Hi,
I'm trying to send both my cameras (from my C90) replacing the default option, which is to send the first camera, to all participants.
I have created 3 Layouts, one for each camera and one for both cameras.
Ideally i would like to choose one of the three Layouts during a call.
The problem is that if i assign a layout to a call, all participants will loose the rest of the participants of this call.
Could you please suggest a way to implement this other than assigning a layout to a call?(if there is one)
Is there a way to change the video stream i'm sending in a call without interfering anything else than the stream itself ?
Best Regards,
Marios

Hi again,
I find very difficult that nobody from all of you masters in Tandberg systems cannot answer this question.
I will really appreciate any assistance.
Many thanks,
Marios

Hi,
Many thanks for your response.
Normally in a 4 participants call every participant sees 3 small windows with each participant in each window.(default state)
I would like to change only the window with me inside and not mess with the rest windows.
If i assign a layout to a call then the participant with this callId will only see me and no other participant (window).
Is there a way to avoid this ? I hope this makes sense.

Ah, get it.
No, when you use the video compositor you are changing the whole content of what a remote site will see. Please read the howto-guide if you haven't already read it.
But for your example, here's a way to do it (using your main source + input 2 as secondary camera source):
Explaination:
line 1 creates a new layout
line 2 adds your main source as content to the new layout
line 3 adds input source 2 as second content to the new layout
line 4 adds a remote sites main stream as content to the new layout
line 5 adds a second remote sites main stream as content to the new layout just below the 1st one
line 6 assigns this layout to all the remote sites -they will all see your two cameras but they will see different remote sites (not seing themselves)
Voilla,
Regards,
David

It seems that I'm doing something wrong (or there is something wrong with the C90 algorithm).
The problem is that i'm showing one of my cameras more than one time.
For example if I'm in a call with 3 participants and i'm choosing layout 5, i'm showing to the other end two frames with my second(left) camera, even though I'm declaring that I'm using the left frame for my second camera and the right frame for the other participant's main camera.
Please advice what am i doing wrong.
