Video Protocol

H264* - H.264* incorporates DCT (H.263)

(con’t)

compression principles, but is provided at half the

 

bit rate. H.264* provides CIF/4CIF video using low

 

bit rates and implements a fixed video rate when

 

the video stream of the endpoint becomes active

 

("people"). The endpoint that supports H.264* is

 

iPower.

 

H264 - The H.264 standard provides better

 

compression of video images in lower line rate

 

connections and is part of the Highest Common

 

mechanism in Video Switching conferences.

 

When the conference line rate is up to 384 Kbps,

 

and the Video Protocol is set to Auto (in both VSW

 

and CP conferences) the system tries to connect

 

the participant using H.264 video protocol first.

 

Only if the endpoint does not support H.264, the

 

system tries to connect the participant using H.263

 

or H.261.

 

When H.264 is selected, the Video Format is

 

disabled and set to Auto.

 

Notes:

 

When selecting the H.261 or H.263, the system

 

regards it as a fixed format and disables the

 

dynamic adjustment of the highest common

 

video.

 

The dynamic adjustment of the video protocol

 

applies only to H.320 (ISDN) participants.

 

The dynamic adjustment of the video protocol

 

supports only 30 frames per second in CIF format.

 

All other H.263 capabilities are disabled.
