Specifying Advanced Video Properties
To optimize the video from your PVX, you need to correctly specify the PVX
video settings. Before you start, you need to know the CPU load level of your
video input device. Refer to

for
more information.
To specify the advanced video properties:
1.
From the PVX Main page, select

CPU while not in a call.
Video Quality
Select Smoother Motion to make video motion
appear smooth, even though the picture may lose
detail. Select this option when the call includes
participants moving around the room and no shared
documents.
Select Sharper Image for a sharp, clear picture, even

the total CPU load.

increases the CPU load.
Select High if the device’s driver significantly
increases the CPU load.
