Content Sharing

Content such as graphics, presentations, documents or live video can be shared with
conference participants using the H.239 (H.323) or BFCP (SIP) protocol, which is the
standard protocols for content sharing.

H.239 Protocol

The H.239 protocol allows compliant endpoints to transmit and receive two simultaneous
video streams:
•
•
By default, all conferences, Entry Queues, and Meeting Rooms launched on the Collaboration
Server have H.239 capabilities.
To view Content, endpoints must use the same Bit Rate, Protocol, and Resolution. Endpoints
may not send Content while connecting to an Entry Queue.
Endpoints without H.239 capability can connect to the video conference without Content.
Cascade links declare H.239 capabilities and they are supported in Star cascading
topologies. For more details, see "Basic Cascading" on page 5-3.
