Maintenance Manual

Flow control
on video
errors
Enables the MCU to request that the
endpoint send lower speed video if it
fails to receive all the packets which
comprise the far end's video stream.
The MCU can send these messages to endpoints
requesting that the bandwidth of the video that they are
sending be decreased based on the quality of video
received by the MCU.
If there is a bandwidth limitation in the path between
the endpoint and the MCU, it is better for the MCU to
receive every packet of a lower rate stream than to
miss some packets of a higher rate stream.
Note: When an HD-capable MCU is in one of the HD,
HD+, or Full HD modes, this option is automatically
enabled.
On the MCU 4500 Series and the MCU MSE 8510, Flow
control on video errors is enabled in the HD modes but
the control to disable it is deactivated; however, on the
MCU 5300 Series, you can disable Flow control on
video errors when the MCU is in one of the HD modes.
For more information, refer to Configuring media port
settings.
Don't see
yourself in
small panes
Prevents the MCU from showing
conference participants their own video
in small panes of variable-sized pane
views (and in conferences with equal-
sized panes).
If this option is set, then a participant will never appear
in a small pane (self-view), even if there is a free small
pane available. They may still appear in larger panes,
however, for example if the view focus is manually
changed to show their video. See Understanding how
participants display in layout views for more details.
Don't
duplicate in
small panes
Prevents the MCU from duplicating
large-pane participants in small panes.
When using a conference view with some large and
some small panes, the MCU will typically duplicate in a
small pane the video of a participant shown in a large
pane. This is done to minimize the switching of small
panes in response to changes of participant focus in
the large pane. If you would prefer not to duplicate
participants in small panes in this way, select this
option. For more details of view layouts, see
Understanding how participants display in layout views.
Automatically
make content
channel
important
Any new content channel in a
conference will be treated as important
and displayed prominently to all
participants who see the content
channel in their conference layout.
When this setting is enabled, any endpoint successfully
contributing content to a conference is immediately
treated as important. This has the same affect as using
the 'crown' icon in the content channel row of a
conference's Participant list page.
An administrator can remove the importance from the
content channel at any time in the conference.
This setting does not affect participants who view the
content channel independently from their conference
panes (for example, those viewing the content channel
on a separate video screen).
This setting will not affect those participants using
pane placement. Participants using pane placement
who have not allocated a pane to the content channel,
will not see the content channel even if it is 'important'.
