Solution
When the resolution of the received video is grainy, the user may perceive that the video quality is poor.
However, this does not cause video distortion or artifacts.
•
Check the Cisco Unified Communications Manager bandwidth settings under Region settings.
•
Check the Receiver Resolution in video statistics. This may be an issue if the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager bandwidth setting limits the resolution to less than CIF, (352x288). Try
increasing the bandwidth to at least 275 kbps.
