Telepresence Mode (AVC CP)
Collaboration Server supports the Telepresence Mode in AVC CP conferences allowing
multiple participants to join a telepresence conference from RPX and TPX high definition
rooms as well as traditional, standard definition video conferencing systems.
TPX (Telepresence) and RPX (Realpresence) room systems are configured with high
definition cameras and displays that are set up to ensure that all participants share a sense of
being in the same room.
