Setting Conferences for Telepresence Mode (AVC CP)

Enabling Telepresence Mode

Telepresence Mode must be configured in a new or existing Conference Profile.

To enable Telepresence in a new or existing Conference Profile:

1In the RMX Management pane, click Conference Profiles.

2Click the New Profiles button or open an existing Conference Profile.

3Define the various profile General, Advanced, Gathering Settings and Video Quality parameters. For more information on defining Profiles, see Defining New Profiles.

4Click the Video Settings tab.

5In the Telepresence Mode field, select one of the following options:

OFF - When OFF is selected, normal conference video is sent by the Collaboration Server.

AUTO (Default) - The ITP features are dynamic. When AUTO is selected and an ITP endpoint is detected, ITP features are applied to the conference video for all participants. If all ITP endpoints disconnect from the conference, normal conference video is resumed for all remaining participants. ITP features are re-applied for all participants should an ITP endpoint re-connect to the conference.

When Telepresence Mode is set to Auto and a one-screen Telepresence unit is in use, the Collaboration Server controls layouts instead of the MLA. For more information see Polycom Multipoint Layout Application (MLA) User’s Guide for Use with Polycom Telepresence Solutions.

ON - ITP features are always applied to the conference video for all participants regardless of whether there are ITP endpoints connected or not.
