NO ONE!! The RMX is the only HD MCU that will give you more resources and dynamically balance resources in a mixed environment Port is a Port not a great investment for mixed environments Video Port required for Content: From Codian documentation: Port usage, Port reservation mode If the MCU is operating in reserved mode, enabling H.239 for a conference requires the use of an additional video port. A single video port is needed for all content channel and H.239 operations,
