		multipoint call with two TPX HD 306M sites and one RPX HD 200 Series site. The left
		and center displays show the TPX HD 306M sites; the right display shows the RPX
		HD 200 site.

Because different types of video conferencing systems use different aspect ratios for their video images, the OTX automatically adjusts the video for your displays. Most systems use either 4:3 aspect ratio (such as the RPX HD solutions) or 16:9 aspect ratio (such as the OTX and TPX solutions).

For example, if you call a Polycom OTX room from an RPX HD 200 Series suite, the image on the displays in the RPX suite adjusts for the 16:9 OTX room. Therefore, this is what you can expect to see on the displays in the RPX suite:
