Setting Category Description
Meeting Mode Selects the initial mode for the Moderated Type Meeting.
These modes are only valid when the selected [Meeting Type] is
[Moderated].
Open Forum: Participants can hear the Chairman and those the
Chairman has granted permission to speak.
Side Meeting: Only the Chairman and those the Chairman has
granted permission to speak can hear each other. Conversations
cannot be heard by participants who have not been granted
permission to speak.
Presenting: Only the Chairman can be heard by all
participants.
Lecture: Under default conditions, only the Chairman can be
heard by all participants. In such cases, only the Chairman's
video appears on the General Users' screens, while video of each
General User appears on the Chairman's screen in a multiple
video screen layout.
If the Chairman grants a General User permission to speak, the
Chairman and this General User will be heard by all participants.
In such cases, the screens of each of the General Users will
switch to a multiple video screen layout displaying the Chairman
and the user the Chairman has granted permission to speak.
Notes
• You can not change modes while a meeting conducted in [Lecture]
mode is in progress.
• When [CP4] is selected for an SD resolution (CIF, 4CIF) in
[Lecture] mode, the Chairman's display will be split into a 4-screen
layout, but the General Users' displays will not. Instead, the CP
layout of General Users will change according to the number of
participants that have been granted permission to speak.
Operator Mode Configure this mode for meetings in which the Chairman simply
controls the speakers and display modes, without actively
participating.
These modes are only valid when the selected [Meeting Type] is
[Moderated].
Disable: Disables use of the Operator Mode.
MIC OFF: Permission to speak is not granted to any participants
at the start of the meeting.
MIC ON: Grants all participants permission to speak at the start
of the meeting.
Note
[Operator Mode] can only be used when the selected [Meeting Mode]
is [Open Forum].
Bandwidth Selects the method for controlling the Meeting bandwidth.
Control STATIC: Each endpoint that enters the conference is limited to
the bandwidth configured in the [Max Bandwidth (ep)]
parameter.
DYNAMIC: The server will dynamically allocate the bandwidth
equally among the Meeting participants. The bandwidth set for
[Max Bandwidth (ep)] is the maximum endpoint bandwidth.
Once the Meeting Bandwidth has reached the value set in [Max
Bandwidth (conf)], the server will automatically adjust the
bandwidth allocated to each endpoint.
