New features introduced in 4.0(1.57)
Cisco TelePresence Server Software Release Notes (4.0(2.8)) Page 8 of 36
Figure 5: PiP strip showing the active speaker's place (gap)
The active speaker gap applies only to the ActivePresence layout. It is also not available on multiscreen
endpoints that are in room-switched display mode.
Note: Future improvements to the PiP strip feature may include reducing the maximum number of PiPs and
increasing their size, to make the feature more consistent across endpoints and to allow for better recognition
of changes to facial expression. We cannot guarantee that this feature will remain as it is in the current
release.
The name labels have been restyled and are now displayed below the participants. They are available in all
layouts but are off by default.
Figure 6: ActivePresence layout showing name labels
The Cisco TelePresence Conductor XC2.3 user interface does not have a direct method for controlling the
display of the name labels. You can toggle them using the displayShowEndpointNames call attribute in
the template's advanced parameters section. For example, add the custom parameter
{"callAttributes":{"displayShowEndpointNames":true}}. See the Cisco TelePresence
Conductor's help for more details of editing templates.
*6 mute control
Users are now able to mute or unmute themselves using the *6 combination on a DTMF keypad.
This new mute/unmute control complements the ability to mute a participant from the TelePresence Server
end. The feature is particularly important for usability of endpoints that can be muted by means that they don't
support.
