Video Conferencing Protocols

Video conferencing can be run across two types of networks. These are called ‘Circuit Switched’ and
Packet Switched’.
Circuit Switched networks have the following characteristics:
•Bandwidth is guaranteed through the network
•Bandwidth is not shared once connection is established
•Just like a phone call – you bring up a circuit through the network on demand
•Information is sent as a single bit stream
Packet Switched networks have the following characteristics:
•Bandwidth is NOT guaranteed
•Bandwidth IS shared
•Circuits are built as needed and are not available on demand
•Information is sent after being broken down into packets

Video Conferencing Protocols

On most TANDBERG codecs and infrastructure devices, there is a choice of which type of network configuration you are using to place video calls.
The three choices are:


H.320



H.323



and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

Often there is also a choice to configure an “IP” network. This option often refers to H.323.
H.320 defines how circuit switched networks are used in video communications. By far the most common circuit switched network is ISDN or Intergrated Services Digital network. The H.320 standard includes its signaling mechanisms and how voice, video, and other payload are transmitted over the ISDN interface.

IP configuration often refers to H.323, however both H.323 and SIP are signaling protocols that operate on IP based networks. Like the H.320 protocol, the H.323 standard includes its signaling mechanisms and how voice, video are transmitted.
SIP, however, does not handle the voice, video, and other payload; SIP just defines signaling procedures which are used to set up, maintain, and tear down the IP connections that carry the voice, video, and other payload signals.

Video Conferencing Protocols

In order for it to be a success, video conferencing has to be built around standards so that systems from different manufacturers can communicate with each other. There are a huge range of standards within video conferencing and some of these we need to know about. H.320 is the
‘umbrella’ standard that dictates how video conference traffic runs over Circuit Switched Networks which include ISDN networks. An umbrella standard is basically a group of standards that when working together achieve the end goal. In this case, the H.320 standard is a group of standards that govern all the parts of our video conference, for example how we compress our video signal or how we display our video picture.
H.320 has a number of standards which are ‘required’ in order for a system to be ‘standards compliant’ and a number of standards that are ‘optional’. Since most of the ‘optional’ standards are later developments and improvements to the original ‘required’ standards they are not really optional if you want to produce a market leading product. However it is essential that the ‘required’ standards are also present so that new equipment can still communicate with old equipment.

Video Conferencing Protocols

H.323 is not a single protocol. It is actually a series of protocols that together create the “umbrella” of
H.323. Although H.323 does enable endpoints to establish point to point connections without one; it relies on the centralized intelligence of a gatekeeper to control the communications in a multi-point session. Two of the signaling protocols under the H.323 umbrella are H.225 and H.245:
• H.225 admits endpoints onto the video network and establishes connections between endpoints. Two main components to H.225 are Q.931 and RAS.
• Registration Admission Status (RAS)- RAS allows control of the video network as a whole one zone at a time. It gives gatekeepers the ability to manage the devices in a zone. Used between endpoints and gatekeepers.
• Q.931 is responsible for establishing and tearing down connections between H.323 endpoints.
• Once the connections have been established, H.245 negotiates with the communicating devices a Capabilities Exchange (CapEx). H.245 establishes which protocols an endpoint supports, which protocol combinations that endpoints support, which protocols an endpoint prefers, the best possible bit rate available to all endpoints, the master-slave relationships between endpoints, etc.

Video Conferencing Protocols

The RAS Process follows the sequence below:
A Registration Request (RRQ) is sent to identify the endpoint that wishes to be admitted to the network. An RRQ contains the following addresses that can be used to contact the endpoint:


E.164 alias



H323id



IP address

The gatekeeper sends a Registration Confirm (RCF) to confirm that endpoint’s entry into the video network. If for any reason the endpoint is not admitted, it will send a Registration Reject (RRJ) to the endpoint.
In order to set up a video connection, an endpoint will send an Admission Request (ARQ). An ARQ contains: •

Called units E.164 alias/H323id



Requested call bandwidth

The result of an ARQ could be an Admission Confirm (ACF) to confirm the connection, provide the remote IP address and the call’s bandwidth to the calling endpoint; or an Admission Reject (ARJ) to deny the connection.
The called endpoint also sends an Admission Request (ARQ) to accept an incoming call.

H.245 entails:
• Terminal capability set exchange (protocols unit supports) • Master/slave negotiation - Who is master and slave
• Open logical channel
• Closing logical channel slide 11

Video Conferencing Protocols

Part of the connection process is to identify the capabilities of each device participating in the video conferencing session. Also know sometimes as CapEx, for Capabilities Exchange; terminal capability set exchange exchanges information about the type of protocols the H.323 units supports (G711 and
H263 etc), the combination of protocols that the unit supports, and the protocol combinations that are preferred by the endpoint.
In videoconferencing, it is necessary to identify a “Main” endpoint so that the endpoints all know the role that they must play to successfully complete a call. H.245 negotiates this master-slave relationship between the devices. If there is an MCU/MPS involved in the connection, then the MCU will always be the master device.
H.245 is also responsible for opening and closing the logical channels that are used to carry the video and audio information. These logical channels will usually contain Real-time Transport Protocol
(RTP) over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Internet Protocol (IP), as discussed in the
TANDBERG and IP prerequisite learning session.

Video Conferencing Protocols

SIP is used strictly for signaling. It does not carry any voice, video, or streaming information; it sets up and enables that information transfer. SIP relies less on centralized intelligence then does H.323 due to its simplicity, however; it is commonly deployed and integrated into a network using the same architecture as H.323 with a SIP registrar in place of a gatekeeper.
SIP was defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force and is therefore not a standard; unlike H.323 which is a standard.
SIP is a simplified signaling protocol as compared to H.323; there are only six types of SIP Requests (i.e. signaling messages):
•Invite
•Ack(knowledge)
•Options
•Bye
•Cancel
•Register
SIP also offers a more flexible signaling platform than H.323 by including manufacturer, user defined, and experimental fields to the signaling messages for greater capabilities and easier customization of features. This flexibility is also a major drawback. It creates compatibility issues between vendors and has even been the catalyst for the evolution of multiple SIP
“standards”.

Using a SIP Registrar
The registrar provides registration for SIP endpoints. In order for a SIP endpoint to be contactable via its registered alias, it must register its location with a SIP Registrar.


SIP URI’s always take the form X@Y where X indicates the unit and Y the domain. Both values can be a name or an IP address



To a SIP Registrar, you must configure it with the SIP Domain(s) for which it will be authoritative. Registrars will accept registration requests for any endpoints attempting to register with an alias that includes that domain.

Video Conferencing Protocols

Video and audio communications are primarily about humans communicating with humans.
Humans both speak with and listen to analog signals. Most of this human to human communication takes place between 300 Hz and 3400 Hz, although other frequencies can be and are used as well.
Video and audio signals are most accurately recreated and transmitted over very short distances as an analog signal. However, most of the time audio and video signals are transmitted; they are transmitted over long distances, possibly thousands of miles when the signal reaches its destination. Over long distances, analog signals lose power and gain large amounts of noise making the signal received at the destination useless. For long distance transmissions; digital media are far superior. Digital bit streams can easily be recreated periodically over the entire transmission without gaining a significant amount noise.
Some bandwidth limitations can be overcome by using the right coding protocol. A protocol’s variables, such as, compression technique, error correction, coding scheme, and ability to extrapolate (predict) can improve signal quality by reducing the need for bandwidth, correcting transmission errors, and/or reducing the amount of information that needs to be transmitted.

G.711 digitizes analog signals using a process called Pulse Code Modulation (PCM). The output of this process is an excellent quality 64000 bit per second digital representation of the original signal with low delay. This is the minimum requirements on all codecs.
G.722 digitizes analog signals using a variation of the PCM process. This process is called
Sub-Band Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (SB-ADPCM). This modulation method allows G.722 to represent up to 7000 Hz audio with a digital 64000 bps, 56000 bps, or 48000 bps depending on the mode.
G.722.1 describes a low-complexity extension mode to G.722, which permits 14 kHz audio to be transmitted at 24, 32, and 48 Kbps. This mode provides the same 40 ms delay as the
7 kHz mode.
G.728- There have been a number of patterns identified by audio engineers that can be used to predict human voice sequences. The process that is used to make this prediction is called Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP). G.728 uses Low-Delay Code Excited Linear
Prediction (LD-CELP) to encode analog signals. G.728 can transmit voice using only a
16000 bps signal. The delay for G.728 is 625 µs.
AAC-LD- Advanced Audio Coding- Low Delay (AAC-LD) is a method that encodes stereo audio. It is contained within Motion Picture Experts Group 4 (MPEG4) standard. AAC-LD provides high quality and low delay 20 kHz audio.

Video Conferencing Protocols

Short for Phase Alternating Line, PAL is the dominant television standard across Europe, delivering
625 lines at 50 half-frames per second.
Short for National Television System Committee, NTSC is the United States committee responsible for creating technological television and video standards.
These standards bodies define two main formats for video that are supported today; CIF and SIF:
Phase Alternating Line (PAL)
• CIF-With the advent of videoconferencing standards in the early 1990’s a ‘compromise’ video standard between NTSC and PAL was created. Called CIF, for Common
Intermediate Format, the idea was to have all videoconferencing systems translate PAL or NTSC to CIF, and by doing so, have each system take half of the step of translating from PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL: CIF is based on the resolution of PAL and the frame rate of NTSC. (352x288 at 30 fps)

H.261 is an ITU standard for videoconferencing. H.261 operates in the 64kbps to 2mbps range.
All H.323 compliant videoconferencing system are required to support this codec. QCIF and
CIF formats are found in H.261. H.261 offers full-pel motion compensation
H.263 is also an ITU standard for video coding. H.263 offers better compression than H.261, particularly in the low bitrate range. The H.263 standard contains a mechanism to define and use customized formats. H.263 supports the following standard source formats:
• SQCIF 128x96@29.97 fps
• 4CIF 704x576@29.97 fps
• 16CIF 1408x1152@29.97 fps
H.264 is the latest ITU standard for video compression. It is based on MPEG-4 and renders roughly equal video quality with H.263, but at half the bit rate (e.g. 256 Kbps instead of 512
Kbps for an H.263 stream.)

DVI sockets are found on flat panel monitors and TVs, DVD players, data projectors and cable TV set-top boxes. The DVI-Integrated (DVI-I) socket on the monitor accommodates both analog and digital signals. It can accept an analog VGA signal from the computer using a DVD-A plug or a digital DVI signal using a DVD-D plug.
RCA- An RCA connector is a plug and a jack designed for use with coaxial cable for frequencies ranging from the very lowest up to several megahertz. An RCA connector is sometimes known as a phono plug and jack.
S-Video- (Super-video) A video color format that combines the three YUV video signals into two channels. Brightness/luma (Y) is in one channel, and color/chroma (U and V) are in another.
XLR- (eXternal Left Right or eXternal Live Return connector) An audio plug and socket used in professional and high-end audio equipment. It uses a balanced connection and typically locks into the socket. XLR connectors are twice the size of the standard RCA plug and socket.

...Revision of Critical essay *Introduction In today's society there is a lot of pressure on students academically to have a good performance and with that comes a lot of stress. Some students find a way to try to balance their hectic school life style whether it be some kind of recreational activity. One of those activities is sports and whether it can make a better student. I believe that yes it can increase your performance academically because it teaches you skills such as focus, fitness and communication with others. In the article “do athletes make better students, Natalie Gil written for the guardian.com. Natlie Gil claims that studies show that doing both can benefit studies and sports performance, providing motivation and preparation. Natalie Gil also goes on to state that it helps organization and pervents procrastination and that being fit alters students mood in a good way claiming a healthy body is a healthy mind.

...INTRODUCTION Many students of HRM in Taguig City University work part-time Employment during school could improve grades if working promotes aspects that correspond with academic success, such as industriousness or time management skills, or instead reduce grades by reducing time and energy available for school work. Otherwise, working might be associated with academic performance, yet not directly influence it, if unobserved student differences influence both labor supply and grades. Unmotivated students might neither work for pay nor receive good grades because they put little effort into the labor market or school. In contrast, HRM students uninterested in academics might work long hours that would otherwise have been devoted to leisure. Students might misjudge the link between college achievement and future earnings when making labor supply decisions. If so, obtaining a consistent estimate of how such decisions affect academic performance is prospectively important for policy consideration. Some of HRM students in Taguig City University Students are more likely to work than they are to live on campus, to study full time, to attend a four-year college or university, or to apply for or receive financial aid. Students work regardless of the type of institution they attend, their age or family responsibilities, or even their family income or educational and living expenses.

Student Adversity

... Adversity allows an individual to develop a sense of discipline, as well as encouraging individuals to exercise their mind to confront a problem or conflict. Specifically, students who encounter hardships are more inclined to try harder, which promotes competition within the school. Although adversity may be beneficial towards some students, challenges can be detrimental for students who lack confidence. For instance, some students develop a mentality of despair; they believe that if one has to work hard, then the person does not have the natural ability for the assignment. Based on the effects of adversity aforementioned, I believe that students can both benefit from the obstacles faced in school with the proper mentality or the effects could be hindering. Students face adversity every day, regardless of how transparent the obstacle may be; some problems may not be as evident as others. According to Carol S. Dweck, author of Brainology, all students face adversities throughout their high-school career, specifically, the challenge of overcoming a fixed mindset. In this excerpt, “The belief that intelligence is fixed dampened students’ motivation to learn, made them afraid of effort, and made them want to quit after a setback”, Carol portrays the illusion that students have over intuitive intelligence (Dweck 2). Students who share this belief of a...
