● Video Switching uses fewer system resources than CP: only one CIF video resource per participant
for any resolution (including HD). The table below lists the resources available to VSW conferences
by line rate and card type.
*
Capacity numbers are for maximum capacity card assemblies. These numbers may be lower when LPR and/or
encryption are enabled.
The following table lists the recommended number of connections at HD1080p resolution for fully
configured and licenced RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) systems with MPMx cards. For
detailed resource capacity information see the relevant Collaboration Server Hardware Guide.

● The maximum supported video conference size is 180 participants with the MPMx card.
● The display aspect ratio is 4x3 or 16x9.
● Site (endpoint) names, skins, message overlay etc. are not supported in Video Switching.
● Video forcing is enabled at the conference and participant levels.

a VSW conference consumes one HD720 port.
