Using Non-SIP Components
You can connect to OpenScape video solution using non-SIP components and signaling, including H.323
signaling, proprietary signaling, legacy ISDN non-IP systems, and dual video solutions that use H.323 and
SIP. You can adapt, extend, or overlay the OpenScape video solution with your existing non-SIP video
deployments.
Connecting H.323 Video Endpoints OpenScape Video
You can use SIP signaling to connect H.323 video endpoints to the OpenScape Video solution in the
following example scenarios:
• You can use a Polycom RMX system to connect H.323 video to SIP video endpoints registered to
OpenScape Video.
• You can use the Polycom DMA system to support an H.323/SIP Gateway.
• You can support H.323 endpoints by using the RMX as a bridge.
• You can support H.323 endpoints by using the DMA system as the gateway.
