Field Field description Usage tips
Maximum
video size
Identifies the greatest video size that the IP VCR
will send and receive when connected to a video
endpoint.
This option is only available if the MCU 4CIF
(HRO) feature key is present.
Motion /
sharpness
trade off
Choose the unit-wide setting for motion/sharpness
trade off. The options are:
• Favor motion: the IP VCR will try and use a
high frame rate. That is, the IP VCR will
strongly favor a resolution of at least 25
frames per second
• Favor sharpness: the IP VCR will use the
highest resolution that is appropriate for
what is being viewed
• Balanced: the IP VCR will select settings
that balance resolution and frame rate
(where the frame rate will not be less than
12 frames per second)
The settings for motion (frames per second) and
sharpness (frame size or resolution) are negotiated
between the endpoint and the IP VCR. This setting
controls how the IP VCR will negotiate the settings
to be used with an endpoint.
Transmitted
video
resolutions
Choose the unit-wide setting for transmitted video
resolutions. This setting can be overridden by
individual configured endpoint settings.
Retain the default setting (Allow all resolutions)
unless you are experiencing problems with the
display of certain resolutions by endpoints.
Endpoints advertise the resolutions that they are
able to display. The IP VCR then chooses from
those advertised resolutions, the resolution that it
will use to transmit video. However, some
endpoints do not display widescreen resolutions
optimally. In these cases, you might want to use
this setting to restrict the resolutions available to
the IP VCR.
Note that you can configure this setting for
individual configured endpoints if you do not need
