System Overview
The Polycom
®
RealPresence Capture Server is a streaming and recording system that participates in
standards-based video and telepresence calls that can be used alone or as an integrated component of
Polycom Video Content Management solution. As a native part of the Polycom RealPresence Platform, the
RealPresence Capture Server records, archives, and streams telepresence and video conferences for
playback on a variety of client devices including tablets, smart phones, desktop computers, and
standards-based video endpoints.
The RealPresence Capture Server is typically deployed as part of a larger Polycom RealPresence Platform
solution, but it can be used as a standalone solution or with third-party systems. The Real Presence Capture
Server’s full potential can best be realized when it is integrated with the Polycom RealPresence Media
Manager.
By leveraging RealPresence Capture Server with existing telepresence systems, video conferencing
endpoints and video infrastructure, or familiar unified communications (UC) tools, your organization can
easily convert real-time conferences and events into reusable multimedia assets. Following are some
features of RealPresence Capture Server:
● It integrates with Polycom endpoints, conference platforms, and other standards-based video
endpoints for automated recording and playback.
● It supports H.323 and SIP standards for interoperability with third-party conferencing systems.
● It is available with several licenses that control the number of video calls that can be recorded, and
of those calls, the number of calls that can be streamed live for viewing on web browsers.
● It can output a maximum stream (live or video on demand) of 1080p HD (people+content combined)
● It provides access to live and video call archive streams on devices with compatible browsers
including PC, MAC, iOS, and Android devices.
● It enables you to access video call archives via any standard-based endpoint.
● It provides REST API support for third-party integrations.
