Multi-Point Viewing Modes
You can select four different viewing modes for the multiple sites in
a multi-point call:
• Automatic (Auto)
• Discussion
• Presentation
• Full Screen
The default viewing mode is Automatic (Auto), which automatically
switches between Discussion and Presentation modes, depending
on the conversational style of the multi-point call. Below is a
description of each mode:
Auto: In Auto mode, the ViewStation determines the optimal viewing
mode based on the interaction between the sites in the video call. If
more than one site is talking at the same time, the ViewStation uses
Discussion mode. If one site is talking uninterrupted, the ViewStation
uses Presentation mode. The ViewStation takes about 15 seconds
to decide whether there is a single presenter before it switches to
Presentation mode. If one of the far sites interrupts the presenter for
several seconds during Presentation mode, the ViewStation
immediately switches to Discussion mode.
