Forcing Video Resource Allocation to CIF Resolution
You can set the MCU to allocate one CIF video resource to an endpoint,
regardless of the resolution determined by the Conference Profile
parameters. This forcing saves resources and enables more endpoints to
connect to conferences.
The forcing is done by modifying the system configuration and it applies
to all conferences running on the MCU.
You can specify the endpoint types for which resource allocation can be
forced to CIF resource, enabling other types of endpoints to use higher
resolutions in the same conference. For example, you can force the system
to allocate one CIF video resource to CMAD and VSX endpoints while
HDX endpoints can connect using SD or HD video resources.
Once the endpoint connects to the conference, its type is identified by the
RMX and, if applicable, the RMX will connect it using one CIF resource,
even if a higher resolution can be used.
To force CIF resource:
1 On the RMX menu, click Setup > System Configuration.
The System Flags dialog box opens.
2 In the MCMS_PARAMETERS tab, click the New Flag button.
The New Flag dialog box is displayed.
3 In the New Flag field enter the flag name:
FORCE_CIF_PORT_ALLOCATION
4 In the Value field enter the product type to which the CIF resource
should be allocated. Possible values are:
— CMA Desktop for CMA desktop client
— VSX nnnn where nnnn represents the model number for
example, VSX 8000.
