RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX)
In the SVC conferencing environment, the Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server
(RMX) functions as a media relay server. The RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX)
does not perform encoding and decoding or any transcoding between the endpoints as it
would normally do in an AVC conferencing environment. The RealPresence Collaboration
Server (RMX) determines in real-time which of the incoming video streams to send to each
endpoint.
In addition, the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) controls and manages non-SVC
multipoint video and audio conferences at the same time.
For more information on the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX), see the Polycom®
RealPresence® Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide.
RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, Virtual Edition
The Polycom® RealPresence® Collaboration Server 800s, Virtual Edition, is the industry’s
first multi-protocol, integrated software MCU that runs on industry-standard servers. The
Collaboration Server 800s, Virtual Edition delivers open standards-based SVC that results in
3X HD multipoint video capacity for greater scalability. For SVC-based conferencing, the
RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s performs similar functions as the RealPresence
Collaboration Server (RMX). In addition, the Collaboration Server 800s controls and
manages mixed AVC/SVC video conferences as well as non-SVC multipoint video and
audio conferences at the same time.
The RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s system is installed on the Dell
®
PowerEdge™
R620 E5-2690 Rack Server.
For more information on the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, see the Polycom®
RealPresence® Collaboration Server 800s, Virtual Edition Administrator’s Guide.
Licensing for SVC-Based Conferencing
Before using SVC-based conferencing on the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, it is
