Table 8-4Edit Conference Template dialog box (continued)

Field	Description
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
	page 185) or you can create (see “Site Topology” on
	page 283).
	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.
