● In SVC Only conferences and Mixed CP and SVC conferences, Auto Layout is the default and the
layout display for SVC endpoints is controlled from the endpoint application.
● Site names display on SVC endpoints is controlled from the SVC endpoints.
● When Hot backup is enabled, all the conferences are created on the Slave MCU.
Hot Backup is not supported by Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800 with no DSP cards.
● When Hot Backup is activated and the Slave MCU becomes the Master MCU:
All AVC endpoints will be reconnected to the AVC (CP and VSW) conferences. SVC endpoints
connected to AVC conferences using their AVC capabilities will be reconnected to their AVC
conferences.
SVC endpoints cannot be reconnected to their SVC Only conferences as dial-out is not supported
for SVC endpoints. These endpoints will have to manually reconnect to their SVC conferences.
● Cascading between SVC Only conferences or between AVC and SVC Only conferences is not
supported.
● Gateway sessions are not supported for SVC calls.
● Reservations cannot be scheduled for SVC Only conferences.
● The following functionality and features are not supported during SVC Only conferences:
FECC
Skins. The video cells are displayed on the endpoint's default background.
IVR functionality
Conference Gathering phase
All DTMF enabled features during the conference
Manual selection of video layout
Chairperson functionality
Media Encryption
Recording of SVC Only conferences
Text messaging using Message Overlay
MCU Supported Resolutions for SVC Conferencing
The MCU automatically selects the resolution and frame rate according to the conference line rate. The
table below details the maximum resolution and frame rates supported by the MCU for each conference line
rate. The actual video rate, resolution and frame rates displayed on each endpoints is determined by the
endpoint's capabilities.
