Chapter 3-Video Protocols and Resolution Configuration for CP Conferencing

Resolution Configuration for CP Conferences

The Resolution Configuration dialog box enables RMX administrators to override the default video resolution decision matrix, effectively creating their own decision matrix. The minimum threshold line rates at which endpoints are connected at the various video resolutions can be optimized by adjusting the resolution sliders.

System resource usage is also affected by the Resolution Configuration settings. For more information see "Video Resource Usage” on page 3-5and "Default Minimum Threshold Line Rates and Resource Usage Summary” on page 3-12.

Guidelines

•Resolution Slider settings affect all Continuous Presence (CP) conferences running on the RMX. Video Switched conferences are not affected.

On the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 MPMx-Q assembly, the use of HD with Continuous Presence requires an additional license. In the Resource Report and Resolution Configuration panes, HD settings are displayed but are not enabled and if HD is selected the system will enable SD by default.

•A system restart is not needed after changing the Resolution Slider settings.

•Resolution Slider settings cannot be changed if there are ongoing conferences running on the RMX.

•The displayed sliders and the resolutions change according the Card Configuration Mode: MPM, MPM+ or MPMx.

From Version 7.1, MPM media cards are not supported.

Accessing the Resolution Configuration Dialog Box

The Resolution Configuration dialog box is accessed by clicking Setup > Resolution

Configuration in the RMX Setup menu.

The Resolution Configuration dialog box display changes according to the Card Configuration Mode:
