About the RealPresence Collaboration Server System

The RealPresence Collaboration Server system is a high performance, scalable, IP-network (H.323 and
SIP) ISDN/PSTN MCU that provides feature-rich and easy-to-use multipoint voice and video conferencing.
The Collaboration Server 2000/4000 meets International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication
Standardization Sector, (ITU-T, formerly CCITT) standards for multipoint multimedia bridging devices, and
meets ETSI standards for telecommunication products. In addition, it has been designed in compliance with
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).
The MCU can be used as a standalone device to run voice and video conferences or it can be used as part
of a solution provided by Polycom. This solution may include the following components:
● Polycom® Distributed Media Application™ (DMA™) system - Provides call control and MCU
virtualization with carrier-grade redundancy, resiliency and scalability.
Connection to RealPresence DMA MCU Pools and DMA Cascading are not supported on
Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800 with no DSP cards.
● Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager - Centrally manages, monitors and delivers Cloud based
Video as a Service (VaaS) and enterprise video collaboration.
● Polycom® RealPresence® Access Director™ - Removes communication barriers and enables
internal and external teams to collaborate more easily and effectively over video.
● Polycom® RealPresence® Media Suite - Provides one-touch recording and secure playback on
telepresence and video conferencing systems, tablets and smart phones, or from your Web browser.
The following diagram describes the multipoint video conferencing configuration with the Collaboration
Server as a standalone system.
