Adjust the video quality to call rate ratio (page 1 of 2)
Video input quality settings

When encoding and transmitting video there is a trade-off
between high resolution (sharpness) and high frame rate (motion).
The Video Input Connector n Quality setting must be set to
Motion for the optimal definition settings to take any effect. With
the video input quality set to Sharpness, the endpoint will transmit
the highest resolution possible, regardless of frame rate.
Optimal definition profile

The optimal definition profile should reflect the lighting conditions
in the video conferencing room and the quality of the camera
(video input source). The better the lighting conditions and the
better the quality of the camera, the higher the profile should be
used.
Generally, the Medium profile is recommended. However, if the
lighting conditions are very good, we recommend that you test
the endpoint on the various Optimal Definition Profile settings
before deciding on a profile. The High profile may 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
tables on the next page. The resolution and frame rate must be
supported by both the calling and called systems.
Sign in to the web interface and navigate to Setup > Configuration.
1. Go to Video > Input > Connector n > Quality and set the video
quality parameter to Motion.

Connect input sources (page 2 of 2)
Set type and name for an input source

We recommend that you set type and name for an input source:
• Video > Input > Connector n > InputSourceType
• Video > Input > Connector n > Name
These settings determine the names and icons that are shown
on the user interfaces. Intuitive names and icons make source
selection easier.
About video and content quality

Use the Video > Input > Connector n > Quality setting to optimize
quality with respect to motion or sharpness.
Typically, you should choose Motion when a large number of
participants are present or when there is a lot of motion in the
picture. Choose Sharpness when you want the highest quality of
detailed images and graphics.
The default value is Motion for Connector 1 and Sharpness for
Connector 2 and 3.

delay on our video systems, and also to detect and compensate list of displays is subject to change, check the CE9 Software Release Notes for updates.
for total delay between the audio and video components.
We recommend that you use displays with low delay to increase
the naturalness of communications. We also recommend that you
test a sample before ordering a large number of displays. Model LG global website link
Delay through most displays is often very high (>100 ms) and is 49” UHD (49UH5C) http://www.lg.com/global/business/information-display/digital-signage/lg-49UH5C
therefore detrimental to real-time communication quality. 55” UHD (55UH5C) http://www.lg.com/global/business/information-display/digital-signage/lg-55UH5C
The following display settings may reduce the delay: 65” UHD (65UH5C) http://www.lg.com/global/business/information-display/digital-signage/lg-65UH5C
• Activate Game mode, PC mode or similar modes that are 75” UHD (75UH5C) http://www.lg.com/global/business/information-display/digital-signage/lg-75UH5C

or any other video processing that introduces additional delay
• Deactivate advanced audio processing, like Virtual Surround
effects and Dynamic Compression, which will make any
acoustic echo canceller malfunction
• Change to a different HDMI input
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC)

The active video input on a display is sometimes changed by a
user. The video input that is active is set from the manufacturer’s
user interface.
When you make a call the video system detects if the active video
input has been switched to another input on the display. The
video system then switches the input back so the video system is
the active video input source.
If the video system is not the active input source when it goes into
standby the display will not be set to standby.

Connect the ISDN Link

The ISDN Link enables a video system to use ISDN lines for Setup with LAN and direct connection between the video system and ISDN Link
connectivity, and enables both video calls and telephone calls
over the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). This is the recommended setup. But there are other options, so see the user documentation for
additional examples: ► https://www.cisco.com/go/isdnlink-docs
ISDN Link support ISDN BRI, ISDN PRI and V.35. ISDN can be
used in addition to regular IP connectivity for SIP or H.323 calls,
or without any IP infrastructure.
ISDN Link is managed from the video systems web interface. Sign
in to the web interface, and navigate to Setup > Peripherals.
Requirements:
• The ISDN Link must be running IL1.1.7 software or later LAN
• The video system (codec) must be running CE9.3 software or
later. The ISDN Link must be re-paired with the video system PC/Laptop for system

to CE software. Video system
• The video endpoint must have IPv6 enabled in the web (represented by
interface or API in order to communicate with the ISDN Link an SX80 codec)

• The video system and ISDN Link must be on the same subnet. rear panel
If the endpoint or ISDN Link are assigned new IP addresses
they will only remain paired as long as they are kept in the
same subnet.
Limitations:
• Video systems that are registered to the Cisco Spark cloud
service are not able to use ISDN Link.

firewalls consider this as a sign of attack. When Dynamic is selected, the H.323 ports
used are from 11000 to 20999. Once 20999 is reached they restart again at 11000.
The ports are automatically selected by the system within the given range. Firewall

Serial interface for maintenance

Use the micro USB connector for direct communication with
USB Micro USB
the video system1. You need a micro USB to USB cable. If the Video
computer doesn’t auto-install a serial port driver, you need to Computer

install a serial port driver on the computer manually.2 USB to micro USB cable
Use a terminal emulator (SSH client) to connect to the serial

interface. For the most common computer types (PC, MAC) and
operating systems, PuTTY or Tera Term will work.
The serial connection can be used without an IP-address, DNS, or
a network.

Serial communication is enabled by default. Use the following

configuration to change the behavior:

For security reasons, you are asked to sign in before using the
serial interface. Use the following setting to change the behavior:
SerialPort > LoginRequired
Restart the video system when you have made changes to the
serial port settings.
If your video system is provisioned by CUCM, the serial port
settings should be configured from CUCM.

The micro-USB port is for maintenance. If you want to access the video
system's API over a serial connection, connect to the USB port (type A). Refer
to the API guide for details.

Appendices
Get a new HTTPFeedback address from TMS

When a video system is added to Cisco TelePresence
Management Suite (TMS), it is automatically configured to
send information (events) back to TMS. The video system
receives the address that these events should be sent to from
TMS (HTTPFeedback address). If this address is absent or
misconfigured, the video system cannot send events to TMS.
Missing response to events

If the video system does not receive a response to an event, it will
retry sending it to the HTTPFeedback address up to 10 times at 1
second intervals.
If the video system does not receive a response to any of the
retries, the endpoint deletes the HTTPFeedback address and
cannot send events to TMS anymore.
This causes loss of Call Detail Records (CDR) on TMS.
Get a new HTTPFeedback address from TMS

In order to get a new address to send events to, you must restart
the video system and wait for the next management address push
from TMS (scheduled or triggered by the TMS administrator).
