Abstract:
1. Logic encoded in one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media for execution and when executed operable to: identify at least a first location of a plurality of locations, the plurality of locations being associated with a conference system, the conference system having a conference server and a mixer; prioritize the plurality of locations by assigning a first priority to at least the first location and assigning a second priority to a second location of the plurality of locations, wherein the second priority is lower than the first priority, wherein the logic operable to prioritize the plurality of locations is further operable to assign the first priority to the endpoints associated with the first location; receive a first media stream from a first endpoint associated with the first location; receive a second media stream from a second endpoint associated with the second location; and process received media streams such that media streams received from endpoints associated with the first location as having a higher priority than media streams received from endpoints associated with the second location, wherein the logic operable to process the received media streams is further operable to boost the first media stream to a high level and to boost the second media stream to a low level, wherein the endpoints associated with the first location each has a first location-specific filter and the endpoints associated with the second location each has a second location-specific filter, and the logic operable to process the received media streams is further operable to process the media streams received from endpoints associated with the first location using the first location-specific filter and to process the media streams received from endpoints associated with the second location using the second location-specific filter.
