RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX)

In the SVC conferencing environment, the Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) functions as a media relay server. The RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) does not perform encoding and decoding or any transcoding between the endpoints as it would normally do in an AVC conferencing environment. The RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) determines in real-time which of the incoming video streams to send to each endpoint.

In addition, the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) controls and manages non-SVC multipoint video and audio conferences at the same time.

The RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) does not run mixed AVC and SVC conferences.

For more information on the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX), see the Polycom® RealPresence® Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide.

RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, Virtual Edition

The Polycom® RealPresence® Collaboration Server 800s, Virtual Edition, is the industry’s first multi-protocol, integrated software MCU that runs on industry-standard servers. The Collaboration Server 800s, Virtual Edition delivers open standards-based SVC that results in 3X HD multipoint video capacity for greater scalability. For SVC-based conferencing, the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s performs similar functions as the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX). In addition, the Collaboration Server 800s controls and manages mixed AVC/SVC video conferences as well as non-SVC multipoint video and audio conferences at the same time.

The RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s system is installed on the Dell® PowerEdge™ R620 E5-2690 Rack Server.

For more information on the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, see the Polycom® RealPresence® Collaboration Server 800s, Virtual Edition Administrator’s Guide.

Licensing for SVC-Based Conferencing

Before using SVC-based conferencing on the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, it is necessary to register the product and the various software licences and obtain an Activation key. Specifically, you are required to register the Collaboration Server with an SVC license to run SVC-based conferences.
