High-Profile Call Speeds and Resolutions The following table includes the H.264 high-profile resolutions and frame rates sent in calls between two RealPresence Group Series systems. Resolutions and frame rates are based on the call speed and the Optimized for setting of your video input.
Page 368: Multipoint Resolutions For High Definition Video
1920x1080 Multipoint Resolutions for High Definition Video Polycom supports high definition (HD) multipoint resolutions, which improve video quality in multipoint conferences and increases maximum transmitting and receiving video resolutions. During a multipoint video conference, if any endpoints in the conference do not support high resolution video and transmit lower resolution video, all endpoints receive lower resolution video.
Page 369: Resolution And Frame Rates For Content Video
The high frame rates with high resolution apply only to point-to-point calls above 832 kbps on RealPresence Group Series systems. In addition, you must set Optimized for value of your Camera input to Sharpness. Low frame rates apply if your call does not meet these requirements.
