Video Format

CIF and QCIF are video formats used in video

 

conferencing systems. Video Format specifies the

 

data rate (in number of frames per second) and

 

the resolution of each frame (number of lines in a

 

frame and the number of pixels in each line).

 

Video Format is enabled only in Video Switching

 

mode and when the Video Protocol is set to H.261

 

or H.263.

 

CIF (Common Intermediate Format) - Each frame

 

contains 288 lines and 352 pixels per line. The

 

data rate is up to 30 frames per second (FPS)

 

QCIF (Quarter Common Intermediate Format) -

 

Each frame contains 144 lines and 176 pixels per

 

line (it is one-fourth the resolution of CIF).

 

This field is disabled if the Video Protocol field is

 

set to Auto.

 

Using the H.261 protocol, you can select Auto,

 

QCIF, or CIF.

 

Select Auto to allow the system to select the

 

video format for the conference according to

 

the participants' capabilities and enable the

 

dynamic adjustment of the highest common

 

video resolution. In such a case, the system

 

will connect all the participants in CIF format.
