These buttons control whether the MCU

alters the aspect ratio of the layout sent to

the active participant. If the controls are

available, you can force the MCU to

compose the layout in a 4:3 aspect ratio

(Send "normal" format video) or in a 16:9

aspect ratio (Send "widescreen" format

video).

The available options for the resolution of transmitted

video are controlled by the Transmitted video

resolutions setting which can be configured for the

whole MCU on the Settings > Conferences page or

per configured endpoint (refer to Configuring an

H.323 endpoint and/or Configuring a SIP endpoint).

The widescreen setting on the active participant's

display tab takes precedence over the preconfigured

widescreen setting for the endpoint, which in turn

takes precedence over the MCU-wide setting.

These buttons control whether the active

participant is allowed to contribute content

to the conference.

Content contribution can also be defined in the

conference template, the conference, or the

endpoint's configuration. The setting on the active

participant's display tab takes precedence over the

endpoint configuration, which in turn takes

precedence over the conference configuration. For

more information, see Content per-participant

parameters.

These buttons control whether the video

sent to the participant is stopped. If the

video is stopped, the participant will not see

the conference layout, but will still be able

to hear the conference and can still

contribute audio, video, and content to the

conference.

Focused participant

Select which participant receives the focus

on this participant's layout.

Depending on the types of participant in the

conference (i.e. content channel, endpoint, audio-

only participant), you can select from these options:

■ Voice-switched: the loudest participant

occupies the largest pane in the layout (the

default setting)

■ Content channel: the content channel

occupies the largest pane in the layout

■ <participant name>: you select a participant

by name and then that participant occupies

the largest pane in the layout

This setting will be overridden if a participant is

identified as "important" on the Conference

Participants List (see Viewing the conference

participants list).
