Selecting Priority of Quality Metrics for Source Video
You can favor sharpness or motion as a priority for the quality of primary video that the system sends to the far end during a call.
If you favor sharpness by selecting a smaller number for the Administrator Preferences : Video : Video Quality : Primary Video Motion preference, in lower bandwidth calls the system sends the primary video at a lower frame rate and a higher resolution.
The default value (10) favors motion.
Adjusting Video Encoder Quality
You can adjust the quality of the video image sent to the far end during a call by specifying a relative lower or higher resolution in the Administrator Preferences : Video : Video Quality : Video Encoder Quality preference.
Moving the slider to the right decreases the resolution of the video sent to the far end and improves the quality of the video image.
Consider using this preference to make minor adjustments to the quality of the video image sent to the far end.

The default value is 1 440 bytes. The allowed range is 900 to1 500 bytes.
To set the MTU for video packets, access Administrator Preferences : Video : Video Quality : Video MTU.
