Introduction

Video Input Connector [1..2] Quality

When encoding and transmitting video there is a trade-off between high resolution and
high frame rate. For some video sources it is more important to transmit high frame rate
than high resolution and vice versa. This setting specifies whether to give priority to high
frame rate or to high resolution.
Requires user role: ADMIN, INTEGRATOR
Default value: Connector 1: Motion Connector 2: Sharpness
Value space: Motion/Sharpness
Motion: Gives the highest possible frame rate. Used when there is a need for higher
frame rates, typically when a large number of participants are present or when there is a
lot of motion in the picture.
Sharpness: Gives the highest possible resolution. Used when you want the highest
quality of detailed images and graphics.
Video Input Connector [1..2] RGBQuantizationRange
The devices connected to the video input should follow the rules for RGB video quantization
range defined in CEA-861. Unfortunately some devices do not follow the standard and this
configuration may be used to override the settings to get a perfect image with any source.
Requires user role: ADMIN, INTEGRATOR
Default value: Connector 1: Auto Connector 2: Full
Value space: Auto/Full/Limited
Auto: RGB quantization range is automatically selected based on video format according
to CEA-861-E. CE video formats will use limited quantization range levels. IT video
formats will use full quantization range levels.
Full: Full quantization range. The R, G, B quantization range includes all code values (0 -
255). This is defined in CEA-861-E.
Limited: Limited Quantization Range. R, G, B quantization range that excludes some code
values at the extremes (16 - 235). This is defined in CEA-861-E.

Video Input Connector [1..2] Visibility
Define the visibility of the video input connector in the menus on the user interface.
Requires user role: ADMIN, INTEGRATOR
Default value: Connector 1: IfSignal Connector 2: Always
Value space: Always/IfSignal/Never
Always: The menu selection for the video input connector will always be visible on the
user interface.
IfSignal: Yhe menu selection for the video input connector will only be visible when
something is connected to the video input.
Never: The input source is not expected to be used as a presentation source, and will
not show up on the user interface.

Video Monitors

A role is assigned to each monitor using the Video Output Connector [n] MonitorRole
setting. The monitor role decides which layout (call participants and presentation) will
appear on the monitor that is connected to this output. Monitors with different monitor roles
will have different layouts. Both monitors can not have monitor role First.
The monitor layout mode that is set in the Video Monitors setting should reflect the number
of different layouts you want in your room setup. Note that some monitors can be reserved
for presentations.
Requires user role: ADMIN, INTEGRATOR
Default value: Auto
Value space: Auto/Single/Dual/DualPresentationOnly
Auto: The number of monitors connected to the codec is automatically detected, and the
layout is distributed on the monitors according to the MonitorRole settings.
Single: The layout is shown on one monitor. If two monitors are connected to the codec,
one of them will be disabled.
Dual: The layout is distributed on monitors with monitor role First and Second. If a
presentation is part of the layout, all participants in the call are shown on the monitor
with monitor role First, and the presentation is shown on the monitor with monitor role
Second.
DualPresentationOnly: All participants in the call are shown on the monitor with monitor
role First. If a presentation is part of the layout, the presentation is shown on the monitor
with monitor role Second.
