Content
contribution
from
endpoints
Whether, by default, endpoints are permitted to
contribute the content channel for a conference
through the mechanism of opening a content video
channel.
There can only be one endpoint contributing content
video at any one time, and the MCU arbitrates
between them. Therefore, even with this parameter
set to Enabled, the ability of the endpoint to
contribute content video will be affected by other
endpoints' behavior.
If this setting is Disabled, it is still possible
to enable content contribution on a per-
endpoint basis when the conference is
active. Similarly, it is possible to disable
content contribution from specific
endpoints, either while they are
connected or via their configuration. For
more information about endpoint
configuration, refer to Configuring H.323
endpoints and/or Configuring SIP
endpoints.
This setting only applies to scheduled
conferences. For ad hoc conferences,
whether or not endpoints are allowed to
contribute content is controlled by the
Content contribution from endpoints
setting in the ad hoc conference template.
To use content, it must be enabled unit-
wide/blade-wide on the Settings >
Content page. See Configuring content
settings for additional information on
MCU-wide content configuration
parameters.
Outgoing
transcoded
resolutions
Choose the resolution for the content channel that
will be transmitted to endpoints in this conference:
■ 4:3 resolutions only: the MCU will encode the
content and transmit it in a resolution of ratio
4:3
■ 16:9 resolutions only: the MCU will encode
the content and transmit it in a resolution of
ratio 16:9
■ Allow all resolutions: the MCU will decide on
the most optimal resolution depending on
information about capabilities sent by the
endpoints in the conference
For ad hoc conferences, transmitted
content resolution is controlled by the ad
hoc conference template.
