Resolution Configuration for CP Conferences

The Resolution Configuration dialog box enables you to override the default video resolution decision matrix, effectively creating your own decision matrix. The minimum threshold line rates at which endpoints are connected at the various video resolutions can be optimized by adjusting the resolution sliders.

System resource usage is also affected by the Resolution Configuration settings.

For more information see Video Resource Usage and Default Minimum Threshold Line Rates and Resource Usage Summary.

Guidelines

●Resolution Slider settings affect all Continuous Presence (CP) conferences running on the Collaboration Server. Video Switched conferences are not affected.

On the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 MPMx-Q assembly, the use of HD with Continuous Presence requires an additional license. In the Resource Report and Resolution Configuration panes, HD settings are displayed but are not enabled and if HD is selected the system will enable SD by default.

●A system restart is not needed after changing the Resolution Slider settings.

●Resolution Slider settings cannot be changed if there are ongoing conferences running on the Collaboration Server. The displayed sliders and the resolutions change according the MCU type.

Modifying the Resolution Configuration

The Resolution Configuration dialog box is accessed by clicking Setup > Resolution Configuration in the Collaboration Server Setup menu.

Clicking the Detailed Configuration button toggles the display of the Detailed Configuration pane, which displays sliders for modifying minimum connection threshold line rates for endpoints that support H.264 Base Profile or High Profile. The Detailed Configuration pane can also be opened by clicking the Manual radio button in the Resolution Configuration pane.

Sharpness and Motion settings are accessed by clicking the Sharpness and Motion tabs when the Detailed Configuration is open.
