Resource Capacity

The RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 supports one card type: MPMx.

The RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 can support three card types: MPM,

MPM+ and MPMx.

The RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000 supports only: MPM+ and MPMx cards.

Table 21-3 summarizes the resource capacities of fully configured RMXs with the various

card types per resolution in CP Conferencing mode.

Three assembly variations, MPMx-S, MPMx-D and MPMx-Q, differing in resource capacity, are
available for the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500.
From Version 7.1 MPM media cards are not supported. The numbers in Table 21-3 are for MPM
card assemblies with maximum resource capacities.
One SVC resource is equivalent to one AVC CIF resource.
