Chapter 2-Conference Profiles

Video forcing works in the same way as in Lecture Mode when Presentation Mode is activated, that is, forcing is only enabled at the conference level, and it only applies to the video layout viewed by the lecturer.

Telepresence Mode (CP Conferences only) - enables the connection of numerous high definition telepresence rooms and of different models (such as TPX and RPX) into one conference maintaining the telepresence experience. This mode is enabled by a special license.

Encryption – Used to enhance media security at conference and participant levels. For more information, see "Audio Algorithm Support” on page 4-35.

Conference Recording - The RMX enables audio and video recording of conferences using Polycom RSS 2000 recording system.

Packet Loss Concealment (PLC) - for Siren audio algorithms improves received audio when packet loss occurs in the network. PLC is enabled by the SET_AUDIO_PLC System Flag in system.cfg

PLC for Audio is supported with MPM+ and MPMx cards only.

The speaker’s endpoint must use a Siren algorithm for audio compression.

The following audio algorithms are supported:

Siren 7 (mono)

Siren 14 (mono/stereo)

Siren 22 (mono/stereo)

Auto Brightness - detects and automatically adjusts the brightness of video windows that are dimmer than other video windows in the conference layout.

Auto Brightness is supported with MPM+ and MPMx cards only.

Auto Brightness only increases brightness and does not darken video windows.

Audio Clarity - improves received audio from participants connected via low audio bandwidth connections, by stretching the fidelity of the narrowband telephone connection to improve call clarity.

Audio Clarity is supported with MPM+ and MPMx cards only.

Audio Clarity is applied to the following low bandwidth (4kHz) audio algorithms:

G.729a

G.711

TIP Support

TIP is a proprietary protocol created by Cisco for deployment in Cisco TelePresence systems (CTS). Polycom’s solution is to allow the RMX to natively inter-operate with Cisco TelePresence Systems, ensuring optimum quality multi-screen, multipoint calls. For more information, see "Collaboration With Cisco’s Telepresence Interoperability Protocol (TIP)” on page I-1.

Operator Conferences (CP only Conferences)

Offers additional conference management capabilities to the RMX users, enabling them to attend to participants with special requirements and acquire participant details for billing and statistics. This service is designed usually for large conferences that require the personal touch. Operator assistance is available in MPM, MPM+ and MPMx Card Configuration Modes. For more information, see Chapter 10, “Operator Assistance & Participant Move” on page 10-1
