Using the Display Control

During a multipoint videoconference with the MCU software installed in the
Video Communication System you can control the following operations.

What is "Broadcast Mode"?

You can use the "Split", "Split (Fixed)", "Voice Activate" and "Broadcast"
modes.
Split mode
This mode allows display of the pictures from the connected remote terminals
and the picture of the local terminal by splitting the screen.
According to the connected terminals, the full screen (1 terminal connected),
four-split windows (1 or 2 terminals connected) or six-split windows (4 or 5
terminals connected) are displayed.
Pictures A to C (or A to E) appear in order of connecting.

Notes
• When the six-split window is displayed, the System detects the terminal including the
loudest sound among all the terminals and displays the picture of that terminal in the
lower right window. The picture on the local site is then displayed in the window
where the picture of the detected terminal was displayed.
• If you switch the broadcast mode from Split mode to Voice Activate mode in which
a picture of a specified terminal is shown in full screen during communication, the
location of Pictures A to E will be changed when the Split mode is restored.
• When there is one terminal, the display is switched to Full Screen regardless of the
display setting.
• When your system is in the Split or Split (Fixed) mode, you cannot control the camera
on any connected remote terminals.
