Video Protocols and Resolution Configuration for CP Conferencing

The Resolution Configurations are:

Resource-Quality Balanced (default)

A balance between the optimized video quality and optimized resource usage.

Use this option:

When the priority is to maintain a balance between resource usage and video quality.

When it is necessary to maintain backward compatibility with previous versions.

When working with Polycom DMA/RealPresence Resource Manager.

The Balanced settings are described in the section: Default Minimum Threshold Line Rates and Resource Usage Summary.

Resource Optimized

System resource usage is optimized by allowing high resolution connections only at high line rates and may result in lower video resolutions (in comparison to other resolution configurations) for some line rates.

Use this option when the priority is to save MCU resources and increase the number of participant connections.

The Resource Optimized settings are described in the section: Default Minimum Threshold Line Rates and Resource Usage Summary.

Video Quality Optimized

Video is optimized through higher resolution connections at lower line rates increasing the resource usage at lower line rates. This may decrease the number of participant connections.

Use this option when the priority is to use higher video resolutions while decreasing the number of participant connections.

The Video Quality Optimized settings are described in the section: Default Minimum Threshold Line Rates and Resource Usage Summary.
