What is Continuous Presence Videoconferencing?
Current standards complaints Multipoint Conference Server (MCS) systems supports Switched Presence of conferences in which all the participants of the conference receive the same image. The image sent to the participants is selected by voice switching or by a conference chair. The visual cues of the other participants are lost and the participants have no control over the image they are receiving. Further all participants must communicate at the lowest transmission rate supported by one of the participants. If one participant’s terminal equipment support 64Kbps then all are restricted to this transmission speed. In Continuous Presence Videoconferencing, MCS allows multiple participants in a videoconference to view the other participants simultaneously. For example if from site 1 X is delivering lecture and the students are attending lecture from SITE-2, SITE-3, SITE-4, SITE-5 through continuous presence videoconferencing X can view all the four classes. Although it is difficult to view
