Output Layout
The Output Layout determines the way in which
conferences are streamed and played back.
Available options include:
Two Videos—creates a video for the Main source
and one for the Dual Source (VCR, Document
Camera etc) for viewing in the Viewer. If Dual
is not activated during the call, then only the
Main Video will be available for On Demand
playback. A dual stream will be displayed for Live
conferences whether it is turned on or not.
Joined—creates one video output consisting
of the main source on the left and the dual to
the right joined as one video le. Dual will be
displayed as a poster when it is not activated.
Switching—creates one video output. The Main
video is replaced by the Dual when Dual is
activated, then replaced by Main when Dual is
stopped.
Picture in picture—creates one video with main
inserted into the Dual. When Dual is activated,
the Main video will transition to the selected
location, displaying the Dual video. On turning off
Dual, the Main will transition to take up the entire
video.
Movie Settings
Formats. There are three formats available.
Windows Media for playback using Windows
Media Player.
MPEG4 for playback using QuickTime.
Real Media for playback using Real Media
Player.
Windows Media, MPEG4 and Real Media
formats can be viewed on a PC, as long as the
correct plugins have been downloaded and
installed.
Only MPEG4 format playback is supported on a
Macintosh.
To support users watching a conference on
a mixture of PCs and Macintoshes, choose
Windows Media and MPEG4 formats. The
Windows Media format will be automatically
selected and played back on a PC, and MPEG4
on a Macintosh.
If you select one format only - MPEG4 - users
on a PC will need to install QuickTime Player on
their computers to view the conference, if the
QuickTime plugin is not already installed.
