configuration, providing different
cropping options according to the endpoints participating in the Telepresence conference.
By default, the flag is set to ITP. In this mode, the area to be stripped is cropped equally from the top and
the bottom (as shown in the example below). For more details, see Modifying System Flags .

Gathering Phase with ITP Room Systems

When a conference is configured to include a Gathering Phase, only one endpoint name is displayed for the
ITP room in the connected participant list of the Gathering slide. The ITP room endpoint with the suffix "1"
in its name receives the Gathering slide.

Aspect ratio for standard endpoints

Standard endpoints (non-ITP) receive video from the Collaboration Server with the same aspect ratio as that
which they transmitted to the Collaboration Server.

Skins and Frames

When Telepresence Mode is enabled, no Skin is displayed and the system uses a black background.
Frames around individual layout windows and the speaker indication are disabled.
