Conference Templates Conference Manager Configuration
Polycom, Inc. 211
RMX profile name Identifies the RMX profile to which this template is
linked. The list contains the names of all the profiles
available on the currently connected MCUs. If a profile
is only available on some of the connected MCUs, its
entry shows how many of the MCUs have that profile
(for instance, 2 of 3).
The system will put conferences using this template on
the least used RMX MCU that has this profile. If there
are none, it selects the least-used MCU and either uses
the Codian-specific settings (if it selected a Cisco
Codian MCU) or falls back to the default conference
template (if it selected a Polycom RMX MCU).
Cascaded conference Enables conferences using this template to span RMX
MCUs.
Cascading requires site topology information, which the
Polycom DMA system can get from a Polycom
RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system (see
“Resource Management System Integration” on
page185) or you can create (see “Site Topology” on
page283 ).
See “About Cascading” on page 198 for more
information about enabling cascading of conferences.
Video switching (VSW) Enables a special conferencing mode that provides HD
video while using MCU resources more efficiently. All
participants see the current speaker full screen (the
current speaker sees the previous speaker).
If this mode is enabled:
•The minimum line rate available is 768 kbps (except
for SD resolution, available only on RMX v7 MCUs
with MPM+ or MPMx cards).
•All endpoints must connect at the same line rate,
and those that don’t support the specified line rate
are connected in voice-only mode.
•The video clarity, layout, and skins settings are not
available.
•LPR is automatically turned off, but can be turned
back on.
If this option is off, conferences using this template are
in Continuous Presence (CP) mode, in which the MCU
selects the best video protocol, resolution, and frame
rate for each endpoint according to its capabilities.
