Please Note: The Conference Server and the Video Conferencing are optional features and can be activated with a feature key from the Features
page.
Conference users with video will be able to see the current speaker and either manually or automatically switch between participants. This gives the
user power over which person they get to view or allows the video conference server to rotate the video feed to the person currently speaking.
After activating Video Conferencing feature from the “features.cgi” GUI page, the video codecs will be available on the Quadro’s “Conference
Codecs” GUI page.
Please Note: Administrator should enable only one codec at a time, either H.263 or H.264.
Video Conferencing provides possibility to view particular participant based on switching modes.
In general there are two switching modes for each phone:
• Manual -
allows participant to switch between video capable participants manually, by dialing  or , a participant will see
the next or previous participant who has video capability enabled. In the context of manual switching “next” and “previous” means the order
of entrance to the conference bridge, so the first caller will be the first video- capable participant connected to conference.
• Automatic – In this mode the Epygi Quadro determines the speaker (or loudest participant), and will automatically switch the video stream to
show that speaker. As a result all the video phones, which are in automatic mode, will see the speaking participant. If participant does not
have a video phone, then the other participants will see a black screen.
Please Note: Users can switch between manual and automatic mode by using
/ and .
By default, Automatic Speaker Detection is switched off. From the General settings (conferencegeneral.cgi) GUI page administrator can enable or
disable the default mode for video conferencing (see
Automatic Speaker Detection).
Conferences Management
The Conference page displays a table with the existing conferences on the system. This page allows you to create new conferences and manage
the existing ones.
The following columns are present in the Conferences table:
• Conference ID - indicates the unique ID of the conference. This number is used from Auto Attendant to reach the conference. The Conference
ID is also used as the username for the moderator when logging into the Quadro.
• Display Name – any optional information about the conference.
• Description – any descriptive information about the conference.
• SIP Address - displays the SIP address of the conference.
• Status - indicates the status of the conference (Active, Non Active or Waiting). Clicking on the conference status link will display the Conference
Progress page with detailed information about the conference status, participants in the conference and description of each participant. This
