Chapter 4 - Setting Up Conferences
4-26
Conference On Port setting is suitable for large Continuous Presence
conferences (up to 128 participants for a single video card) for which you do
not have enough available video resources or if several Continuous Presence
conferences are running on the MCU at the same time and you do not have
enough video resources to run all of them simultaneously.
Dual Stream Mode
In this mode, the endpoint sends two separate video streams: video and data.
The video streams are treated differently by the endpoint, and may be shown
on separate screens. Depending on the endpoints that send and receive the
video streams, the following dual stream modes are available:
•H.239/People+Content
•People and Content V0
•Polycom Visual Concert (PC/FX)
•Duo Video
For a detailed description of Dual Stream Mode video conferences, see the
MGC Manager User’s Guide, Volume II, Chapter 1, “Advanced Conference
Settings”.
Lecture Mode
Lecture Mode allows you to designate one participant as the lecturer. The
lecturer is the only one seen by all the other participants throughout the
conference, in full screen. Lecture Mode enables automatic switching
between the conference participants in the speaker window, allowing the
conference speaker to see all the other conference participants (one
participant after the other or all of them in a Continuous Presence layout).
For a detailed description of Lecture options that can be set in a video
conference, see Chapter 10, “Lecture and Presentation Options”.
