Video Session
(cont.) If the number of participants is less than or equal to
the number of participants displayed, each
participant can see all of the other participants.
When selecting Continuous Presence the following
layout options are available:
• Classic
• Quad Views
• Software
Classic - Classic Continuous Presence used the
standard Video card. 21 video layouts are available
in this mode.
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.
