Deployment Modes
G200 supports two deployment modes.
• In AVC mode, G200 is a standard H.323/SIP-based video endpoint. It works with the Polycom
RealPresence Clariti solution, standalone Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Servers (RMX), or
any compliant third-party video endpoints or MCUs.
• In SVC mode, G200 is a proprietary video endpoint that adapts H.264 SVC encoding and decoding.
It provides better error resilience and more cost-effectiveness with a high-quality video and audio
experience. The SVC-enabled G200 system is a locked system that works only with the Poly
RealPresence Clariti Ensemble solution.
For more information on the products that work with the different modes, see the Poly G200 Release
