Abstract:
Systems and methods for performing videoconferencing using endpoints with multiple monitors and multiple cameras are disclosed herein. These endpoints are comprised of, where each node is comprised of a control unit and one or more node units, each connected to at least one monitor, camera, speaker, or microphone. Video is encoded using scalable coding, and endpoints are connected to each other over a network using an SVCS. Algorithms are described for layout management, tagging of individual streams, and use of tags for dynamic and prioritized layout management.
