Chapter 4-Additional Conferencing Information

Only one preview window can be displayed for a single conference and up to four preview windows can be displayed for each media card on different workstations (one per workstation and one per conference). For example, if the RMX contains two media cards, and there are 5 conferences running on the RMX, if five conferences are running on the same media card, only four conferences can be previewed from four different workstations. If four or less conferences are running on one media card and the remaining conferences are running on the other media card, all five conferences can be previewed.
