Setting Call Preferences for SVC
Scalable Video Coding (SVC) conferencing for RealPresence Group Series systems provides the
following benefits:
• Fewer video resource requirements
• Better error resiliency
• Lower latency
• More flexibility with display layouts
You can make and receive SVC multipoint calls when the system is connected to an SVC-compatible
bridge through the Polycom
®
Distributed Media Application (DMA
™
). In an SVC-based conference, each
SVC-enabled endpoint transmits multiple bit streams, called simulcasting, to the Polycom RealPresence
Collaboration Server (RMX). The RealPresence Collaboration Server sends or relays selected video
streams to the endpoints without sending the entire video layout. The streams are assembled into a
layout by the SVC-enabled endpoints according to each of their different display capabilities and layout
configurations.
To make SVC point-to-point calls, the system must be registered to a Skype for Business 2015 server. In
a Skype for Business 2015 hosted multipoint or point-to-point call, you can view multiple far-end sites in
layouts. RealPresence Group 500 and 700 systems display up to five far-end sites on Skype for Business
2015 hosted (SVC) multipoint calls.
For more information on the features, limitations, and layouts of SVC-based conferencing, refer to the
Polycom RealPresence SVC-Based Conferencing Solutions Deployment Guide available at Polycom
Support.
