Video Session | Continuous Presence (CP) - A Continuous | |
(con’t) | Presence conference is a conference in which | |
| several participants can be viewed simultaneously. | |
| Each participant uses their own endpoint’s | |
| capabilities, thus maintaining the highest video, | |
| audio and data capability that can be achieved. If | |
| the number of participants is less than or equal to | |
| the number of participants displayed, each | |
| participant can see all of the other participants. | |
| When selecting Continuous Presence the | |
| following layout options are available: | |
| • | Classic |
| • | Quad Views |
| • | Software |
Classic - Classic Continuous Presence used the standard Video card. 21 video layouts are available in this mode.
Quad Views - The Quad Views mode requires the Video+ card. It includes layouts for large video conferences. This mode should be selected when the conference includes 10 par tic pants or more. Software - Software Continuous Presence is implemented in IP networks only and is a software solution that resembles the Continuous Presence feature in terms of functionality, without using video card resources. Software CP combines four incoming QCIF streams with fixed video bitrate from four different participants into one outgoing CIF stream. In Software CP conferences only two types of Video Layout formats are available: 2x1 and 2x2. If the conference includes less than 5 participants, one of the participant's layout windows is grayed out.
