This setting is recommended for MCUs running Telepresence conferences.

For more information, see the RMX 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide, “System Configuration” on page 18-5.

Transparent Endpoint Names

Endpoint name backgrounds are 50% transparent, and while maintaining contrast, do not completely obscure the overlaid video.

The Endpoint Name Transparency feature can be disabled by adding a new flag to the System Configuration and setting its value to NO as follows:

SITE_NAME_TRANSPARENCY=NO.

For more information, see the RMX 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide, “System Configuration” on page 18-5.

Permanent Display of Endpoint Names

Endpoint Names can be permanently displayed by adding a new flag to the System Configuration and setting its value to YES as follows: SITE_NAMES_ALWAYS_ON =YES.

For more information, see the RMX 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide, “System Configuration” on page 18-5.

Closed Caption

When enabled, IP endpoints that support FECC (Far End Camera Control) can also be configured to provide real-time text transcriptions or language translations of the video conference by displaying closed captions.

The captions for a conference may be provided by the captioner who is present in the conference, or the captioner may use a telephone or web browser to listen to the conference audio.

When the captioner sends a unit of text, all conference participants see it on the main monitor for 15 seconds. The text then disappears automatically.

Endpoint Name display is not affected by Closed Captions display.

For more information, see the RMX 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide, "Closed Captions” on page 2-44.

Closed Captions option is enabled by a system flag in the system configuration. For more details about system flags, see the RMX 1500/ 2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide, "System Configuration” on page 18-5.
