Video Protocol

The ITU-C video algorithm and annexes used in the current call. The video protocol used depends on the capabilities of the system at the far site as well as on your system's configuration.

Video Rate

Bandwidth specified for the video portion of the call. The proportion of the video rate to the audio rate depends on the comm protocol used.

Video Rate Used

Actual bandwidth being used for the video portion of the call. This is a real-time measurement, which normally fluctuates. The Dynamic Bandwidth option on the Bandwidth tab of the Network Setup page affects this value.

Video Frame Rate

Rate at which your system updates the picture seen at the far site. The system can send up to 30 frames per second. If the camera picks up large, continuous, or frequent motions, the software takes longer to assemble the data into video frames, and the frame rate drops. Changes in lighting also reduce the frame rate.

Video Packets Lost

Number of video data packets lost in a call. Packet loss indicates congestion or other problems on the network.

Video Jitter

Percentage of variation in the video transmission rate.

Video Format

The picture size currently in use.

Error Concealment

Error concealment used in the current call. To use error concealment, both sites must support it. Values displayed in this field include:

Value Description
None Error concealment is not in use because the far end site does not support it.
Available Error concealment is available, but it is not needed in this call.
LPR Lost packet recovery is in use for the video in this call.

Audio Protocol

The audio algorithm and annexes used in the current call. The audio protocol used depends on the capabilities of the system at the far site as well as on your system’s configuration.

Audio Rate

Bandwidth specified for the audio portion of the call. The proportion of the audio rate to the video rate depends on the comm protocol used.

Audio Packets Lost

Number of audio data packets lost in a call. Packet loss indicates congestion or other problems on the network. The Dynamic Bandwidth option on the Bandwidth tab of the Network Setup page allows the system to reduce the call bandwidth to prevent packet loss.

Audio Jitter

Percentage of variation in the audio transmission rate.
