Mode Commands/Communication Modes.
This is a collection of incoming and
outgoing bandwidth allocations for the multiplex. The Incoming data is the rate at
which the MCU thinks the endpoint is communicating based on the Bit-rate
Allocation Signal (BAS) codes received from the endpoint/codec and the
capabilities the MCU has declared. The Outgoing data is the rate from the MCU
toward the endpoint. The following are column definitions for this section of
page 3.
Field descriptions
Return Vid
The endpoint number that is the current return video. The return video
is qualified with the following keywords:
“blank” = VAS, Chair action, UCC action, or endpoint MCV requests
force the previous broadcaster to be the return video. The broadcaster
qualifier identifies the action that forced this endpoint to become return
video.
“Autoscan” = Auto scan return video, when conference mode
broadcasts with auto scan.
“Browse” = The UCC designates the return video with the Browse
feature.
