CP Conferencing with H.263 4CIF

The video resolution of 4CIF in H.263 endpoints is only supported for conferences in which the video quality is set to sharpness and for line rates of 384 Kbps to 1920 Kbps as shown in the following table.

Video Quality vs. Line Rate

		Video Quality
Endpoint
	Motion			Sharpness
Line Rate Kbps
	Resolution	Frame Rate	Resolution		Frame Rate
128	QCIF	30	CIF		30
256	CIF	30	CIF		30
384 - 1920+	CIF	30	4CIF		15
128			CIF		30
256			CIF		30
384 - 1920+			4CIF		15

The Collaboration Server Web Client supports monitoring of H.263 4CIF information. The H.245 or SDP tab includes the additional information.

The creation of a new H.263 4CIF slide is supported in the IVR Service in addition to the current H.263 IVR slide. If users utilize the default Polycom slides that are delivered with the Collaboration Server, the slide’s resolution will be as defined in the profile, i.e. SD, HD, CIF, etc.

For more information see Accessing the Resolution Configuration Dialog Box.
