1. All CTS endpoints will send a copy of their audio in G.711 format 2. CTMS determines which CTS segment is emitting the most dominant audio and requests it to send a copy of that segments video in CIF resolution 3. CTMS mixes the G.711 channels from all CTS endpoints into a single G.711 channel and switches CIF and G.711 to CUVC 4. As the dominant audio segment changes throughout the meeting, CTMS 44 Cisco Public switches the CIF video stream accordingly

Why is TelePresence So Sensitive? Cisco TelePresence Codecs use 1080p30 Resolution
1920 lines of Vertical Resolution (Widescreen Aspect Ratio is 16:9) 1080 lines of Horizontal Resolution 1080 x 1920 lines = 2,073,600 pixels per frame x 3 colors per pixel x 1 Byte (8 bits) per color x 30 frames per second = 1,492,992,000 bps or 1.4 Gbps Uncompressed

Cisco TelePresence Codecs transmit 3-5 Mbps per 1080p screen, which represents over 99% compression. Therefore packet loss is proportionally magnified in overall video quality.
