Using dual screen views on SIP/H.323 devices

SIP/H.323 devices connected via the Cloud Room Connector can now view the Active Speaker layout on one screen while viewing the Gallery view layout on a second screen or view both Gallery views across both screens. If there are only two other participants in the meeting, both participants will be displayed separately on each screen. 

Prerequisites for using dual screen views on SIP/H.323 devices

• SIP/H.323 device connected to two monitors
• H.239 or BFCP enabled at the device level
• H.264 is supported for screen share content channel
• Call speed of 4 Mbps or higher

Limitations of usage

• This feature utilizes the dual-streams, by using the content stream for the second video feed when screen sharing is not being utilized. Due to this, if your dialing string utilizes "505" to force single-stream video connections, this feature will not work correctly. 
• The Cloud Room Connector only supports a maximum of two (2) displays. 

How to join a meeting with dual-screen video enabled

To join a meeting with dual video-enabled, you will need to add "308" or "608" to your dial string, when dialing into the meeting.

Note: Whether using 608 or 308 to join the meeting, the video layout can still be changed from within the in-meeting menu by opening the main menu, and pressing 1 to change the video layout.
