Table 2: New feature support by TelePresence Server platform (continued)

* This feature is controlled via the API but it is not supported by Cisco TelePresence Conductor XC2.3.

User experience improvements

Segment-switched display of telepresence rooms

In remotely managed mode, and on Media 310/320 and Virtual Machine, the display switching behavior is

configurable via the API and is supported by TelePresence Conductor XC2.3.

In locally managed mode, the display switching mode can be changed via the TelePresence Server web

interface.

On Cisco CTS or TX Series endpoints, you can change between room switching and segment switching via

the touch controller .

The TelePresence Server now defaults to 'segment-switched' mode (may also be called 'panel-switched') for

displaying speakers from telepresence rooms. In this mode, the TelePresence Server independently

switches the display of individual cameras from a multiple camera system.

This is a change in display switching behavior; previously, the TelePresence Server would simultaneously

switch all of the streams from that room into the display on another multiscreen endpoint. The older behavior

is now called 'room-switched' mode.

In room-switched mode, when the loudest speaker is someone from a multiple camera system, the

TelePresence Server displays, where possible, the whole room as the loudest speaker (all cameras). That is,

all streams from the room's cameras are shown on multiscreen endpoints (if they have enough screens). If
