Conferencing Modes Overview

Video Switching uses fewer system resources than CP: only one CIF video resource per participant for any resolution (including HD). The table below lists the resources available to VSW conferences by line rate and card type.

The maximum supported video conference size is 180 participants with the MPMx card, or with Collaboration Server 1800.

The display aspect ratio is 4x3 or 16x9.

Site (endpoint) names, skins, message overlay etc. are not supported in Video Switching.

Video forcing is enabled at the conference and participant levels.

To connect to a Video Switching conference via Entry Queue, the Profile assigned to the Entry Queue must be set to Video Switching. It is recommended to use the same profile for both the destination conference and Entry Queue.

Telepresence Mode is unavailable in Video Switching conferences.

In RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000/4000 with MPMRx media cards, each participant connecting to a VSW conference consumes one HD720 port.
