Guidelines

•Only H.264 Base and High Profile video protocols are supported in Video Switching Conferences.

•Video Switching conferences can be set to one of the following resolutions, depending on the capabilities of the endpoints connecting to the conference:

—H.264 1080p60 (Symmetrically, at bit rates of up to 6Mbps).

—HD1080p60

—H.264 1080p30

—H.264 720p30

—H.264 720p60

—H.264 SD 30

—H.264 CIF (from version 7.6)

—H.263 CIF (from version 7.6)

—H.261 CIF (from version 7.6)

•Video Switching conferencing mode is unavailable to ISDN participants.

•Video Switching uses fewer system resources than CP: only one CIF video resource per participant for any resolution (including HD). Table 2-1 lists the resources available to VSW conferences by line rate and card type.
