Resolution Configuration for CP Conferences
The Resolution Configuration dialog box enables Collaboration Server administrators to override the default
video resolution decision matrix, effectively creating their own decision matrix. The minimum threshold line
rates at which endpoints are connected at the various video resolutions can be optimized by adjusting the
resolution sliders.
System resource usage is also affected by the Resolution Configuration settings. For more information see
Video Resource Usage on page89 and Default Minimum Threshold Line Rates and Resource Usage
Summary on page 91.

●Resolution Slider settings affect all Continuous Presence (CP) conferences running on the
Collaboration Server. Video Switched conferences are not affected.
●A system restart is not needed after changing the Resolution Slider settings.
●Resolution Slider settings cannot be changed if there are ongoing conferences running on the
Collaboration Server.
