RMX Telepresence Mode Guidelines
System Level
• The RMX system must be licensed for Telepresence Mode.
• The system must be activated with a Telepresence enabled license key.
Conference Level
•The Telepresence Mode and Telepresence Layout Mode fields are only displayed in the
Conference Profile dialog box if the RMX has a Telepresence license installed.
•A Telepresence conference must have Telepresence Mode enabled in its profile.
•In Telepresence Mode, ITP sites are automatically detected.
• When Telepresence mode is selected in a conference profile, the following options are
disabled:
— borders
— site names
— speaker indication
— skins
— same layout
— presentation mode
— auto layout
— lecture mode
• The master (center) camera is used for video, audio and content.
• Conference Templates can be used to simplify the setting up Telepresence conferences
where precise participant layout and video forcing settings are crucial. Conference
Templates:
— Save the conference Profile.
— Save all participant parameters including their Personal Layout and Video Forcing
settings.
• An ongoing Telepresence conference can be saved to a Conference Template for later re-
use.
For more information see "Conference Templates” on page 11-1.
Room (Participant/Endpoint) Level
• To the RMX, each camera in a Telepresence room is considered to be an endpoint and is
configured as a participant.

system is not licensed for Telepresence this field is automatically set to None.
• Telepresence participants (endpoints) must be specified as:
— RPX – transmitting 4:3 video
or
— TPX – transmitting 16:9 video
