The video mode determines the initial layout on an

 

endpoint’s display during a multipoint conference. This

 

option requires an MCU.

 

 

This option is not available for RMX devices if you select

 

any of the following:

 

 

• Auto layout option (RMX Video Settings)

 

• Video switching option (RMX General Settings)

Note

 

Make sure you have defined video endpoint systems and

 

boards so that they are available for selection in continuous

 

presence layouts.

 

 

 

Presentation Mode

Select to enable Presentation Mode. In this mode, the

 

 

system uses the selected layout to display all

 

 

participants. When a participant’s speech exceeds a

 

 

predefined time (30 seconds), the system identifies the

 

 

participant as the lecturer and changes to Lecture

 

 

Mode. The video mode for the other participant’s

 

 

automatically changes to full screen, displaying the

 

 

lecturer, while the lecturer’s endpoint displays

 

 

participants in the video mode defined previously. When

 

 

another participant starts talking, the system changes

 

 

back to Presentation Mode and the conference returns

 

 

to its predefined video layout.

 

Clear this option do disable Presentation Mode. All

 

 

participants see the conference in the video mode

 

 

defined elsewhere.

 

This option is not available if you select any of the following:

 

Video switching option (RMX General Settings)

 

Same layout option (RMX Video Settings)

 

Telepresence mode is On (RMX Video Settings)
