Appendix H - Deployment Into Microsoft Environments
Polycom®, Inc. 995
Deployment Architecture 1 - RealPresence Hosted
Conferences
Lync 2013 clients connect to a conference hosted on a Polycom Collaboration Server.
With this deployment architecture:
● The SVC Codec’s Temporal Scaling capability is used to send one video stream to and from the
Collaboration Server for each resolution at multiple frame rates.
● H.264 SVC uses H.264 SEI messages to send stream layout information rather than SDP messages.
● There is one audio stream per direction.
● Lync clients place calls to a Virtual Meeting Room provisioned on the DMA, for example,
1234@video.domain.com
● The Collaboration Server can connect Lync 2013 participants to either mixed AVC/SVC or to AVC
only conferences.
● Lync 2013 clients dialing to a VMR, where the type of the conference is SVC/AVC mixed and AVC
CP only have their video decoded. The Collaboration Server sends encoded video to Lync 2013
participants.
