Cisco Cisco TelePresence MCU 4510 Maintenance Manual
In this type of view (a layout in which all panes are of equal size), the focused participant is shown in the first
pane, the one at the top left. The important participant is shown in the "next" pane, normally the one
immediately to the right of the first pane.

immediately to the right of the first pane.
This type of layout displays a single big pane and several small panes. If the view focus has been changed
(for instance with left and right far-end camera control operations), then the big pane shows the selected
participant. If a conference participant has been set to "important" then its video stream is shown in the big
pane.

However, if a participant has been set to "important" and the view is focused on a (different) specific

These layouts have two large panes and several smaller ones. If the view focus has been changed (for
instance with left and right far-end camera control operations), then the upper or left large pane shows the

If the same participant is focused and "important", that video stream appears in the upper or left pane.
For these layouts, if the view has been focused on a particular participant, that participant appears in the

In layouts with three large panes, even if the view is focused on a specific participant and another has been
set to "important", one large pane remains. This pane displays the "loudest" remaining participant.

Clipped panes
The majority of the conference layouts defined by the MCU, for example:
have in common that all of their panes, whether big or small, have the same aspect ratio as the view itself.
That is, the panes' widths and heights are in the same proportion as the width and height of the
encompassing view.

By comparison, there are some defined conference layouts, for example:
