Explanation:
All of the screens will change to display the active speaker’s room. The Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch
can be configured for one of two switching modes: room switching or speaker switching. The switching mode
indicates what should be displayed on participants’ screens when the active speaker changes. The active
speaker is the person who is the loudest speaker for two seconds.
With room switching, the active speaker’s room is displayed on all three screens in all other rooms. When the
active speaker changes to someone in a different room, all of the screens in other rooms will display the new
active speaker’s room.
With speaker switching, each screen in a room can change independently of the other screens. The screens
can display different table segments in the same room or in different rooms. When the active speaker changes,
the active speaker’s table segment will be displayed on one of the screens in all rooms.
The active speaker might not be displayed on the center screen. The active speaker will be displayed on the
center screen only if the speaker is sitting in front of the center camera. If someone who is in another room and
is not displayed onscreen becomes the active speaker, the screens will change to show that person or the room
that the active speaker is in. With room switching, all screens will change; with speaker switching, only one
screen will change. All of the screens will not change to display the active speaker. The other screens will
display other participants in the same room. With speaker switching, the other screens will display two other
active table segments.Cisco: Multipoint Solution for Cisco TelePresence Systems
