239 / People+Content | Polycom RMX 1500, DOC2702A specs

Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide

H.239 / People+Content

H.239

The H.239 protocol allows compliant endpoints to transmit and receive two simultaneous video streams:

•People video stream – video is displayed in Continuous Presence or Video Switching conferencing mode or in Media Relay (SVC) conferencing Mode

•Content video stream – Video Switching mode for content sharing

By default, all conferences, Entry Queues, and Meeting Rooms launched on the RMX have H.239 capabilities.

To view Content, endpoints must use the same Bit Rate, Protocol, and Resolution. An AVC endpoint may not send Content while connecting to an Entry Queue.

Endpoints without H.239 capability can connect to the video conference without Content.

Cascade links declare H.239 capabilities and they are supported in Star and MIH cascading topologies. For more details, see "Cascading Conferences - H.239-enabled MIH Topology” on page 5-26.

People+Content

People+Content utilizes a different signaling protocol and is Polycom’s proprietary equivalent of H.239.

Guidelines

•All network environments are supported.

•Conferences can include a mix of endpoints that support H.239 or People+Content.

•All endpoints will receive Content at the highest resolution common to all connected endpoints.

•SIP People+Content is supported with MPM+ and MPMx cards.

•H.239 is supported in MIH, Star and Basic Cascading topologies.

•People+Content is supported in cascaded conferences but cannot be used as the protocol for a cascade link.

•If an endpoint supports both H.239 and People+Content protocols, H.239 is selected as the preferred communications protocol.

•H.263 Annex T and H.264 protocols are supported for Content transmission.

•People+Content is enabled by default. It can be disabled for all conferences and endpoints by manually adding the ENABLE_EPC System Flag to the System Configuration and setting its value to NO (default setting is YES).

•Endpoints that support People+Content (for example, FX endpoints) may require a different signaling protocol. For these endpoints, manually add the System Flag CS_ENABLE_EPC to the System Configuration and set its value to YES (default value is NO).

•Content sharing is not supported in Microsoft ICE environment (BFCP protocol).
