Description
Select the Telepresence Mode from the drop-down menu:
• Off - Normal conference video is sent by the Collaboration Server.
• Auto (Default) - If any ITP (Immersive Telepresence) endpoints are detected,
ITP features are applied to the conference video for all participants.
When Auto is selected, the ITP features are dynamic. If all ITP endpoints
disconnect from the conference, normal conference video is resumed for all
participants. ITP features are resumed for all participants should an ITP
endpoint re-connects to the conference.
• On - ITP features are applied to the conference video for all participants
regardless of whether there are ITP endpoints connected or not.
Notes:
• This field is enabled only if the Collaboration Server system is licensed for
Telepresence Mode.
• Telepresence Mode is unavailable in Video Switching conferences
(RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/4000).
The Telepresence Layout Mode drop-down menu enables VNOC operators and
Polycom Multi Layout Applications to retrieve Telepresence Layout Mode
information from the Collaboration Server.
The following modes can be selected:
• Manual
• Continuous presence - Room Continuous Presence (Default)
• Room Switch - Voice Activated Room Switching. For more information see
Room Switch Telepresence
Note: This field is enabled only if the Collaboration Server system is licensed for
Telepresence Mode.
Select the time interval, 5 - 300 seconds, that Auto Scan uses to cycle the display
of participants that are not in the conference layout in the selected cell.
Auto Scan is often used in conjunction with Customized Polling which allows the
cyclic display to be set to a predefined order for a predefined time period.
When selected (default), the system automatically selects the conference layout
based on the number of participants currently connected to the conference. When a
new video participant connects or disconnects, the conference layout automatically
changes to reflect the new number of video participants.
For more information, see
Clear this selection to manually select a layout for the conference.
The default Auto Layout settings can be customized by modifying default Auto
Layout system flags in the System Configuration file. For more information see,
Auto Layout Configuration.
Note: In some cases, the default layout automatically selected for the conference
contains more cells than the number of connected participants, resulting in an
empty cell. For example, if the number of connected participants is 4, the default
layout is 2x2, but as only 3 participants are displayed in the layout (the participants
do not see themselves), one cell is empty.
