About Multipoint Viewing Modes
What you see during a multipoint call can vary depending on how the
Polycom HDX system is configured, the number of sites participating, the
number of monitors you are using, and whether content is shared. The
multipoint viewing mode configured on the host system is the one used in the
call. To find out more about these modes, please talk to the administrator of
your Polycom HDX system. The following table describes the different
multipoint viewing modes.
If you need to generate touch tones (DTMF tones), press on the remote
control, or press and choose Touch Tones. Then use the remote control
number buttons.
Setting Description
Video images from multiple sites can be automatically combined on one screen in a
display know as continuous presence.
Auto The view switches between continuous presence and
full screen, depending on the interaction between the
sites.
If multiple sites are talking at the same time,
continuous presence is used. If one site speaks
uninterrupted for at least 15 seconds, that site appears
in full screen.
Discussion Multiple sites are displayed in continuous presence.
The current speaker’s image is highlighted.
