Description

 

 

Dual Stream Mode

In this mode, one of the endpoints sends two video

 

streams: Video and data. The video streams are

 

handled differently by the receiving endpoint. The

 

different streams may be shown on separate

 

screens.

 

Select one of the following options:

 

None - The Dual Video mode is unavailable. In

 

such a case Video Protocol is set to Auto.

 

H.239 and People+Content - H.239 and

 

People+Content are very similar in function, but

 

differ in the type of signaling used for each

 

protocol. People+Content is the Polycom

 

proprietary protocol while H.239 is the industry

 

standard. When an endpoint can support both

 

H.239 and People+Content protocols, H.239 is

 

selected as the preferred communications

 

protocol.

 

In the Reservation Template Settings - Dual

 

Stream mode drop down box, three H.239

 

People+Content (H.239/P+C) Video streaming

 

formats are available:

 

Graphics - for standard graphics

 

Hi-res Graphics - for high quality display or highly

 

detailed graphics

 

Live Video - for video clips or live video display

 

128 Kbps is the minimum Line Rate setting for a

 

H.239/People+Content conference. When the

 

Content channel opens, the required bit rate is

 

taken from the video channel bit rate, and may

 

affect the quality of the transmitted video quality.

 

The bit rate allocated to the Content channel

 

depends on the conference type and the

 

conference line rate, where the minimum is

 

64 Kbps, and increases in multiple of 64 Kbps. The

 

bite rate allocation is dynamic and when the

 

Content channel closes, the video bit rate is

 

restored to its maximum.

 

People+Content in a Cascading conference is

 

enabled only for Video Switching IP Only

 

conferences, in a Star Cascaded topology.
