Conference Template Configuration

The Conference Templates are found in the MCU Configuration tab.

The predefined settings will be used as default settings when creating new conferences based on this specific template. TANDBERG MPS enables the setup of 10 different conference templates.

The conference template contains the same settings as de- scribed in the Create Conference in the Overview section.

Encoder Selection Policy

Best Bit Rate: Set to Best Bit Rate to make the MPS prioritize the video quality for sites based on bit rate. The system will move partici- pants with a Low Video Rate to a secondary encoder, if it is available. If no sites are moved, the system will move sites with Low Video Standard.

Best Video Standard: Set to Best Video Standard to make the MPS prioritize sites based on video standard. The system will move participants with a Low Video Standard to a secondary encoder, if it is available. If no sites are moved, the system will move sites with Low Video Rate.

Best Resolution: Set to Best Resolution to make the MPS prioritize the video quality for sites based on resolution. The system will move participants with a Low Resolution to a secondary encoder, if it is available. If no sites are moved, the system will move sites with low

video rate.

Secondary Rate

On: Set to On to enable Secondary Rate. The conference will support two outgoing bandwidths if needed, in addition to the low rate video.

Off: Set to Off to disable Secondary Rate.

Web Snapshots

The web snapshots are shown in the upper right corner of the web interface, and will show snap- shots of the video from the participants and dual video stream. The snapshots are updated in ac- cordance to the refresh rate (placed above the snapshot).

On: Set to On to enable Web Snapshots. When set to On the Conference Snapshot and Dual Vid- eo Stream Snapshot will show the video transmit- ted from the MCU to the participants.

Off: When set to Off a picture will appear telling that the Web Snapshots are disabled.

Force Aspect Ratio 4:3

This option modifies the default aspect ratio selection policy in a con- ference with a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 endpoints. The setting has no impact on switched video streams (see oVS).

On: When set to On, the video aspect ratio for the conference will be forced to 4x3. This differs from the default setting of the MPS, where the aspect ratio will be 16x9 as long as all participating end points can support 16x9. However, the default setting does not take into account situations where the Codec supports 16x9, but the screen is 4x3. A common example of such a scenario is for large rooms with LED’s or other large screens.

Off: When set to Off (default) the aspect ratio will be based on the capabilities of the endpoints.
