Using the Display Control

During a multipoint videoconference with the MCU software installed in the communication Terminal you can control the following operations.

What is “Broadcast Mode”?

You can use the “Split”, “Split (Fixed)”, “Voice Activate” and “Broadcast” modes.

Split mode

This mode allows display of the pictures from the connected remote terminals and the picture of the local terminal by splitting the monitor screen. According to the connected terminals, four-split windows (1 to 3 terminals connected) or six-split windows (4 and 5 terminals connected) are displayed. Pictures A to C (or A to E) appear in order of connecting.

Notes

When the six-split window is displayed, the System detects the terminal including the loudest sound among all the terminals and the picture of that terminal is replaced with the picture in the lower right window.

If you switch the broadcast mode from Split mode to Voice Activate mode in which a picture of a specified terminal is shown in full screen during communication, the location of Pictures A to E will be changed when the Split mode is restored.

When your system is in the Split or Split (Fixed) mode, you cannot control the camera on any connected remote terminals.
