Appendix H - Integration Into Microsoft Environments
Polycom®, Inc. 793
Deployment Architecture 1 - Collaboration Server Hosted
Lync 2013 clients connect to a conference hosted on a Polycom Collaboration Server.
H.264 SVC Lync clients are connected using UCConfig Mode 1:
The SVC Codec’s Temporal Scaling capability is used to send one video stream to and from the
Collaboration Server for each resolution at multiple frame rates.
H.264 SVC uses H.264 SEI messages to send stream layout information rather than SDP
messages.
There is one audio stream per direction.
Lync clients place calls to a Virtual Meeting Room provisioned on the DMA, for example,
1234@dma.example.com
The Collaboration Server can connect Lync 2013 participants to either mixed AVC/SVC or to AVC
only conferences.
Lync 2013 clients dialing to a VMR, where the type of the conference is SVC/AVC mixed and AVC
CP only have their video decoded. The Collaboration Server sends encoded video to Lync 2013
participants.
