Meeting rooms with previous-generation systems do not have to be thrown away. They join Zoom meetings with one button through a node in your network, and one consolidated stream goes out.
Conference Room Connector, CRC, is a bridge between standards-based SIP and H.323 video systems and Zoom meetings. In the cloud version the system dials a Zoom address and joins a meeting or webinar, and when registered to Zoom's SIP proxy it also gets device management, calendar integration and call control.
CRC Hybrid moves that work to a Zoom Node in your network. Meeting rooms connect to the local node, the node takes their streams, multiplexes them and sends one consolidated connection to the Zoom cloud. By default a module holds up to 8 simultaneous HD rooms, and modules can be added. As with Meetings Hybrid, hybrid and private meetings are supported, but CRC Hybrid works on its own and does not require Meetings Hybrid.
Inside the meeting the room systems have chat, reactions, layout control and one-button join. Together with API Connector Hybrid the schedule from the calendar reaches the system. For new meeting rooms there is Zoom Rooms, for existing systems CRC Hybrid.
Re-equipping twenty meeting rooms is expensive. Sending twenty streams to the cloud is too. CRC Hybrid removes both questions.
SIP and H.323 systems join Zoom with one button. The investment in meeting rooms keeps working.
The node multiplexes the rooms and gives the cloud one connection. The link is not saturated by video systems.
Meetings that must not go to the cloud are available to the room systems as well. The same private mode as Meetings Hybrid.
Connection, capacity, modes, control
Standards-based video systems join Zoom meetings and webinars. Compatibility at protocol level, without replacing equipment.
Meeting rooms connect to the Zoom Node on site. The node receives, multiplexes and redistributes the streams.
By default a module holds up to 8 simultaneous HD rooms. More rooms means another module or node.
Both modes are supported. A private meeting does not send the room systems' media to the cloud.
CRC Hybrid works on its own. Meetings Hybrid is installed alongside if it is needed for the apps too.
Room systems get in-meeting chat and reactions. The meeting room takes part on a par with the apps.
Layout control from the system and one-button join by schedule. A meeting room without instructions on the wall.
With API Connector Hybrid meetings from the calendar appear on the system. One button and the room is in the right meeting.
The module is licensed separately, paid. A Zoom Node on site, SIP or H.323 systems and account administrator rights are needed. The module's system requirements are documented by Zoom.
Wherever the meeting rooms are already equipped and the platform is changing
Twenty rooms with previous-generation systems keep working. Replacement as they wear out, not all at once.
Branch systems join meetings through a node in their own network. The backbone to the cloud is not overloaded.
Private mode: the meeting rooms take part in a meeting whose media does not leave for the cloud.
New rooms on Zoom Rooms, old ones on CRC Hybrid. One platform, one schedule.
The hall's system joins a Zoom webinar as an attendee or a panelist.
Inventory of the systems and a compatibility check, sizing modules by the number of rooms, deploying the node, configuring one-button join and the calendar, training. Then support in Russian.
Dozens of rooms with previous-generation hardware.
Zoom is rolled out gradually while the old kit is still in service.
Counterparties join from their own endpoints.
We'll give you a remote demo Monday to Friday, 10:00–16:00 Moscow time, answer all your questions and provide trial access so you can explore the system yourself.
