Resource Capacities in AVC CP, SVC and Mixed Mode Conferences in
MPMRx Card Configuration Mode
The Collaboration Server Model 1800, and Models 2000/4000 Resource Capacities are set out below.
Collaboration Server 1800 Resource Capacity
The RMX 1800 system allocates port resources in AVC HD 720 p30 units. The number of unit ports each
types of calls requires differs for AVC-SVC mixed conferences and non-mixed conferences.
Listed are the resource capacities for different system configurations, licenses, and conferencing
modes.
Resource Capacity in Non-Mixed Conferences
The port consumption ratios of different calls against that of a HD 720 p30 call are as shown in this table.
In other words, to make a1080p60 call, you need four 720p 30 ports; to make a 1080p 30 call, two 720p 30
ports; and so forth.
When the required resource is not a whole number, it’s rounded up to the nearest whole number. For
example, to make an SVC call requiring1/3 of an HD 720 p30 port. In fact, one port will be allocated.
Resource Capacity in Mixed Conferences
The the port consumption of different calls in mixed conferences are shown in the following table.
In other words, to make one 720 p30 call in a mixed conference, you need two license ports; to make one
1080 p30 call, three license ports; and so forth.
When the required resource is not a whole number, it’s rounded up to the nearest whole number. For
example, to make an SVC call requiring1/3 of a license port. In fact, one port will be allocated.

media card configurations, see the Realpresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800 Hardware Guide.
