Video Switching When selected, the conference is of ultra-high quality video
resolution, in a special conferencing mode which implies that all
participants must connect at the same line rate and use HD video.
This feature utilizes the resources more wisely and efficiently by:
•Saving utilization of video ports (1 port per participant as opposed
to 4 ports in CP mode).
•Video display is in full screen mode only.
Drawbacks of this feature are that all participants must connect at the
same line rate, (e.g. HD) and all participants with endpoints not
supporting HD will connect as secondary (audio only).
Video layout changes are not enabled during a conference.
Video Switching supports the following resolutions:
•MPM:
•HD 720P
•MPM+:
•HD 1080p
•MPMx:
•1080p60
•720p30
•720p60
•SD30
If HD 1080p is selected, endpoints that do not support HD 1080p
resolution are connected as Secondary (Audio Only) participants.
Note: Video Switching conferencing mode is unavailable to ISDN
participants.
For more information, see "Video Resolutions in AVC-based CP
Conferencing” on page 3-1.
