Conference Template Configuration
The Conference Templates are found in the MCU Configuration tab.
The predefined settings will be used as default settings when creating
new conferences based on this specific template. TANDBERG MPS
enables the setup of 10 different conference templates.
The conference template contains the same settings as de-
scribed in the
in the Overview section.
Conference Template Configuration
CP Autoswitching
The CP Autoswitching enables to swap non speaking sites with the
least active sites in the picture. This lets you see all participants in a
conference, even if they are not speaking.
CP Autoswitching can be set to a value between
0
seconds
(default)
and
60 seconds
. The number of seconds denotes how long each of
the remaining participants shall be displayed on the screen.
If set to
0
seconds
the CP Autoswitching will be disabled.
Note that the CP Autoswitching will be performed in another picture if
one or more of the participants speak.
Video Custom Formats
On:
Set to On to support custom formats, such as SIF and
VGA resolutions. It allows true resolution to be maintained,
rather than being scaled to another format. This is of particu-
lar benefit to users of NTSC and VGA resolutions, ensuring
that their images are not scaled to fit with the PAL standard.
Off:
Set to Off when support for custom formats are not
needed.
Video Format
Defines the video format for Continuous Presence mode.
In Full Screen Voice Switched Conference layout, the MCU will priori-
tize H.264 CIF as the highest common format.
Auto
(Best Impression
TF
) Set to Auto to automatically select the most
suitable video format depending on the Conference Layout used in
the conference. In Full Screen Voice Switched, the MCU will select
Motion (CIF) displaying up to 30 frames per second (fps). In Continu-
ous Presence mode the MCU will select Motion (CIF) if the call rate is
below 256 kbps and Sharpness (4CIF) when the call rate is 256 kbps
or higher.
Motion:
Set to Motion to prioritize motion and show up to 30 fps in
CIF resolution and transmit the highest common format, preferably
H.264 CIF.
Sharpness:
Set to Sharpness to prioritize crisp and clear picture and
transmit the highest common format, preferably H.263+ 4CIF.

Video Format
Defines the video format for Continuous Presence (CP) mode.
Auto
(Best Impression
TF
) In Continuous Presence mode the MPS will
select Motion (CIF) if the call rate is below 256 kbps and sending
4:3 aspect ratio. When sending 16:9 aspect ratio the MPS will select
Motion (w288p) if the call rate is below 512 kbps. At call rates of 256
kbps and higher the MPS will select Sharpness (4CIF) when sending
4:3 aspect ratio. When sending 16:9 aspect ratio the MPS will select
Sharpness (w576p) at call rates of 512 kbps and higher.
Motion:
Set to Motion to prioritize motion and show up to 30 fps in CIF resolution
and transmit the highest common format, preferably H.264 CIF when sending 4:3
aspect ratio or H.263+ w288p when sending 16:9 aspect ratio.
Sharpness:
Set to Sharpness to prioritize crisp and clear picture and transmit the
highest common format, preferably H.263+ 4CIF when sending 4:3 aspect ratio or
H.263+ w576p when sending 16:9 aspect ratio.
In Full Screen Voice Switched Conference layout, the MCU will prioritize H.264 CIF as
the highest common format.
