Using Conference Profiles - Polycom realpresence 1800 Administrator's Manual

Using Conference Profiles

Conference Profiles include conference parameters such as Conferencing Mode, conference line rate,
video and content sharing resolutions and settings, video layout, encryption, Lost Packet Recovery (LPR),
etc. Profiles eliminate the need to define these parameters for each new conference created on the MCU.
They are stored on the Collaboration Server and they enable you to define all types of conferences.
Conference Profiles are assigned to Conferences, Meeting Rooms, Reservations and Entry Queues. The
same Profile can be assigned to different conferencing entities. When modifying the Profile parameters, the
changes will be applied to all the conferencing entities to which the profile is assigned.
Conference Profile options differ according to the selected Conferencing Mode. Profiles can be defined for
AVC (Advanced Video Codec) CP and VSW, SVC (Scalable Video Codec), or Mixed CP and SVC
conferencing modes.
Conference Profiles can be saved to Conference Templates along with all participant parameters, including
their Personal Layout and Video Forcing settings. It enables administrators and operators to create, save,
schedule and activate identical conferences quickly and easily.
Note: Resource Capacities and Operational Specifications
For information about Resource Capacities and other operational specifications, see the
RealPresence® Collaboration Server (RMX) Hardware Guide specific to your system.
Note: Using Profiles with RealPresence DMA
In the Polycom® RealPresence® Web Suite solution, the Conference Profiles are defined in the
RealPresence DMA system component and should not be defined directly in the RealPresence
Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800/2000/4000 component.
Conferencing Parameters Defined in a Profile
When defining a new video Profile, you select the parameters that determine the video display on the
participant's endpoint and the quality of the video, according to the selected Conferencing Mode. When
defining a new conference Profile, the system uses default values for the selected conferencing Mode.
