Chapter 4-Additional Conferencing Information

YES - only the designated Lecturer can be the Content Token holder.

The Exclusive Content Mode check box replaces the EXCLUSIVE_CONTENT_ MODE System Flag which was used to control Exclusive Content Mode for the system in previous versions.

In Exclusive Content Mode, if an endpoint attempts to send Content a few seconds after another endpoint sent Content, the Content stream it is receiving is momentarily interrupted by a slide which is displayed for a few seconds before the normal Content stream is resumed.

Stopping a Content Session

In some cases, when one participant ends the Content session from his/her endpoint, the Content token is not released and other participants cannot send Content.

The RMX User can withdraw the Content token from the current holder and to return it to the MCU for assignment to other endpoints.

To end the current Content session:

>>In the Conferences list pane, right-click the conference icon and then click Abort H.239 Session.

Content Broadcast Control

Content Broadcast Control prevents the accidental interruption or termination of H.239 Content that is being shared in a conference.

Content Broadcast Control achieves this by giving Content Token ownership to a specific endpoint via the RMX Web Client. Other endpoints are not able to send content until Content Token ownership has been transferred to another endpoint via the RMX Web Client.

Guidelines

Content Broadcast Control is supported in MPM+ and MPMx card configuration modes.

Content Broadcast Control is supported in CP and Video Switching conferences.

Content Broadcast Control is supported in H.323 environments.

Only the selected Content Token owner may send content and Content Token requests from other endpoints are rejected.

Content Token ownership is valid until:

It is canceled by the RMX User via the RMX Web Client.

The owner releases it.

The endpoint of the Content Token owner disconnects from the conference.

The RMX User can cancel Content Token ownership.
