Video switching
(VSW)
In Video Switching mode, all participants see the same
video picture (full screen). The current speaker is
displayed in full screen on all the participants’ endpoints,
while the speaker sees the previous speaker. Switching
between participants is voice-activated; whenever a
participant starts to speak, he or she becomes the
conference speaker and is viewed on all screens.
When selected, the conference is of ultra-high quality
video resolution, in a special conferencing mode which
implies that all participants must connect at the same line
rate and use HD video.
This feature utilizes the resources more wisely and
efficiently by:
• Saving utilization of video ports (1 port per participant
as opposed to 4 ports in CP mode).
• Video display is in full screen mode only.
Drawbacks of this feature are that all participants must
connect at the same line rate, (for example, HD), and all
participants with endpoints not supporting HD will
connect as secondary (audio only).
Video layout changes are not enabled during a
conference.
If HD 1080p is selected, endpoints that do not support
HD 1080p resolution are connected as secondary (audio
only) participants.
Note
Video Switching conferencing mode is unavailable to
ISDN participants.
