On the RMX1500 MPMx-Q assembly, the use of HD with Continuous Presence requires an additional license. In the Resource Report and Resolution Configuration panes, HD settings are displayed but are not enabled and if HD is selected the system will enable SD by default.

Fixed Resource Capacity mode displays five sliders, one for each resource type: Audio Only, CIF, SD, HD 720p 30fps, HD 1080p / HD 720p 60fps (HD 1080p / HD 720p 60fps resources are represented on the same slider) where each type requires different number of video resources (in CIF ports) for connecting endpoints.

The first time the Fixed Resource Capacity is selected, all resources are allocated to HD720p30 by default.

If the allocation mode was previously Fixed or if it was Auto but Fixed had been selected in the past, the previous resource allocations in the mode are displayed.

The maximum number of allocatable resources of each type per fully licenced MCU with either MPM+ or MPMx cards is described in Table 21-3,Resource Capacities for Full Capacity RMX per Resolution in CP,” on page 21-6. The Max Resolution setting of the Resolution Configuration dialog box does not affect resource allocation.

Example: If it is set to SD30, the HD 1080p slider is still displayed and HD 1080 resources can be allocated. However, HD 1080 participants will connect at SD30 resolution.

Using the sliders, the administrator can manually allocate resources to the various types of video resolutions and Audio Only connections that can be used by connecting endpoints.

3Move the blue slider buttons to allocate resources.

As all the resources are allocated when the dialog box opens, you must first free resources of one type by moving the blue slider button to the left, and then move blue slider button of the required resource type to the number of resources to be allocated.
