How to increase the default bit rate/bandwidth for movi calls?

[startryst]

Hi, Expert

As the subject, not sure what's the default setup, but the movi calls to each other in LAN can achieve only 352*288, with configured bitirate 314kb/s in the statistics during the call

see below picture for detail:

Hi, Martin

I tested again, with set the Max In/Out bandwidth of configuration template in TMS to 512, and after that, I made the call, it's still 1000, and then I go to the system navigator and select VCS, and select provisioning, and then force refreshed,

then both movi logout and login again, the call running in 512, instead of 1000 which was set as the default bandwidth in VCS.

So you're right, as long as the provisoning settings there, it will used that as the acutal one, but it required the provisoning to VCS refreshed, otherwise, it remain the original settings.

Hi, Martin

If I set the Movi to 1000, and iPad to 384, is this will be an problem when they call each other? I just found the iPad could call with movi, but there isn't any video from both side...I'm not sure whether this is related to the bandwidth setting, or anything else?

In the before, when no any bandwidth provisioning setting to both Movi and iPad, they can call each other, and video on both side.

Should be no problem, "Movi" to "iPad" calls here work fine.

Set the in and outbound bandwidth, if you use the VCS-E you would also need to add the public bandwidth settings.

What kind of network were the ipad in?

* in the same wireless lan (and VCS-C)? I have seen that some Accesspoints have a feature to disable client to client communication, but that would be needed if you are registered to the VCS-C

* via 3G (and VCS-E) some network providers give you a public ip but firewall it. The VCS-E does not like that and that can cause no audio/video as well.

Does the behavior stay the same when you remove the bandwidth setting?

Sometimes a new problem is unrelated and a simple change of connection (or for example how the 3g provider handles the ip addresses can have an impact).

Btw, thank you for rating the answer and set the thread to answered. I appreciate it if you rate the other answers as well as these little stars is what motivates me posting here :-)

Hi, Martin

There might be some network issues yesterday, I did an test from iPad to Movi, it works, but in addition I've tested another thing, which is unexpected finally:

I've set the Max Out bandwidth of iPad to 384 (which the hardware only support this level), and the Max In bandwdith of iPad to 1000 (which I think if the peer is an Windows Movi, the iPad could see much more clear than it sent).

but finally, when iPad calling Movi, the statistics shown, the Movi didn't send out 1000, instead, it sending 384, and the resolution of that is 352*288, and the Movi receiving stream from iPad is around 384, with resolution 640*480...see below for the screenshot I captures from Movi side:

So the conclusion is that it doens't support asymetric bandwidth settings? is that true?

[Martin Koch]

Not sure if not asymetric, but at least not more then 384 in and out (the admin guide mentiones bandwidth up to 1mbit,

but I also never saw that.

Think the documentation is not good regards the ipad client, to many question makes left after reading it.

Did somebody manage to get some kind of status screen on the ipad client?

[startryst]

there isn't statistics screen on iPad, at least I tried from iPad, there isnt'...
