H.264 High Profile is supported in VSW conferences:
— With MPMx cards.
— In H.323 and SIP networking environments only (VSW conferences are not
supported in ISDN networking environments.)
For H.264 High Profile-enabled VSW conferences:
— All endpoints connecting to the conference must support High Profile.
— High Profile-enabled endpoints must connect to the VSW conference at the exact line
rate and exact resolution defined for the conference.
— Endpoints that do not support High Profile, connecting to the VSW conference at
the exact line rate and exact resolution defined for the conference are connected to
the conference as Secondary (audio only).
For H.264 Base Profile VSW conferences:
— High Profile supporting and non-High Profile supporting endpoints connect to the
VSW conference using the H.264 Base Profile video protocol.
— Endpoints that do not support the exact conference line rate are disconnected.
— Endpoints that do not support the exact video settings such as protocol and
resolution defined for the conference will be connected as Secondary (audio only).
