Polycom introduced H.264 High Profile technology to reduce network bandwidth requirements and reduce the cost of video communications for enterprises
This document introduces Polycom's H.264 High Profile, a video codec that delivers the same visual quality as the Baseline profile while using roughly half the bandwidth. It provides bitrate comparisons for various resolutions and shows how the High Profile can reduce deployment costs for video‑conferencing solutions.
The manual also lists supported Polycom devices (VBP, RPX, TPX, ATX) and describes system upgrade paths from legacy Baseline implementations, including lost‑packet recovery features and interoperability notes. This manual is written in Japanese.
| 4CIF30 bitrate (Baseline / High Profile) | 256 kbps / 128 kbps |
|---|---|
| 1080p30 bitrate (Baseline / High Profile) | 2.048 Mbps / 1.024 Mbps |
| Supported resolution range | CIF to 1080p |
Polycom VBP, RPX, TPX and ATX models all support the High Profile codec.
The High Profile can transmit 1080p30 video at 1.024 Mbps.
