H.264 High Profile Support in Video Switching Conferences

Beginning with Version 7.6, the H.264 High Profile video protocol is supported in Video
Switching (VSW) conferences.
Guidelines
•H.264 High Profile is supported in VSW conferences:
—With MPMx cards.
—In H.323 and SIP networking environments only (VSW conferences are not
supported in ISDN networking environments.)
•For H.264 High Profile-enabled VSW conferences:
—All endpoints connecting to the conference must support High Profile.
—High Profile-enabled endpoints must connect to the VSW conference at the exact line
rate and exact resolution defined for the conference.
Operator Conference
(CP Only)
Select this option to define the profile of an Operator conference.
An Operator conference can only be a Continuous Presence
conference, therefore when selected, the Video Switching option is
disabled and cleared.
When defining an Operator Conference, the Send Content to Legacy
Endpoints option in the Video Settings tab is cleared and disabled.
For more information, see Chapter 10, “Operator Assistance &
Participant Move” on page 10-1.

Field/Option Description
Selecting a new conference line rate lower than the initial line rate selected for the conference (for
example, changing from 4096 kbps to 1532 kbps) may result in system reverting to the default
resolution for that line rate (for example, 720p instead of 1080p). You may need to select the
required resolution again, provided the selected line rate is higher than the minimum threshold line
rate defined for that resolution in the system configuration. For more details, see “Minimum
Threshold Line Rate System Flags” below.
