Conference Profiles

Profiles stored on the MCU enable you to define all types of conferences. Profiles include conference parameters such as Conferencing Mode, Conference Session Type, Conference Line Rate, People and Content resolution and settings, Video Layout, Encryption, Lost Packet Recovery etc.

The maximum number of Conference Profiles that can be defined is:

•RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 - 40

•RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 - 40

•RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000 - 80

Conference Profiles are assigned to Conferences, Meeting Rooms, Reservations and Entry Queues. The same Profile can be assigned to different conferencing entities. When modifying the Profile parameters, the changes will be applied to all the conferencing entities to which the profile is assigned.

Conference Profile options differ according to the selected Conferencing Mode and Conference Type. Profiles can be defined for AVC (Advanced Video Codec) conferencing Mode or SVC (Scalable Video Codec) conferencing Mode. AVC Conferencing Mode, offers two Video session types: Continuous Presence (CP) conferences and Video Switching (VSW) Conferences. and a special functional conference - Operator Conferences.

Conference Profiles can be saved to Conference Templates along with all participant parameters, including their Personal Layout and Video Forcing settings, enabling administrators and operators to create, save, schedule and activate identical conferences. For more information see Chapter 11, “Conference Templates” .

Conferencing Modes

The MCU system offers two Conferencing Modes:

•Transcoding - AVC Conferencing

•Media Relay - SVC Conferencing

Transcoding - AVC Conferencing

In this mode, video is received from all the endpoints using different line rates, different protocols (SIP, H.323, PSTN and ISDN) and video parameters:

•Video protocols: H.261, H.263, H.264 Base and High profile and RTV

•Video Resolutions: from QCIF, CIF and up to 1080p

•Frame rates up to 60 fps

The MCU process the received video, transcodes it and send the resulting video streams to the endpoints. The video processing that is required differs according to the video session set for the conference, with all the processing performed by the MCU. For more details, see "AVC Conferencing - Video Session Types” on page 2-2.
