Supplemental Conferencing Features

In addition to Standard Conferencing the following features can be enabled:

•H.239 – Allows compliant endpoints to transmit and receive two simultaneous streams of conference data to enable Content sharing. H.239 is also supported in cascading conferences. Both H.263 and H.264 Content sharing protocols are supported. If all endpoints connected to the conference have H.264 capability, Content is shared using H.264, otherwise Content is shared using H.263.

For more information, see "H.239” on page 2-12.

•Lecture Mode – The lecturer is seen by all participants in full screen while the lecturer views all conference participants in the selected video layout.

For more information, see "Lecture Mode” on page 2-23.

•Presentation Mode – When the current speaker’s speech exceeds a predefined time (30 seconds), the conference layout automatically changes to full screen, displaying the current speaker as the conference lecturer on all the participants’ endpoints. During this time the speaker’s endpoint displays the previous conference layout. When another participant starts talking, the Presentation Mode is cancelled and the conference returns to its predefined video layout. Presentation mode is available with Auto Layout and Same Layout.

—If the speaker in a video conference is an Audio Only participant, the Presentation Mode is disabled for that participant.

—Video forcing works in the same way as in Lecture Mode when Presentation Mode is activated, that is, forcing is only enabled at the conference level, and it only applies to the video layout viewed by the lecturer.

•Telepresence Mode - enables the connection of numerous high definition telepresence rooms and of different models (such as TPX and RPX) into one conference maintaining the telepresence experience. This mode is enabled by a special license.

•Encryption – Used to enhance media security at conference and participant levels. For more information, see "Media Encryption” on page 2-30.

•Conference Recording - The RMX enables audio and video recording of conferences using Polycom RSS 2000 recording system.
