Field		Description
Common Settings
Name		A meaningful name for the template (up to 50
		characters).
Description		A brief description of the conference template (up to 50
		characters).
Conference mode		One of the following:
		• AVC only — Standard videoconferencing mode
		supporting the H.264 Advanced Video Coding
		(AVC) compression standard.
		This is the only mode that supports the use of RMX
		profiles, third-party and legacy endpoints, and
		Codian and legacy RMX MCUs.
		• SVC only — Videoconferencing mode supporting
		the Annex G extension of the H.264 AVC standard,
		known as H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC). An
		SVC video stream consists of a base layer that
		encodes the lowest available quality representation
		plus enhancement layers that each provide an
		additional quality improvement.
		The number of enhancement layers and the
		number of participants’ video included in a video
		stream to a device can be tailored to fit the
		bandwidth available and device capabilities.
		SVC conferencing is only possible with Polycom
		RMX MCUs and Polycom endpoints that support
		H.264 SVC. Selecting this setting disables most of
		the other template settings.
		See “SVC Conferencing Support” on page 4.
RMX General Settings
Use existing profile		Links this template to the RMX profile selected in the list
		below.
		For most purposes, we recommend leaving this box
		unchecked and specifying conference properties
		directly. See “Conference Templates” on page 195.
