Maximum CP Resolution Pane
In MPMx Card Configuration Mode the Collaboration Server can be set to one of the following
Maximum CP Resolutions:
HD 1080p60
HD 1080p30
HD 720p30
•SD 30
•CIF 30
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.
For more information see "Limiting Maximum Resolution” on page 3-16.
Resolution Configuration Pane
The Resolution Configuration pane and its selection options in MPMx Card Configuration Mode
behave in the same manner as for MPM and MPM+ Card Configuration Modes as described in
the “Resolution Configuration Pane” section on page 3-16.
Resolution Configuration - Detailed
H.264 High Profile allows higher quality video to be transmitted at lower bit rates.
However, setting minimum bit rate thresholds that are lower than the default may affect the
video quality of endpoints that do not support the H.264 High Profile. The Collaboration
Server uses two decision matrices (Base Profile, High Profile) to enable endpoints to connect
according to their capabilities.
Sharpness and Motion
Sharpness and Motion are Video Quality settings that are selected per conference and are
defined in the conference Profile. A conference with Sharpness selected in its Profile uses the
Sharpness settings of the Resolution Configuration and a conference with Motion selected in its
Profile uses the Motion settings of the Resolution Configuration dialog box.
The Sharpness and Motion tabs in the Resolution Configuration dialog box allow the user to
view and modify Resolution Configuration settings for conferences with either Video Quality
setting.
Resolution Configuration Sliders
The Detailed Configuration dialog box allows the administrator to configure minimum
connection threshold bit rates for endpoints that support H.264 High Profile and those that
do not support H.264 High Profile by using the following slider panes:
Base Profile - Endpoints that do not support H.264 High Profile connect at these
minimum threshold bit rates.
