default.

Optimized for smooth motion video (CIF/SIF for low bandwidths, iCIF/iSIF for
high bandwidths).
Sharpness
Optimized for sharp video (4CIF/4SIF, SVGA, XGA).
Auto
The system chooses the best of Motion or Sharpness depending on picture
layout and bandwidth.
4.4.5.1 Intelligent Video Management (IVM)
It is possible to configure the picture sent from the system depending upon specific requirements
and applications adding an additional level of flexibility and adaptability.
Generally, the IVM will always try to transmit the format closest to the video input format. Each
video input can be configured to either motion or sharpness:
Motion*:
When there is a need for higher frame rates, typically when a large number of participants are
present or when there is a lot of motion in the picture.
