Setting the Viewing Modes for the ViewStation MP

The ViewStation MP enables you to select different viewing modes to see the remote sites in a multi-point videoconference (even during a call). These viewing modes are called Automatic mode, Discussion mode and Presentation mode. The default mode is Automatic mode, which switches between Discussion and Presentation mode automatically, depending on the conversation style of your meeting.

Automatic Mode. In Automatic mode, the system determines the optimal viewing mode based on the interaction between the sites. If there is more than one site talking, everyone will see everyone else in the meeting, either in a three- or a four-way display. This is called Discussion mode.

If there is a single site that is speaking, then the presenting site sees all of the sites and the far sites see the presenter full-screen. This is called Presentation mode. The system takes about 15 seconds to decide whether there is a single presenter before switching to Presentation mode. If, during Presentation mode, one of the far sites interrupts the presenter for several seconds, the system will immediately switch to Discussion mode.
