A MultiSite™ conference with four participant locations
discussing contents from two sources—a document
camera and a PC.
At the host site (the local site), each remote location is
displayed on a separate monitor.
To ensure perfect eye contact, each monitor is equipped
with a camera on top. These three cameras each capture
their own image of the local room. Basically the same
image, but from slightly different angles for proper eye
contact for each remote participant.
The image captured by Camera 1 is transmitted to the
location displayed on Monitor 1, the Camera 2 image is
transmitted to the location displayed on Monitor 2, and the
Camera 3 image is transmitted to the location displayed
on Monitor 3.
The content sources are displayed on the presentation
screen at the local site and also sent to the remote
participants (the drawing captured by the document
camera is the one displayed in full view, with the PC
content shown in a PIP in the upper right corner).
Each remote location receives a unique image. This
removes the distracting selfview and furthermore it allows
adjustments of the image layout in order to better comply
with the capabilities of the receiving systems.
The New York based person participates from a system
not supporting dual stream, hence the content is
displayed in the main video stream layout.
In addition to content, New York sees the local room as
captured by the camera on top of the ”New York” monitor
(Camera 1) as well as Sydney and London.
Sydney sees the “local” room as captured by the camera
on top of the ”Sydney” monitor (Camera 2) as well as
New York and London in addition to having the content
sources displayed on a separate presentation display.
London sees the local room as captured by the camera
on top of the ”London” monitor (Camera 3) as well as
New York and Sydney. The content sources and other
location views are being displayed on a side-by-side
layout on a single monitor system.

• Remote participants displayed full size on individual
monitors on local site.
