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

Enter the interval in seconds between the Intra requests sent from the RMX to the endpoint sending the Content to refresh the Content display. Refresh requests that will be received from endpoints within the defined interval will be postponed to the next interval.

Default setting: 5

Forcing Other Content Capabilities

The H239_FORCE_CAPABILITIES System Flag in system.cfg gives additional control over Content sharing:

When the flag is set to NO (default), the RMX only verifies that the endpoint supports the content protocols: H.263 or H.264.

When set to YES, the RMX checks frame rate, bit rate, resolution, annexes and all other parameters of the Content mode as declared by an endpoint during the capabilities negotiation phase. If the endpoint does not support the Content capabilities of the MCU, the participant will not be able to send or receive content over a dedicated content channel.

Video Preview

RMX users can preview the video sent from the participant to the conference (MCU) and the video sent from the conference to the participant. It enables the RMX users to monitor the quality of the video sent and received by the participant and identify possible quality degradation.

The video preview is displayed in a separate window independent to the RMX Web Client. All Web Client functionality is enabled and conference and participant monitoring as well as all other user actions can be performed while the video preview window is open and active. Live video is shown in the preview window as long as the window is open. The preview window closes automatically when the conference ends or when participant disconnects from the conference. It can also be closed manually by the RMX user.

Video Preview Guidelines

Video preview is available in AVC (CP and VSW) conferences. It is not available in SVC Conferencing Mode.

Video preview window size and resolution are adjusted to the resolution of the PC that displays the preview.

Video Preview of the video sent from the conference to the participant is shown according to the line rate and video parameters of the level threshold to which the participant is connected.

In versions up to and including Version 7.2.2, only users with Administrator authorization could request to view a video preview. In later versions, all users can view a video preview.

Video preview is supported with MPM+ and MPMx cards.

Only one preview window can be displayed for each RMX Web Client connection (workstation).
