Multipoint Viewing Modes
What you see during a multipoint call can vary depending on how the
Polycom HDX system is configured, the number of sites participating, the
number of monitors you are using, and whether content is shared. The
multipoint viewing mode configured on the host system is the one used in the
call. To find out more about these modes, please talk to the administrator of
your Polycom HDX system. The following table describes the different
multipoint viewing modes when an HDX system is hosting the multipoint call.
•If you need to generate touch tones (DTMF tones), touch Keypad from the call
screen. Then use the keypad number buttons.
•SIP calls do not support meeting passwords. SIP endpoints calling into a
multipoint call protected by a password might not be able to join the call.
Setting Description
Video images from multiple sites can be automatically combined on one monitor in
a display known as continuous presence.
Auto The view switches between continuous presence and
full screen, depending on the interaction between the
sites.
If multiple sites are talking at the same time,
continuous presence is used. If one site speaks
uninterrupted for at least 15 seconds, that site appears
in full screen on the monitor.
