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
page2-30.
•Conference Recording - The RMX enables audio and video recording
of conferences using Polycom RSS2000 recording system.
