Multiple Cascade Links

Multiple Cascade Links enable Cascading between RMXs hosting conferences that include Immersive Telepresence Rooms (ITP) such as Polycom’s OTX and RPX Room Systems.

In previous versions the video stream of only one of the ITP endpoints could be sent to the remote RMX.

Guidelines

•Multiple Cascade Links are implemented by creating a Link Participant which consists of a main link and sub-links which are automatically generated and sequentially numbered. For more information see "Creating a Link Participant” on page 4-66.

•All cascaded links must use H.323 protocol.

•Multiple Cascade Links are supported with MPMx and MPM+ cards.

•Multiple Cascade Links are supported in CP conferencing mode.

•The number of cascading links is defined manually according to the maximum number of Room System cameras in the cascaded conference.

•When the active speaker is in an Immersive Telepresence Room, Multiple Cascade Links are used, one link for each of the Room System’s cameras.

—An RPX 4xx Room System requires 4 Cascaded Links to carry the video of its 4 cameras.

—An RPX 2xx Room System requires 2 Cascaded Links to carry the video of its 2 cameras.

—An OTX 3xx Room System requires 3 Cascaded Links to carry the video of its 3 cameras. The OTX Room System must be configured as Room Switch in order to send multiple streams. When configured in CP Mode, its cameras zoom out and all 3 screens are sent as one stream.

•The number of links is defined when creating the Link Participant. Each conference in the cascade must have a Link Participant with the same number of Multiple Cascade Links defined. Calls from Link Participants not defined with the same number of links are rejected. Number of cascading links is not identical for all conferences is listed as the Call Disconnection Cause. For more information see "Creating a Link Participant” on page 4-66and "Monitoring Multiple Cascade Links” on page 1-1.

•Although it is possible to disconnect and reconnect specific Multiple Cascade Links using the RMX Web Client / RMX Manager it not advisable to do so.
