Polycom RMX 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide
Resolution Configuration for CP Conferences
The Resolution Configuration dialog box enables the RMX administrators to override the
default video resolution decision matrix, effectively creating their own decision matrix. The
minimum threshold line rates at which endpoints are connected at the various video
resolutions can be optimized by adjusting the resolution sliders.
System resource usage is also affected by the Resolution Configuration settings. For more
information see "Video Resource Usage” on page 2-4 and "Default Minimum Threshold Line
Rates and Resource Usage Summary” on page 2-11.
Guidelines
• Resolution Slider settings affect all Continuous Presence (CP) conferences running on the
RMX. Video Switched conferences are not affected.
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.
• A system restart is not needed after changing the Resolution Slider settings.
• Resolution Slider settings cannot be changed if there are ongoing conferences running on
the RMX.
• The displayed sliders and the resolutions change according the Card Configuration Mode:
MPM, MPM+ or MPMx.
From Version 7.1, MPM media cards are not supported.
Accessing the Resolution Configuration Dialog Box
The Resolution Configuration dialog box is accessed by clicking Setup > Resolution
Configuration in the RMX Setup menu.
The Resolution Configuration dialog box display changes according to the Card Configuration
Mode:
• MPM and MPM+
• MPMx - supports H.264 High Profile
