Chapter 20-RMX Administration and Utilities
Maximum Number of Resources
from License and Hardware
On the RMX1500 MPMx-Q assembly, the use of HD with Continuous Presence requires an
additional license. In the Resource Report and Resolution Configuration panes, HD settings are
displayed but are not enabled and if HD is selected the system will enable SD by default.
Fixed Resource Capacity mode displays five sliders, one for each resource type: Audio
Only, CIF, SD, HD 720p 30fps, HD 1080p / HD 720p 60fps (HD 1080p / HD 720p 60fps
resources are represented on the same slider) where each type requires different
number of video resources (in CIF ports) for connecting endpoints.
— The first time the Fixed Resource Capacity is selected, all resources are allocated to
HD720p30 by default.
— If the allocation mode was previously Fixed or if it was Auto but Fixed had been
selected in the past, the previous resource allocations in the mode are displayed.
The maximum number of allocatable resources of each type per fully licenced RMX
with either MPM+ or MPMx cards is described in Table 20-3, “Resource Capacities for
Full Capacity RMX per Resolution in CP,” on page 20-6. The Max Resolution setting of the
Resolution Configuration dialog box does not affect resource allocation.
Example: If it is set to SD30, the HD 1080p slider is still displayed and HD 1080
resources can be allocated. However, HD 1080 participants will connect at SD30
resolution.
Using the sliders, the administrator can manually allocate resources to the various
types of video resolutions and Audio Only connections that can be used by connecting
endpoints.
3 Move the blue slider buttons to allocate resources.
As all the resources are allocated when the dialog box opens, you must first free
resources of one type by moving the blue slider button to the left, and then move blue
slider button of the required resource type to the number of resources to be allocated.
