Switched video
Switching is the process of redirecting video as-is without transcoding, so you see only one endpoint's
image at a time, usually the active speaker, without any video layouts or continuous presence (CP).
Using video switching increases the port capacity of the MCU by four times.
Important:
Use switched video only when all endpoints participating in the videoconference support the same
resolution. If a network experiences high packet loss, switched video might not be displayed properly
for all endpoints in the videoconference.
SXGA
SXGA defines a video resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels.
Telepresence
A telepresence system combines of two or more endpoints together to create a wider image, simulating
the experience of participants being present in the same room. For example, Scopia XT Telepresence.
TLS
TLS enables network devices to communicate securely by exchanging certificates, to provide
authentication of the devices and encryption of the communication between them.
Transcoding
Transcoding is the process of converting video into different sizes, resolutions or formats. This enables
multiple video streams to be combined into one view, enabling continuous presence, as in a typical
videoconferencing window.
UC (Unified Communications)
UC, or unified communications deployments offer solutions covering a wide range of communication
channels. These include audio (voice), video, text (IM or chat), data sharing (presentations), whiteboard
sharing (interactive annotations on shared data).
URI
URI is an address format to locate a device on a network. For a SIP call, the URI consists of the
endpoint's name or number, followed by the SIP server domain name. For example,
<endpoint
name>@<SIP server domain name>
or
user@domain_name.com
.
