Annexes - P, N and  | Annexes are additions to the Video Format when  | 
F  | using H.263 Video Protocol and increases the  | 
  | quality of the video display.  | 
  | Annexes N, P and F are enabled only when you are  | 
  | in Video Switching mode and the Video Protocol is  | 
  | set to H.263. The Video Format may be set to QCIF,  | 
  | CIF, 4CIF, 16CIF, VGA, SVGA, XGA, or NTSC.  | 
  | When Video Format is set to Auto, the system  | 
  | selects the appropriate annexes according to the  | 
  | endpoint's capabilities. The annexes are required in  | 
  | the Dual Stream mode, but may also be selected  | 
  | independently.  | 
  | • Annex F - Advanced Prediction Mode. This  | 
  | annex enables the transmitting encoder to use  | 
  | four motion vectors for every macro block (one  | 
  | motion vector per block). A macro block is a  | 
  | piece of the picture that contains four blocks.  | 
  | Without this annex, the transmitting encoder can  | 
  | only choose one motion vector for optimal  | 
  | prediction of the macro block.  | 
  | • Annex N - Reference Picture Selection Mode.  | 
  | This annex enables the conference to recover  | 
  | efficiently after transmission errors have  | 
  | occurred in the macro blocks, and reported via a  | 
  | relevant message to the speaker encoder.  | 
  | • Annex P - Reference Picture   | 
  | annex enables the transmitting encoder to apply  | 
  | a   | 
  | reference picture in order to generate a warped  | 
  | picture, for use in predicting the current picture.  | 
  | The main purpose of this annex is to support the  | 
  | relationship of the current picture to a previous  | 
  | picture, which had a different source format,  | 
  | such as CIF, QCIF, 4CIF, etc.  |
