Depending on the user's selection in People Video Definition, the profile can be
defined as two types of conference modes: the Continuous Presence (CP)
conference and the video switching conference.
• CP conference: The endpoint screen can simultaneously display the
images of multiple sites. A user can also choose a preferred screen
layout. However, this mode occupies more MCU video resources.
• Video switching conference: The system only forwards the video
stream without encoding or decoding. Therefore, this mode does not
utilize the MCU video resources, and more conferences can be held. In
the video switching conference, all the participants' endpoints use the
same bandwidth and video capability, and can only display one site at a
time. A user can use the voice activation feature to switch to see each
conference site. The maximum number of video switching conferences
supported by the system is equal to the number of participant
connection resources available and is not related to the video capability
of an endpoint. The video switching conference has the following
limitations:
― Only one type of conference screen layout is supported
― Only the lecture mode is supported.
― Settings for the conference skin and Message Overlay are not
available.
― Site name setting during a conference is not allowed.
― The PCM menu is not available.
