Version 2.0 of Polycom's RMX 2000 high definition video conferencing system is now available in Australia. Available through certified Polycom channel partners and priced from US$66,250 in the Asia Pacific, the RMX 2000 is the most advanced and flexible multipoint video conferencing solution in the market today claims the company.
The real-time multi-point, high-definition video, voice and unified
(voice and video) collaboration system is designed to work with unified
communication environments from Avaya and IBM. Built on an Advanced
Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA), the RMX 2000 is a real-time
media conferencing platform optimised for use on IP networks and
designed from the ground up to be the collaboration heart of a unified
communications network, says the Polycom.
"We believe the RMX 2000 is the most advanced and flexible multipoint
video conferencing solution in the market today," said Michael Chetner,
ANZ Country Manager, Polycom. "Although the RMX is a platform designed
for the next generation of HD video conferencing and telepresence
applications, we have not forgotten that the majority of customers
today are using lower resolution endpoints or mixed-endpoint
environments. The RMX 2000 can scale capacity to efficiently and
cost-effectively provide the optimal experience for every type of
endpoint in a call, whatever the resolution, making it ideal for the
majority of real-world video conferencing environments today, as well
as next-generation HD video environments."
The new software introduces true HD conferencing with full transcoding
on the existing RMX 2000 media processing module hardware and
importantly allows you to combine endpoints with different resolutions
on the same conference. This means you can combine full-room conference
systems with desktop end-points in the same call.
In conjunction with a new E1/T1 interface card,
it also expands the system's voice conferencing capabilities with up to 400
PSTN or VoIP audio resources. The system features dynamic configuration
of audio and video resources, allowing it to scale from 20 to 400 audio
resources depending on the configuration of voice and video devices, as
well as the video resolution selected.
Capacity of the RMX 2000 scales based on the resolution demands of
each endpoint in a call (HD and non-HD endpoints), making it a
cost-effective and efficient solution for customers with mixed
deployments.
Capabilities enabled in RMX 2000 Version 2.0 support the impending
mainstreaming of mission critical video across and among enterprises.
As a result, RMX 2000 Version 2.0 integrates with Polycom's strategic
alliance partners in the service provider IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
infrastructure, IP PBX, and presence-based collaboration markets.
Today, RMX 2000 Version 2.0 enables integration with the Avaya Video
Telephony Solution and IBM Lotus Sametime and Lotus Notes applications
making Polycom voice and video conferencing capabilities instantly
accessible within these unified communications environments.
RMX Version 2.0 software also adds support for 11 additional
languages (supporting 12 total), enabling the RMX 2000 to be localised
as a solution for global and international organisations. Languages
supported include English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
Japanese, Russian, German, Korean, Spanish, French, Italian,
Portuguese, and Norwegian.
