Chapter 3-Video Protocols and Resolution Configuration for CP Conferencing

Limiting Maximum Resolution

Before a selection is made in this pane, the Maximum CP Resolution of the system is determined by the MAX_CP_RESOLUTION System Flag.

The MAX_CP_RESOLUTION flag value is applied to the system during First Time Power-onand after a system upgrade. The default value is HD1080p60.

All subsequent changes to the Maximum CP Resolution of the system are made by selections in this pane.

Maximum Resolution

Maximum Resolution can be limited per conference or per participant endpoint.

The Maximum Conference Resolution, can be limited via the Profile - Video Quality dialog box. For more information see "Defining New Profiles” on page 2-18.

The Maximum Resolution can further be limited per participant endpoint via the Participant - Properties dialog box. For more information see "Managing the Address Book” on page 8-7.

Resolution Configuration Pane

The user can select from 3 pre-defined Resolution Configurations or select a manual Resolution Slider adjustment mode. The pre-defined settings can be accepted without modification or be used as the basis for manual fine tuning of resolution settings by the administrator.

The Manual radio button is automatically selected if any changes are made to the Resolution Sliders.

The Resolution Configurations are:

Resource-Quality Balanced (default)

A balance between the optimized video quality and optimized resource usage. This is the only available resolution configuration in version 6.0.x and earlier.

Use this option:

When the priority is to maintain a balance between resource usage and video quality.

When it is necessary to maintain backward compatibility with previous versions.

When working with CMA.

The Balanced settings are described in the section: "The CP Resolution Decision Matrix” on page 3-4.

Resource Optimized

System resource usage is optimized by allowing high resolution connections only at high line rates and may result in lower video resolutions (in comparison to other resolution configurations) for some line rates.

Use this option when the priority is to save MCU resources and increase the number of participant connections.

The Resource Optimized settings are described in the section: "The CP Resolution Decision Matrix” on page 3-4.
