Description

 

 

 

 

Pro-Motion

Interlaced Video is enabled only in the Video

 

 

Switching mode.

 

 

Pro-Motion is a video encoding mechanism that

 

 

improves the video quality in Video Switching (VSW)

 

 

conferences, set to NTSC or PAL (4CIF) resolution.

 

 

Select either 50 Fields (PAL) or 60 Fields (NTSC).

 

 

Pro-Motion is sent to the endpoint at 60 Fields Per

 

 

Second (FPS) for NTSC and 50 FPS for PAL

 

 

systems. The interlaced video mechanism takes two

 

 

separate video frames and merges them into a

 

 

single frame. For example, NTSC is transmitted at

 

 

30 FPS and during the process of transmission

 

 

frame A consists of “240 even” lines and frame B

 

 

consists of “240 odd” lines.

 

 

When frames A and B are merged into a single

 

 

frame, the result is total number of 480 lines. The

 

 

totals of their frame speed are also added together,

 

 

30FPS + 30FPS, resulting in a frame resolution of

 

 

60FPS.

 

 

Note: When a conference is set to any Pro-Motion

 

 

option, endpoints sending a Pro-Motion video

 

 

resolution (for example, NTSC instead of PAL or

 

 

vice-versa) or that do not send a Pro-Motion

 

 

resolution, connect as secondary (Audio Only).

 

 

 

 

Dual Stream Mode

In this mode, one of the endpoints sends two video

 

 

streams: Video and data. The video streams are

 

 

handled differently by the receiving endpoint. The

 

 

different streams may be shown on separate

 

 

screens.

 

 

Select one of the following options:

 

 

None - The Dual Video mode is unavailable. In such

 

 

a case Video Protocol is set to Auto.

 

 

H.239 and People+Content - H.239 and

 

 

People+Content are very similar in function, but

 

 

differ in the type of signaling used for each protocol.

 

 

People+Content is the Polycom proprietary protocol

 

 

while H.239 is the industry standard.
