Polycom 2000 User Manual

In addition to Standard Conferencing the following features can be enabled: 
•

H.239 – Allows compliant endpoints to transmit and receive two 

simultaneous streams of conference data to enable Content sharing. 

H.239 is also supported in cascading conferences. Both H.263 and 

H.264 Content sharing protocols are supported. If all endpoints 

connected to the conference have H.264 capability, Content is shared 

using H.264, otherwise Content is shared using H.263.
For more information, see "H.239” on page

•

Lecture Mode – The lecturer is seen by all participants in full screen 

while the lecturer views all conference participants in the selected 

video layout.
For more information, see "Lecture Mode” on page

.

•

Presentation Mode – When the current speaker’s speech exceeds a 

predefined time (30 seconds), the conference layout automatically 

changes to full screen, displaying the current speaker as the 

conference lecturer on all the participants’ endpoints. During this 

time the speaker’s endpoint displays the previous conference layout. 

When another participant starts talking, the Presentation Mode is 

cancelled and the conference returns to its predefined video layout. 

Presentation mode is available with Auto Layout and Same Layout.

If the speaker in a video conference is an Audio Only participant, 

the Presentation Mode is disabled for that participant.

Video forcing works in the same way as in Lecture Mode when 

Presentation Mode is activated, that is, forcing is only enabled at 

the conference level, and it only applies to the video layout 

viewed by the lecturer.

•

Telepresence Mode - enables the connection of numerous high 

definition telepresence rooms and of different models (such as TPX 

and RPX) into one conference maintaining the telepresence 

experience. This mode is enabled by a special license.
