Description

 

 

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 Re-sampling. This

 

annex enables the transmitting encoder to apply

 

a re-sampling process to the previous decoded

 

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.
