Keyword

Allowed values

Description

CONF_ATTR_NUM_LOUDEST_SPEAKERS

1..n when coaching is disabled

1..8 on AG boards when coaching is enabled

1..16 on CG boards when coaching is enabled

Number of members used for generating the conference output signal. In the interest of quality, the number of mixed member voices is minimized for output signal generation. An application can adjust this number according to its needs.

CONF_ATTR_EVENT_MASK

0 to disable all the events

or

CNF_EVNMSK_ACTIVE_
TALKERS_CHANGE

or

CNF_EVNMSK_TONE_
DONE

Bitmask describing the event the application is to receive for the conference.

CONF_ATTR_ACTIVE_TALKERS

1..n

Number of talking members factored in while generating CNFEVN_ACTIVE_TALKERS_CHANGE. This attribute enables an application to tune the way CNFEVN_ACTIVE_TALKERS_CHANGE is generated. For example, when set to one (1), NaturalConference generates an event only when the main talker is changing. If set to 6, NaturalConference generates an event when one of the 6 main talkers has changed. This has nothing to do with the selection of the loudest speaker except that if both attributes are set with the same value, the application considers the active talkers member list as the current member used for generating the conference's output signal.

CONF_ATTR_ACTIVE_TALKERS_TIMER

100 to 60000

Minimum time (in multiples of 20 ms) between the generation of two CNFEVN_ACTIVE_TALKERS_CHANGE events.


Refer to CNF.CONFERENCE_ATTR for attribute default values.
