CP Autoswitching
The CP Autoswitching enables you 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 the least
active sub 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 anoth-
er format. This is of particular 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 (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.
