Layout tab to select the appropriate video layout.
Video Session
(cont.) • Quad Views - The Quad Views mode requires
the Video+ card. It includes layouts for large
video conferences. This mode should be
selected when the conference includes 10 par tic
pants or more.
• Software - Software Continuous Presence is
implemented in IP networks only and is a
software solution that resembles the Continuous
Presence feature in terms of functionality, without
using video card resources. Software CP
combines four incoming QCIF streams with fixed
video bitrate from four different participants into
one outgoing CIF stream.
In Software CP conferences only two types of
Video Layout formats are available: 2x1 and 2x2.
If the conference includes less than 5
participants, one of the participant's layout
windows is grayed out.
