Table of contents Introduction
Optimal definition profiles
Under ideal lighting conditions the bandwidth (call rate)
requirements can be substantially reduced.
The optimal definition profile should reflect the lighting
conditions in your room and the quality of the video input
(camera); the better the lighting conditions and video input,
the higher the profile. Then, in good lighting conditions, the
video encoder will provide better quality (higher resolution or
frame rate) for a given call rate.
In general, we recommend the optimal definition profile set
to Medium. However, if lighting conditions are very good or
bad we recommend that you test the endpoint on the various
Optimal Definition Profile settings before deciding on a profile.
Go to Advanced Configuration on the web interface and
navigate to Video > Input > Source [1..n] > OptimalDefinition >
Profile to select the preferred optimal definition profile.
You can set a resolution threshold below which the maximum
frame rate will be 30 fps.
Go to Advanced Configuration on the web interface and
navigate to Video > Input > Source [1..n] > OptimalDefinition >
Threshold60fps to set the threshold.
The video input quality settings must be set to Motion for the
optimal definition settings to take any effect. With the video
input quality set to Sharpness, the endpoint will transmit the
highest resolution possible, regardless of frame rate.
Go to Advanced Configuration on the web interface and
navigate to Video > Input > Source [1..n] > Quality
video quality parameter to Motion.
You can read more about these video settings in the
Advanced settings chapter.
