Using Media Converter for Polycom RSS
Format conversion
The Media Converter for Polycom RSS can be used to convert the format of
video bit streams in two ways:
Conversion between source code types:
This type of conversion is used only to convert the video format and
bandwidth of a bit stream.
When video is recorded in a high-resolution format or using high bandwidth,
it may not be possible to play the recorded video normally on an ordinary
endpoint. The user may, however, use the bit stream conversion tool to
change the format and bandwidth of the bit stream, and enable it to be
played by other endpoints. The converted bit stream files can only be used by
the Polycom® RSS™ 4000. Use the file upload tool—Polycom RSS Archive
Transfer Manager —to upload the files back to the Polycom® RSS™ 4000.
Please see Using Polycom® RSS™ 4000Upload for an overview of the file
uplo
ad tool.
