RMX Main Features

Conferencing Modes

Dynamic Continuous Presence

The dynamic Continuous Presence (CP) capability of the RMX system enables viewing flexibility by offering multiple viewing options and window layouts for video conferencing. By default every conference, Entry Queue and Meeting Room has the ability to declare the maximum CP resolution as defined for the system. This includes conferences launched by the RMX Web Client and conferences started via the API.

CP mode conferencing is defined by:

•Conference profile settings:

—Conference Line Rate.

—Video Quality selection – Motion or Sharpness.

•Endpoint Capabilities – Participants can connect at differing line rates using endpoints with differing capabilities.

Video Layouts in CP

Thirty-five layouts are available to accommodate different numbers of participants and conference settings. The VUI annex to the H.264 protocol for endpoints that transmit wide video format instead of 4CIF resolution

is also supported.
