Description
This command sets the multipoint conference mode for the system
in a multipoint call. The multipoint mode can be set to auto,
discussion, presentation, or fullscreen. By default, it is set to
auto.
auto In Auto mode, the system determines the optimal
viewing mode based on the interaction between the
sites.
presentationIn Presentation mode (also called voice-activated
switching), the person who is speaking appears full
screen to the far sites.
discussion 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 Mode. You see
yourself as one of the sites.
fullscreen In Full Screen mode, every site in the call sees the
speaker full screen.
get Displays the current setting for this option.
Note ViewStation EX: this multipoint option is not available unless
you update your ViewStation EX system to support
multipoint capabilities. For more information, refer to the
ViewStation EX User Guide.
