Video Input Source [1..2] OptimalDefinition Profile
The Video Input Source Quality setting must be set to Motion for the optimal definition settings
to take any effect.
The optimal definition profile should reflect the lighting conditions in your room and the quality
of the video input (camera); the better the lighting conditions and video input, the higher the
profile. Then, in good lighting conditions, the video encoder will provide better quality (higher
resolution or frame rate) for a given call rate.
Generally, we recommend using the Normal or Medium profiles. However, when the lighting
conditions are good, the High profile can be set in order to increase the resolution for a given
call rate.
Some typical resolutions used for different optimal definition profiles, call rates and transmit
frame rates are shown in the table below. It is assumed that dual video is not used. The
resolution must be supported by both the calling and called systems.
Use the Video Input Source OptimalDefinition Threshold60fps setting to decide when to use the
60 fps frame rate.

Value space: <Normal/Medium/High>
Normal: Use this profile for a normally to poorly lit environment. Resolutions will be set rather
conservative.
Medium: Requires good and stable lighting conditions and a good quality video input. For
some call rates this leads to higher resolution.
High: Requires nearly optimal video conferencing lighting conditions and a good quality video
input in order to achieve a good overall experience. Rather high resolutions will be used.

Video Input Source [1..2] OptimalDefinition Threshold60fps
For each video input, this setting tells the system the lowest resolution where it should transmit
60 fps. So for all resolutions lower than this, the maximum transmitted frame rate would be
30 fps, while above this resolution 60 fps will also be possible, if the available bandwidth is
adequate.

Value space: <512_288/768_448/1024_576/1280_720/1920_1080/Never>
512_288: Set the threshold to 512x288.
768_448: Set the threshold to 768x448.
1024_576: Set the threshold to 1024x576.
1280_720: Set the threshold to 1280x720.
1920_1080: Set the threshold to 1920x1080.
Never: Do not set a threshold for transmitting 60fps.

Video Input Source [1..2] Quality
6 Mbps
When encoding and transmitting video there will be 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. The Quality setting specifies whether to give priority to high
frame rate or to high resolution for a given source.
Priority is always given to high frame rate for the video system's internal camera, therefore
Quality is fixed to Motion for

1280 × 720
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.
