Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide

In Fixed Resource Capacity mode, the maximum number of resources is based on the system license and the hardware configuration of the RMX. By default, these resources are allocated as HD720p30 resources, the first time Fixed Resource Capacity mode is activated.

Example: If two MPM+ cards are installed in the MCU, providing 160 video resources, and the license was not upgraded accordingly, although the system capacity is higher, resource availability for allocation does not change and remains according to the license (80). Conversely, if two MPM+ cards are installed in the MCU, providing 160 video resources, and the license is for 160 video resources, and one of the MPM+ cards is removed, the resource availability for allocation is changed to 80.

Resource Usage

SVC Conferencing

During a SVC conference, each SVC-endpoint uses one video port. One SVC resource is equivalent to one AVC CIF resource. When sharing content an additional video resource is used.

AVC Conferencing - Continuous Presence

Video resources usage varies according to the video resolution used by the endpoints. The higher the video resolution (quality), the greater the amount of video resources consumed by the MCU.

Table 21-5 shows the number of video resources used for each resolution.
