Polycom 2000 User Manual

For the MCU to run HD Video Switching conferences the following 

criteria must be met:
•

The HD_THRESHOLD_BITRATE flag must be set in the System 

Configuration. The value of this flag is the system minimum threshold 

bit rate. 

•

The line rate selected in the conference Profile must be the same as or 

higher than that specified by the HD_THRESHOLD_BITRATE flag.

•

The High Definition Video Switching option must be selected in the 

profile. For more information see "Defining Profiles” on page

•

The RMX 2000 must have available resources (ports).

•

The endpoints must support HD.

Click Setup>System Configuration.

The System Flags dialog box opens.

Set the HD_THRESHOLD_BITRATE flag to the required line rate 

value (range 384kbps to 4Mbs, default is 768 Kbps).

Click OK.
The MCU must be reset the MCU for flag changes to take effect.
For more information see "System Configuration” on page

An HD Video Switching enabled Profile must be created prior to running 

HD Video Switching conferences.
High Definition Video Switching conferences, Entry Queues and Meeting 

Rooms are created by selecting an HD Video Switching-enabled Profile 

and must be set to the same line rate as the target conference.
To connect to an HD Video Switching conference via an Entry Queue, the 

Entry Queue must be HD Video Switching enabled. It is recommended to 

use the same Profile for both the target conference and Entry Queue.

The HD_THRESHOLD_BIT RATE flag is responsible for negotiation only,
It does not guarantee that the endpoint will open an HD channel or transmit on 
an opened HD channel.
