Users can watch these MP4 streams and on demand meeting archives hosted on external media servers from the Admin UI, or from the new Viewer portal. July 2012 3725-82817-001/A
Streaming Meetings Live in MP4 Format You can stream live meetings (MCU calls) or point to point calls (endpoint to RSS) in live, HTTP adaptive bit-rate streams (also known as HLS) MP4 format. These live streams are compatible with most PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets. Creating New Media Files On-Demand from Existing Archives Authorized users can create new media outputs on the fly from existing archives. When creating new outputs, users can change output options such as bit-rate, resolution, and layout. The system also provides pre-configured settings for popular mobile devices, for example, ipad and iphone. SNMP v3 Support The Polycom RSS 4000 version now supports SNMP v3 (Simple Network Management Protocol version 3) queries and traps with confidentiality, authentication, and integrity functions conforming to the Polycom common MIB which is also interoperable with Polycom CMA, DMA, and RMX systems Administrators can be notified of system alarms by using SNMP traps. Others The multicast IP pool is now expanded to 233.0.0.0-239.255.255.255, with the port range extended to 1-65535. Ability to send disk low warnings to the specified email address. You can also check the disk space through the Telnet console. Ability to batch download all media files available for an archive. Customer-specific enhancements, such as configurable MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size, and notifications. Meeting template enhancement, allowing users to specify whether to generate WMV video file, to restrict the recording to CIF/SIF resolution, to generate Polycom RealPresence Media Editor presentation files, or to back up all me by using the enhanced meeting template. Ability to transfer recordings to one or several FTP servers automatically upon the completion of transcoding. Ability to allow users to stop ongoing and queuing transcoding tasks. Ability to reserve meeting recordings from the new system portal. By this way, administrators can arrange recordings in advance. Their presence at the meeting is no longer necessary for the recording. 2 Polycom, Inc.

Interoperability Polycom RSS 4000 systems are tested extensively with a wide range of products. The following list is not a complete inventory of compatible equipment; it simply indicates the products that have been tested for compatibility with the release. Video conferencing systems use a variety of algorithms to compress audio and video. In a call between two systems, each end transmits audio and video using algorithms supported by the other end. In some cases, a system may transmit a different algorithm than it receives. This process occurs because each system independently selects the optimum algorithms for a particular call, and different products may make different selections. This process should not affect the quality of the call.
