Once a video archive recorded by an RSS device is discovered by the Polycom VMC 1000, it is transferred from the device to a central repository managed by the Polycom VMC 1000. The managed content can then be assigned access control parameters and published to the Polycom VMC 1000 to be accessed by the Viewer Portal (which contains an embedded Window Media player), or by the Windows Media Player, depending upon which option the Site Administrator selects during setup. The following figure shows how the Polycom VMC 1000 works as part of the Polycom video conferencing solution:
Additionally, live broadcasts can include streams from external sources such as the Polycom Recording Studio (PRS) 2000, VBrick encoder, ViewCast encoder, or an syndication service.
