Description

 

 

 

 

Video Session

Select the appropriate Video Session:

 

 

Video Switching - To set a conference in which all

 

 

the participants use the same video and audio

 

 

formats, by setting the communication parameters to

 

 

the common capabilities. Whenever a participant

 

 

starts to speak, he/she appears on all screens as the

 

 

conference is a voice activated video switching

 

 

conference. All participants view the participant who

 

 

is the speaker. Up to 16 or 30 participants (if at least

 

 

one Audio Bridge is set to 1/30) can take part in a

 

 

Video Switching conference using the standard

 

 

Audio card. Up to 100 participants at 128Kbps can

 

 

take part in a conference running on the Audio+

 

 

card.

 

 

 

Transcoding - To set a conference in which

 

 

participants use different video, audio and data

 

 

formats, maintaining the highest video and audio

 

 

capability each participant can achieve with his/her

 

 

codec. Like Video Switching, the current speaker is

 

 

displayed on all terminals.

 

 

Transcoding is performed on the following:

 

 

Line rate

 

 

Audio algorithm

 

 

Video format

 

 

Frame rate

 

 

Restricted/non-restricted

 

 

Bonding/non-bonding

 

 

Different data rates

 

 

Continuous Presence (CP) - A Continuous

 

 

Presence conference is a conference in which

 

 

several participants can be viewed simultaneously.

 

 

Each participant uses their own codec capabilities,

 

 

thus maintaining the highest video, audio and data

 

 

capability that can be achieved.
