Option	Description

Video Session	If the number of participants is less than or equal to
(cont.)	the number of participants displayed, each
	participant can see all of the other participants.
	When selecting Continuous Presence the following
	layout options are available:
	•	Classic
	•	Quad Views
	•	Software
	Classic - Classic Continuous Presence used the
	standard Video card. 21 video layouts are available
	in this mode.
	Quad Views - The Quad Views mode requires the
	Video+ card. It includes layouts for large video
	conferences. This mode should be selected when
	the conference includes 10 par tic pants or more.
	Software - Software Continuous Presence is
	implemented in IP networks only and is a software
	solution that resembles the Continuous Presence
	feature in terms of functionality, without using video
	card resources. Software CP combines four
	incoming QCIF streams with fixed video bitrate from
	four different participants into one outgoing CIF
	stream.
