Y:\04C08060_passage\EDIT\10OTH.FM Glossary Bonding* Bonding is one of the Inverse Multiplexing methods allowing the connection of the videoconferencing system with multiple ISDN lines. Dialing the first ISDN line enables you to connect all other lines. Dialing the second and later lines is done automatically by the communication between the videoconferencing systems on both sites.
Y:\04C08060_passage\EDIT\10OTH.FM G.711 Audio encoding/decoding format recommended by the ITU-T. A phone bandwidth audio signal is converted to a digital signal with a data rate of 64 Kbps. It can be transmitted with a data rate of 56 Kbps. G.722 Audio encoding/decoding format recommended by the ITU-T. A 7-kHz bandwidth audio signal is converted to a digital signal with a data rate of 48 Kbps, 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps. G.722.1 Audio encoding/decoding format recommended by the ITU-T.
Y:\04C08060_passage\EDIT\10OTH.FM I-MUX An abbreviation for Inverse Multiplexer. This protocol allows you to transmit the data at 384 Kbps via 6B-channel. Interlaced SIF With TV pictures, 60 fields of pictures per second are interlaced to provide high resolution and smooth motion pictures. The conventional videoconferencing system uses CIF format pictures (352 pixel × 388 line) transmitted in 30 fields per second. In CIF format, smooth motion pictures like TV pictures cannot be obtained.
