The Resolution Configuration pane and its selection options in MPMx Card Configuration Mode behave in the same manner as for MPM and MPM+ Card Configuration Modes as described in the “Resolution Configuration Pane” section on page 3-15.

Resolution Configuration - Detailed

H.264 High Profile allows higher quality video to be transmitted at lower bit rates.

However, setting minimum bit rate thresholds that are lower than the default may affect the video quality of endpoints that do not support the H.264 High Profile. The RMX uses two decision matrices (Base Profile, High Profile) to enable endpoints to connect according to their capabilities.

Sharpness and Motion

Sharpness and Motion are Video Quality settings that are selected per conference and are defined in the conference Profile. A conference with Sharpness selected in its Profile uses the Sharpness settings of the Resolution Configuration and a conference with Motion selected in its Profile uses the Motion settings of the Resolution Configuration dialog box.

The Sharpness and Motion tabs in the Resolution Configuration dialog box allow the user to view and modify Resolution Configuration settings for conferences with either Video Quality setting.

Resolution Configuration Sliders

The Detailed Configuration dialog box allows the administrator to configure minimum connection threshold bit rates for endpoints that support H.264 High Profile and those that do not support H.264 High Profile by using the following slider panes:
