Polycom RMX 2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide

Conference Level

If the RMX is not licensed for Telepresence Mode, the Telepresence option is not displayed in the New Profile dialog box

A Telepresence conference must have Telepresence Mode enabled in its profile.

When Telepresence mode is selected in a conference profile, the following options are disabled:

borders

site names

speaker indication

skins

same layout

presentation mode

auto layout

lecture mode

The master (center) camera is used for video, audio and content.

Conference Templates can be used to simplify the setting up Telepresence conferences where precise participant layout and video forcing settings are crucial. Conference Templates:

Save the conference Profile.

Save all participant parameters including their Personal Layout and Video Forcing settings.

An ongoing Telepresence conference can be saved to a Conference Template for later re-use.

For more information see "Conference Templates” on page 8-1.

Room (Participant/Endpoint) Level

To the RMX, each camera in a Telepresence room is considered to be an endpoint and is configured as a participant.

The Telepresence Mode field is always displayed in the New Participant dialog box. If the system is not licensed for Telepresence this field is automatically set to None.

Telepresence participants (endpoints) must be specified as:

RPX – transmitting 4:3 video or

TPX – transmitting 16:9 video

2-43
