About Screen Layout

Auto Layout

The layout of the screen can either be shown as Picture In Picture (PIP) or Picture Outside Picture (POP) when displaying more than one video image. For widescreen moni- tors, POP is recommended. The behavior of the Layout key depends on the Picture Layout setting in Control Panel > Screen Settings.

When Picture Layout is set to PIP, the Layout key makes it possible to see a second image in a smaller view in one of the corners of the screen. The second image will be placed on top of the main image. You are free to choose in which corner the second image is to be displayed.

Picture-in-Picture

When Picture Layout is set to POP, the Layout key makes it possible to see up to three images in a composition optimized for wide screens. The second image can be displayed either as

aside-by-side the main image (1+1) or smaller images next to the main image (1+2 and 1+3).

Press the Layout button once to get side- by-side view (1+1). Press again to get the layouts 1+2 and 1+3, and finally go back to full screen view. You can also go back to full screen directly by pressing and holding Layout for 1 second.

Picture-outside-Picture

The system will automatically choose the best layout for your call. You can, however, always change layout manually with the Layout key. Auto Layout applies when you open or close a dual video stream, or add or disconnect participants.

Auto Layout also includes automatic PIP. That implies that PIP will be shown when suitable, e.g. to display selfview when you move your near end camera. The automatic PIP times out after a couple of seconds.

Off means no automatic layout changes during a call – you must manually control the images with the Layout key. Auto Layout is default On. To turn Auto Layout Off, go to Control Panel > Screen Settings.

Using the Remote Control to Determine the Screen Layout

Note! Depending on the number of partici- pants in your video meeting and whether you use a dual video stream or not, some of the locations of the screen layouts may be empty. The actual positioning of each picture as you press the Layout key, may vary from the above examples.
