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. 

Note: 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. 

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

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.
