TIP Layout Support & Resource Usage
Cisco Telepresence endpoints using TIP protocol support only one (CTS 1000) or three (CTS 
3000) display screens. Therefore, Polycom Telepresence endpoints will adjust their display 
to use one or three screens as follows:
• OTX system - works with three screens, therefore no adjustment is required and it 
should be set to work in room switch Telepresence Layout Mode (while avoiding 
zooming in/out)
• RPX 2xx - This endpoint works with two screens, therefore it will adjust to use only one 
screen.
• RPX 4xx - This endpoint works with four screens, therefore it will adjust to use only 
three screens.
• Standalone HDX - behaves as the CTS 1000 and uses only one screen.
• Group system 300/500 - behaves as the CTS 1000 and uses only one screen.
The Polycom MLA Server manages the conference template layouts for Telepresence 
systems. 
The number of screens used by each TIP-enabled endpoint is determined during the 
capabilities exchange phase of the dial-in connection. It affects the usage and allocation of 
resources used with TIP-enabled endpoints.
