People+Content

The Polycom People+Content (P+C) standard, implemented on the
ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, VS4000, MGC 5.0, iPower 5.0, and
PathNavigator products, allows live video and live graphics to be
transmitted and received with all the above-listed Polycom
products.

In a multipoint videoconference, all endpoints see the same content
video, and the people video can be displayed in either discussion or
voice-switched mode, depending on the MCU settings.

If all endpoints (ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, VS4000, or
iPower) to which your system is connected support P+C, then the
systems automatically enable this feature. The MGC has to be
manually configured prior to the start of a conference to support this
new standard.

Compatibility

Radvision Onlan and ECS gatekeepers do not support
People+Content in routed mode.

The People+Content format is not

supported through the Radvision Onlan 2.2 and the Radvision ECS
2.02 gatekeepers if the gatekeeper is set for routed mode. The
People+Content format functions in direct mode.

People+Content and PathNavigator compatibility.

ViewStation EX

systems with version 5.0 can only send the previous version of dual
streams to another ViewStation EX, FX, or VS4000 system with
version 5.0 when registered with PathNavigator 1.10. ViewStation
EX systems 5.0 cannot send dual streams to an iPower version 5.0
when registered to PathNavigator version 1.10. ViewStation EX, FX,
and VS4000 systems send the new People+Content format to other
ViewStation EX, FX, VS4000, or iPower systems if they are registered
to PathNavigator 5.0.
