[XCON] Common-data-model -- video-layout



Hi,

I have a question related to the video-layout element in XCON common
data model.

Question 1:

The video-layout element is defined in the conference description level.
So one video conference will have only one layout. That means

1) From the conference mixer point of view its only one output mix. 
2) All participants view the same layout.

Is my understanding correct? If so the video-layout description in
common-data-model is giving a different impression. From the text below
I got an impression that each participant can have different layout.

The <video-layout> element is used in conjunction with a video

Title: Common-data-model -- video-layout

Hi,

I have a question related to the video-layout element in XCON common data model.

Question 1:

The video-layout element is defined in the conference description level. So one video conference will have only one layout. That means

1) From the conference mixer point of view its only one output mix.
2) All participants view the same layout.

Is my understanding correct? If so the video-layout description in common-data-model is giving a different impression. From the text below I got an impression that each participant can have different layout.

The <video-layout> element is used in conjunction with a video
stream to specify how the video streams (of participants) are
viewed by each participant.  Only one layout type can be
specified for each output stream

Question 2:

In the data model is it possible to include video-layout per participant. May be its correct to say per endpoint. If the display of endpoint is small (mobile phone) a participant can select a smaller layout (Eg: dual-view) . If the endpoint display is large (pc) a participant can select a bigger layout. Of course this causes more processing in the mixer to generate several output mixes.

In H.248.19 it is possible to specify one layout type per termination.

So in the data model I like to propose to add 

Users->user->endpoint->controls->video-layout

Any way the summary is I like to see layout per participant (endpoint)

Regards
Krishna
