The image handling process takes a number of seconds (a long time,
relatively) since a full 4CIF image is created while the VCP video card
receives four instances of the same still image and transmits them. The
estimated processing time for an Annex D image is 2 seconds.
When the request to send the Annex D image is received, the Video MCU can
be in one of the following states:
The following operations can be performed during the transmission of Annex
D images:
•Speaker changes, in order to return to the proper image upon the
completion of the Annex D transmission
•Video mute requests from participants
•Add/delete participants by the operator
