Telepresence Mode
RMX supports the Telepresence Mode allowing multiple participants to join a telepresence
conference from RPX and TPX high definition rooms as well as traditional, standard
definition video conferencing systems.
TPX (Telepresence) and RPX (Realpresence) room systems are configured with high
definition cameras and displays that are set up to ensure that all participants share a sense of
being in the same room.
