You can now stream live meetings (MCU calls), point to point calls (endpoint
to RSS), and on demand meeting archives to leading 3rd party media servers,
such as Wowza, QuickTime Streaming Server, IIS7 Media Service (smoothly
streaming only) and Windows Media Server. This feature expands the
streaming audience capacity of the Polycom RSS 4000 system.
Users can watch these streams and on demand meeting archives hosted on
external media servers from within the Admin UI, or from the Viewer Portal.
You can also save recordings to your FTP servers, or to the FTP servers
installed with the external media servers, and then view the recordings on
demand.
To stream meetings to an external server, you must first configure the external server,
and then select a VRR that selects the option Enable External Media Servers.
If your organization also deploys a Polycom Real Presence Media Manager (PRMM,
version 6 or later), you can leverage its more powerful content management capability
to view the RSS 4000 live WMV streams.
