Resolution Configuration for CP Conferences

The Resolution Configuration dialog box enables you to override the default video resolution
decision matrix, effectively creating your own decision matrix. The minimum threshold line
rates at which endpoints are connected at the various video resolutions can be optimized by
adjusting the resolution sliders.
System resource usage is also affected by the Resolution Configuration settings. For more
information see "Video Resource Usage" on page
