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-on
and after a system upgrade.
The default flag value is HD1080 setting the Maximum CP Resolution value in the Resolution
Configuration dialog box to 1080p60.
All subsequent changes to the Maximum CP Resolution of the system are made by selections
in this pane.
The Maximum Resolution can further 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 page2-9.
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 page8-7.
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.
The Balanced settings are described in the section: "Default Minimum Threshold Line Rates
and Resource Usage Summary” on page 3-9.
•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.
The Resource Optimized settings are described in the section: "Default Minimum Threshold
Line Rates and Resource Usage Summary” on page 3-9.
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 Polycom DMA/RealPresence Resource Manager.
Use this option when the priority is to save MCU resources and increase the number of participant
connections.
