Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Video Switching

When selected, the conference is of ultra-high quality video

 

 

 

resolution, in a special conferencing mode which implies that all

 

 

 

participants must connect at the same line rate and use HD video.

 

 

 

This feature utilizes the resources more wisely and efficiently by:

 

 

 

Saving utilization of video ports (1 port per participant as opposed

 

 

 

 

to 4 ports in CP mode).

 

 

 

Video display is in full screen mode only.

 

 

 

Drawbacks of this feature are that all participants must connect at the

 

 

 

same line rate, (e.g. HD) and all participants with endpoints not

 

 

 

supporting HD will connect as secondary (audio only).

 

 

 

Video layout changes are not enabled during a conference.

 

 

 

Video Switching supports the following resolutions:

 

 

 

MPM:

 

 

 

 

HD 720P

 

 

 

MPM+:

 

 

 

 

HD 1080p

 

 

 

MPMx:

 

 

 

 

1080p60

 

 

 

 

720p30

 

 

 

 

720p60

 

 

 

 

SD30

 

 

 

If HD 1080p is selected, endpoints that do not support HD 1080p

 

 

 

resolution are connected as Secondary (Audio Only) participants.

 

 

 

Note: Video Switching conferencing mode is unavailable to ISDN

 

 

 

participants.
