About 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, and whether content is shared. The multipoint viewing mode configured on the host system is the one used in the call. The following table describes the different multipoint viewing modes.

Setting	Description

Auto	Allow the system to switch between Discussion and
	Presentation modes, based on the interaction between the
	sites.
	If more than one site is talking at the same time, the
	system uses Discussion mode so that all speakers can be
	seen.
	If one speaker talks without interruption for about 15
	seconds, the system uses Presentation mode so that all
	participants can see the speaker in a larger picture.

Discussion	View all of the sites at the same time, including your own site.
	This is also known as continuous presence.
	Systems with:	See this:
	Single monitor	All sites, each in its own window
	Dual monitors	Speaker on second monitor with other
		sites on first monitor, or one far site on
		each monitor

Presentation	View the person who is speaking. This is also known as voice
	activated switching.
	The current speaker always sees up to four far sites, each in its
	own window, on the first monitor.
	Systems with:	See this:
	Single monitor	Speaker in full screen
	Dual monitors	Speaker on the first monitor and near site
		on the second monitor
