Resource Capacities in AVC CP, SVC and Mixed Mode Conferences in MPMx Card Configuration Mode
When viewing the Collaboration Server resource report for mixed CP and SVC conferences, the resource
allocations are described in AVC HD720p30 units. A port ratio of 1 AVC HD port will equal 2 AVC SD ports,
which equals 3 SVC ports (in a non-mixed conference). When the Collaboration Server is reporting the
available capacity, it will appropriately round up the remaining capacity to the nearest whole value of
available ports. For example, one SVC endpoint in a conference is equal to 1/3 of the resource value. The
resource report displays this as one full resource used. Two SVC endpoints is equal to 2/3 of the resource
value. Therefore, the resource report displays this as one full resource used, and so forth. The following
tables show the actual resource capacity utilization for both CP only and mixed CP and SVC conferences
in AVC HD720p30 units for each port type for a single MPMx media board at full capacity.
* Resources are consumed at this rate only after the conference contains a mix of endpoints.
