Conference Profiles
Profiles stored on the Collaboration Server enable you to define all types of conferences.
Profiles include conference parameters such as Conferencing Mode, Conference Session
Type, Conference Line Rate, video and Video Layout, Encryption, Lost Packet Recovery
(LPR), etc.
The maximum number of Conference Profiles that can be defined is 80.
Conference Profiles are assigned to Conferences, Meeting Rooms, 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 and Conference
Type. Profiles can be defined for AVC (Advanced Video Codec) CP conferencing Mode or
SVC (Scalable Video Codec) conferencing Mode. AVC Conferencing Mode, offers two Video
Session types: Continuous Presence (CP) conferences and Video Switching (VSW)
conferences, and a special functional conference - Operator Conferences.
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. For
more information see Chapter 10, “Using Conference Templates” .
Conferencing Modes
The MCU system offers the following Conferencing Modes:
• Transcoding - AVC Conferencing
• Media Relay - SVC Conferencing
• Mixed Mode - Mixed AVC (CP) and SVC Conferencing
CP Transcoding - AVC-based Conferencing
A transcoded CP (Continuous Presence) conference is also described as an AVC (Advanced
Video Coding) conference. It supports the standard video protocols. In this mode, video is
received from all the endpoints using different line rates, different protocols (SIP, H.323)
and video parameters:
• Video protocols: H.263, H.264 Base and High profile and RTV
• Video Resolutions: from QCIF, CIF and up to 720p
• Frame rates up to 30 fps
In the RealPresence CloudAxis Solution, the Conference Profiles are defined in the RealPresence
DMA system component and should not be defined directly in the RealPresence Collaboration
Server Virtual Edition component.
