Chapter 1-System Overview

Standard Definition (SD)

SD is a high quality video protocol which uses the H.264 video algorithm. It enables HD compliant endpoints to connect to conferences at resolutions of 720X576 for PAL systems and 720X480 for NTSC systems. Bit rates for SD range from 256Kbps to 2Mbps.

High Definition (HD)

HD is an ultra-high quality video resolution enabling compliant endpoints to connect to conferences at resolutions

of 1280x720 (720p) and at bit rates ranging from 384kbp to 4Mb.

Setting a video conference to HD resolution forces all conference participants to connect using the same conference line rate and HD capabilities. Endpoints that are unable to meet these requirements connect as Secondary (audio only).

Multiple Switching Modes

If the number of participants is higher than the number of video windows in the selected layout, switching between video participants can be performed in one of these modes:

Voice activation

RMX user forces participants to selected video window

Lecture Mode - The lecturer is viewed in full screen by all conference participants, while the audience is “time-switched” in the speaker’s view

Presentation Mode - When the speaker’s presentation extends beyond a predefined time, he/she becomes the current lecturer and the conference switches to Lecture Mode

H.239 / People+Content

The H.239 protocol allows compliant endpoints to share content. By default, all Conferences, Entry Queues, and Meeting Rooms launched on the RMX have H.239 capability.

People+Content is Polycom’s proprietary equivalent of H.239.

Media Encryption

Encryption is available at the conference and participant levels, based on AES 128 Media Encryption and DH 1024 Key Exchange standards.
