• Discussion Mode. In Discussion mode, all of the sites can see everyone in
the meeting at the same time. This feature is sometimes referred to as
continuous presence or Hollywood Squares
. If you are using a
single-monitor system, the monitor screen will display three or four
windows, depending on whether you are in a three- or four-way call.
If you are using a dual-monitor system in a four-way call, the near-site will
appear in the second television monitor and the far-sites will appear as
pictures in a three- or four-window display. If you are using a dual-monitor
system in a three-way call, each far-site will appear full-screen on each
monitor and the near-site will be in the picture-in-picture on the main
monitor.
• Presentation Mode. In Presentation mode (also called voice-activated
switching), the person who is speaking will appear full-screen to the far-
sites. If you are using a single-monitor system, the speaker or presenter will
appear full-screen on your monitor. Your picture will automatically appear
in a small picture-in-picture when you raise your remote control. If you are
using a dual-monitor system, the speaker will appear in the main monitor
and the other parties will appear in a quadrant on the second monitor.
NOTE: You will see yourself as one of the sites. Your picture will
be slightly delayed if you are one of the far-sites in a
multi-point call. This is normal. The far-sites will hear your
voice synchronized with your motion.
