Reference
If you do allow an endpoint to display its own video then the TelePresence Server always places the self
view last when placing participants in the available view panes, even if the participant is one of the loudest in
the call (i.e. even if he or she is shown prominently to the other conference participants).
Show full screen view of single-screen endpoints
When placing participants within layout panes, the TelePresence Server places the "loudest" people first, in
the most prominent panes, and the quietest people in the smaller panes. However, in conferences with a
mixture of TelePresence systems (which typically use large, high resolution, displays) and systems capable
of much lower quality video (for example, video-capable cellphones) it is not always desirable for the lower-
resolution participants to be shown in the large full screen panes.
For single screen systems, the Show full screen view of single-screen endpoints setting determines
if/how an endpoint is allowed to be shown in a large full-screen pane. Available settings are Always, Dynamic
and Disabled.
Always: Single screen endpoints will always be allowed to occupy a main pane of a multiscreen endpoint.
n
Dynamic: Single screen endpoints will be visible in the main pane of a multiscreen endpoint if no other
n
multiscreen endpoints are in the conference. If a multiscreen endpoint joins the conference, single screen
endpoints will be demoted to the pip strip.
Disabled: Single screen endpoints will never be shown in the main pane of multiscreen endpoints.
n
This setting is not displayed for multi-screen endpoints and endpoint groups.
Minimum screen layout setting
As described above, when choosing which conference layout to send to a participant the TelePresence
Server takes into account the number of screens used by other participants in the conference. For example,
the following layout is sent to single screen systems if there are any four screen systems in the conference:
The Minimum screen layout allows you to influence the layout used either because of personal preference
or to avoid dynamic changes during the conference (for example, if you know that a four-screen endpoint will
join the conference at some point, then using the 4 screens wide setting tells the TelePresence Server to
choose layouts based on its presence even before it has connected).
The default setting — Auto detect — causes the TelePresence Server to apply the choices described above
based on the actual number of screens in use by the conference participants.
However, a setting of 3 screens wide or 4 screens wide causes the TelePresence Server to apply the layout
choices described above based on the actual number of screens used by the conference participants and the
virtual presence of a three- or four-screen endpoint. For example, 4 screens wide would provide the following
layout to all single screen endpoints in the conference even if all of the current participants are using single
screen systems.
Equally, if you select a setting of 3 screens wide and a four-screen endpoint joins the conference, the view
will change to the one above.
