Polyom HDX and Lync Integration questions

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have several HDX devices throughout our Enterprise. We have now started to test Lync 2013 and obviously the question that is being asked is " Well how can we integrate this (Lync) into our existing Polycom HDX conference infrastructure and allow users to dial in to a conference room etc?"

I am reading lots of documents about Polycom CMA and DMA. Are these required to integrate Lync with Polycom HDX systems?

What about the RMX, why would I need one?

Hello OrinA,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

Using a HDX with LYNC 2013 will require a RTV license.

I would suggest you check the Polycom Unified Communications Deployment Guide for Microsoft Environments => here <= and in addition work with a Polycom reseller and/or Polycom Sales engineer.

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

Hello YashPal,

could you please check your reply before posting?

The original poster does not have an RMX but he does use LYNC 2013.

They have got HDX's already and in a LYNC 2013 Infrastructure using the HDX requires a RTV license.

This is explained in the Polycom Unified Communications Deployment Guide for Microsoft Environments => here <=:

Installing the RTV Option Key on your HDX System

Without an RTV option key, your HDX system uses H.263 and CIF resolution. If you want to support video graphics array (VGA), high-definition 720p video, or Lync multi-party calling, on your HDX system, you will need to purchase and install an RTV option key before configuring your HDX system.

Polycom HDX systems now support all RTV video resolutions for peer-to-peer Lync video calls and multi-party video conferences that you host on the Lync Audio video AVMCU. You will need to obtain the RTV option key

• LYNC 2010 supported H263
• LYNC 2013 only supports Microsofts proprietary RTV H264

Best regards
