Chapter 3-Additional Conferencing Information
— presentation mode
— auto layout
— lecture mode
• The master (center) camera is used for video, audio and content.
• Conference Templates can be used to simplify the setting up Telepresence conferences
where precise participant layout and video forcing settings are crucial. Conference
Templates:
— Save the conference Profile.
— Save all participant parameters including their Personal Layout and Video Forcing
settings.
• An ongoing Telepresence conference can be saved to a Conference Template for later reuse.
For more information see "Conference Templates” on page 10-1.
Room (Participant/Endpoint) Level
• To the RMX, each camera in a Telepresence room is considered to be an endpoint and is
configured as a participant.
• The Telepresence Mode field is always displayed in the New Participant dialog box. If the
system is not licensed for Telepresence this field is automatically set to None.
• Telepresence participants (endpoints) must be specified as:
— RPX – transmitting 4:3 video
or
— TPX – transmitting 16:9 video
Automatic Detection of Immersive Telepresence (ITP) Sites
When the conference Telepresence Mode is set to Auto (Default) ITP endpoints are
automatically detected.
If an ITP endpoint is detected in such conference, ITP features are applied to all endpoints
and the RMX sends conference video with the following options disabled:
• Borders
• Site names
• Speaker indication
• Skins
• Same Layout
• Presentation Mode
• Auto Layout
• Lecture Mode
The ITP features are dynamic, and if all ITP endpoints disconnect from the conference,
normal conference video is resumed for the remaining all participants. ITP features are reapplied
to all participants should an ITP endpoint re-connects to that conference.
