The Continuous Presence Quad Views mode offers three additional window
layouts for larger conferences with more than 10 participants, for example:
4x4, 2+8, 1+12. Figure 2-5 shows these layouts.

For conferences with more participants than display windows, the MGC's
dynamic video mix capability allows the site mix (which sites can be seen) to
be modified throughout the conference. The video layout can be defined
during conference definition (reservation stage) or changed during an On
Going Conference, allowing participants to view different screen layouts of
other conference participants. These layout options provide greater flexibility
when displaying a large number of participants and help maximize the
effectiveness of the video conference.
When Continuous Presence Classic or Quad Views conferences are set to
Auto Layout, the MGC system automatically selects the conference layout
based on the number of currently connected participants in the conference.
In addition, when video participants are connected or disconnected, the
conference video layout automatically adjusts to reflect the changed number
of participants. The selected video layout is not affected by the Audio Only
participants, when they connect or disconnect to or from the conference.
The Continuous Presence - Software (Software CP) is a software solution for
IP only conferences that resembles Continuous Presence but saves video card
resources. In Software CP, only two types of video layouts are available: 2x1
and 2x2, and the Lecture Mode options are disabled.
For system requirements and a detailed description of this feature, refer to the
MGC Manager User’s Guide Volume II, Chapter 1, “Advanced Conference
Settings”.
