Resolution Configuration for CP Conferences
The Resolution Configuration dialog box enables Collaboration Server administrators to
override the default video resolution decision matrix, effectively creating their 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 3-5 and "Default Minimum Threshold Line
Rates and Resource Usage Summary” on page 3-13.
Guidelines
• Resolution Slider settings affect all Continuous Presence (CP) conferences running on the
Collaboration Server. Video Switched conferences are not affected.
• A system restart is not needed after changing the Resolution Slider settings.
• Resolution Slider settings cannot be changed if there are ongoing conferences running on
the Collaboration Server. The displayed sliders and the resolutions change according
the Card Configuration Mode: MPM, MPM+ or MPMx.
Accessing the Resolution Configuration Dialog Box
The Resolution Configuration dialog box is accessed by clicking Setup > Resolution
Configuration in the Collaboration Server Setup menu.
The Resolution Configuration dialog box display changes according to the Card Configuration
Mode:
• MPM and MPM+
• MPMx - supports H.264 High Profile
On the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 MPMx-Q assembly, the use of HD with
Continuous Presence requires an additional license. In the Resource Report and Resolution
Configuration panes, HD settings are displayed but are not enabled and if HD is selected the system
will enable SD by default.
From Version 7.1, MPM media cards are not supported.
From Version 8.1, MPM+ media cards are not supported.
