Multipoint Recording and Live streaming Resource Usage

The archives recorded with a VRR should be deleted before you can delete the VRR.
Multipoint recording allows you to set up a conference between two sites
and record or live stream the conference video without needing a MCU. The
multipoint recording is activated when two participants connect to a
multipoint recording room on the Polycom® RSS™ 4000 system.
Each participant in a multipoint recording sees the peer site image. If only
one participant connects, the participant's screen displays the loopback
image. When the recording or live streaming is ended, the system generates
the video files with the combined images of two sites displaying side-by-side
or alternately. If H.239 content is being sent during a recording, the content
image is also shown in the conference and recorded.
During a multipoint recording, both sites can display and interact with the
system TV user interface for managing the recording, but only one site can
control at a time. For more information about the TV UI, refer to TV User
Interface Operation.
Polycom RMX series systems that support the Recording Link can be
connected to the multipoint meeting room as a participant as well.
The multipoint recording has the following limitations:

The quick code is not supported for archives generated from the multipoint
recordings for playback.

Participants in a multipoint recording cannot view archives stored in the system
through the TV interface.
A multipoint recording utilizes the same resources as a single point
recording. The system supports up to 15 multipoint recording sessions
simultaneously.
For a multipoint recording with live streaming, the resources used by the
system vary according to the video resolution, call rate, and the video layout
of the recording. Different models of the Polycom® RSS™ 4000 have
different resource capacity. The following table shows the relationship
between the streaming properties and maximum number of multipoint live
streaming the different model systems support:
