• Select the video protocol and resolution for the conference.
Resolutions supported by MPM+ and MPMx cards only:
• H.264 1080p60

When selected, the conference is in a special conferencing mode 
which implies that all participants must connect at the same line rate 
and use the same video resolution. Participants with endpoints that 
do not support the selected line rate and resolution will connect as 
secondary (audio only).
For more information, see "Video Switching (VSW) Conferencing” on 
page 2-6.
Notes: 
• Video Switching conferencing mode is unavailable to ISDN 
participants.
• To connect to a Video Switching conference via Entry Queue, the 
Profile assigned to the Entry Queue must be set to Video 
Switching. It is recommended to use the same profile for both the 
destination conference and Entry Queue.
• Telepresence Mode is unavailable in Video Switching 
conferences.
H.264 High Profile Select this check box to enable the use of H.264 High Profile in Video 
Switching conferences. 
The High Profile check box is only displayed if MPMx cards are 
installed in the RMX. By default the High Profile check box is not 
selected. 
If H.264 is not the selected video protocol the check box is inactive 
(grayed out). For more information, see "H.264 High Profile Support 
in Video Switching Conferences” on page 2-62.
Operator Conference This option is disabled when VSW is selected as the Conferencing 
Mode.

Field/Option Description
Selecting a new conference line rate lower than the initial line rate selected for the conference (for 
example, changing from 4096 kbps to 1532 kbps) may result in system reverting to the default 
resolution for that line rate (for example, 720p instead of 1080p). You may need to select the 
required resolution again, provided the selected line rate is higher than the minimum threshold line 
rate defined for that resolution in the system configuration. For more details, see “Minimum 
Threshold Line Rate System Flags” below.
