In various embodiments, multiple participants (at endpoints) may connect
through a video conferencing system. A screen may display other
participants in the conference call. For example, multiple participants
may be displayed in respective portions of the screen. In some
embodiments, each of the participants may use video conferencing systems
that support different resolutions. In some embodiments, a transcoder may
resolution transcode signals to allow the conference call participants to
be displayed on each participant's respective screen at up to the highest
possible resolution supported by the respective screen. For example, low
resolution video conferencing systems may be displayed on a high
definition screen of a high resolution system at the low resolution of
the low resolution video conferencing system while another image on the
same high definition screen from a different, higher resolution video
conferencing system, may be displayed at the higher resolution.
