Deployment Architecture 1 - RealPresence Hosted Conferences

Lync 2013 clients connect to a conference hosted on a Polycom Collaboration Server.

With this deployment architecture:

●The SVC Codec’s Temporal Scaling capability is used to send one video stream to and from the Collaboration Server for each resolution at multiple frame rates.

●H.264 SVC uses H.264 SEI messages to send stream layout information rather than SDP messages.

●There is one audio stream per direction.

●Lync clients place calls to a Virtual Meeting Room provisioned on the DMA, for example, 1234@video.domain.com

●The Collaboration Server can connect Lync 2013 participants to either mixed AVC/SVC or to AVC only conferences.

●Lync 2013 clients dialing to a VMR, where the type of the conference is SVC/AVC mixed and AVC CP only have their video decoded. The Collaboration Server sends encoded video to Lync 2013 participants.
