Note about Session Configuration Files

Users of the Polycom PRS 2000 appliance have the ability to create multiple session configuration files. A session consists of the following high level categories, Metadata, Inputs, Outputs, Presets and Video Mix.

Within the metadata category, the user has the ability to assign a title, author, subject, etc. A user could select multiple session configurations with metadata to correspond to different lecturers for their specific presentations. However, a user of the system can modify the title, author, etc. with the same session configuration.

Within the Input category, the user can select the specific video, VGA and audio sources to have active for a given presentation/recording. The first is where the Polycom PRS 2000 appliance is used as a mobile recording system for different studios or rooms throughout an organization. In this use case, different A/V equipment, cables, and VGA sources are typically deployed in each room. By using different session configuration files which correspond to the particular rooms, users can easily map the different audio video layouts to simplify mobility.

For the Output category, the user can use session configuration files in a multitude of ways. First, a user can specify different encoder outputs, which not only include standard settings such as resolution and frame rate, but also feature audio and video mixes. For example, the H.264 encode could be a mix which features a full screen of Video Input 1 and Microphone 1, whereas the Windows Media mix includes 3 video inputs and VGA as well as an audio mix of 3 different audio inputs. The audio outputs could also be extended to support multiple language inputs. Countless permutations exist of different mixes that can be created using the Polycom PRS 2000 appliance.
