2 Polycom, Inc.
Once a video archive recorded by an RSS device is discovered by the Polycom
VMC 1000, it is transferred from the device to a central repository managed by
the Polycom VMC 1000. The managed content can then be assigned access
control parameters and published to the Polycom VMC 1000 to be accessed by
the Viewer Portal (which contains an embedded Window Media player), or by
the Windows Media Player, depending upon which option the Site
Administrator selects during setup. The following figure shows how the
Polycom VMC 1000 works as part of the Polycom video conferencing solution:
Additionally, live broadcasts can include streams from external sources such
as the Polycom Recording Studio (PRS) 2000, VBrick encoder, ViewCast
encoder, or an syndication service.
