TIP Layout Support & Resource Usage
Cisco Telepresence endpoints using TIP protocol support only one (CTS 1000) or three (CTS 3000) display
screens. Therefore, Polycom Telepresence endpoints will adjust their display to use one or three screens
as follows:
OTX system - works with three screens, therefore no adjustment is required and it should be set to
work in room switch Telepresence Layout Mode (while avoiding zooming in/out)
RPX 2xx - This endpoint works with two screens, therefore it will adjust to use only one screen.
RPX 4xx - This endpoint works with four screens, therefore it will adjust to use only three screens.
Standalone HDX - behaves as the CTS 1000 and uses only one screen.
Group system 300/500 - behaves as the CTS 1000 and uses only one screen.
The Polycom MLA Server manages the conference template layouts for Telepresence systems.
The number of screens used by each TIP-enabled endpoint is determined during the capabilities exchange
phase of the dial-in connection. It affects the usage and allocation of resources used with TIP-enabled
endpoints.
Supported TIP Resolutions and Resource Allocation

Supported Resolutions

In a Telepresence TIP-enabled environment, only two video resolutions are available: 720p30 & 1080p30.
Supported resolution per conference line rate

Resource Allocation

The MCU media processor (ART) supports up to three TIP-enabled screens as follows:
One TIP-enabled endpoint with three screens
Up to three TIP-enabled endpoint with one screen
TIP-enabled endpoint with three screens must be handled by the same media processor. This endpoint may
fail to connect if there is no one fully free media (ART) processor available.
The MCU will always try to fill up one media processor with up to three TIP-enabled endpoint with one
screen, to save free media processors for TIP-enabled endpoint with three screens.
