7. Series 2000 Release 6.2 New Features

8. Release 6.2 New Features • This Module explains the following new features: • Panoramic View • Autoscan for the Presenter • Token Command Association/Token Indicate Response Support (TCA/TIR)

9. New Panoramic View Feature • The ability to divide the continuous presence video site view into three windows • The top view appears in “landscape” format across the top of the other two site views New Panoramic Window View Original Standard (Quadrant) View

10. Panoramic View Supports • Three anchored windows • Two anchored windows with one voice activated • Switching between full screen and Panoramic Continuous Presence • Lecture Mode • CollaboRates™ and up to E1/T1 rates (requires Enhanced Continuous Presence and CollaboRates Option) • Conference Talk

11. Panoramic View Supports (cont.) • Chair Control • H.261 CIF and QCIF video formats • Annex D Graphics

12. Generating Panoramic View • Panoramic View generated using minimal cropping of image • capture 164 lines from middle of image • 1/6 taller than standard CP • uses only 3 to 4 scan lines from lower two windows • Will not use filtering of lines to modify the image • Reduces possible issues with frame rate reduction.

22. Autoscan Trainer

23. New Autoscan Feature • Allows the primary broadcaster (presenter or lecturer) to view all sites in a conference for a pre-defined interval • This feature is of particular value in distance learning applications.

24. Autoscan Operation • Must configure before conference starts • Then on by default • Loops through the sites in order by site number as defined by Conference Manager • New people added at end of list • Default scan 15 seconds per site • User selectable 3 digit scan rate (in seconds) • Only the broadcaster sees the Autoscan display (doesn’t include broadcaster’s site) • Other participants see full screen view of the presenter/lecturer

25. Autoscan Supports • Modes Supported • Continuous Presence Lecture mode • Continuous Presence Lecture mode with Voice Activated Window • Fixed Presenter Mode

26. Autoscan in Fixed Presenter • Participants see presenter full screen • Presenter views each site full screen for pre-defined interval in order of site number • Autoscan stops with voice activation to view the loudest speaker if Broadcaster’s View is defined as Voice Activated. • Autoscan resumes after the Presenter speaks for two scan rates • Suggested mode for distance learning

29. Autoscan in Continuous Presence Lecture Mode • Continuous Presence Lecture Mode (no voice activated window) • Autoscan is activated for one window in the video mix. This window will cycle through the roster of unanchored sites that are currently transmitting video. • The Autoscan window • Does not display the Lecturer • Does not display anchored sites • Prevents seeing the same user in two different windows at the same time.
